Class layering

This in class assignment was to teach us how to draw things in layers. for instance: first row, second row, third row… it taught me that when drawing in layers usually the object closest has the most detail while the further away objects become more simplified.

Pella

I came up with Pella’s structure by simply removing the base of Orca, also by simplifying the shapes of paper which I used. The cylindrical shape of the paper was now more appropriate in comparison to the shape of the 12 twigs that I used. However, there was still something missing from my project, something that didn’t make it seam finished. And that’s when I thought back to critiques and in almost every one someone’s project got flipped on its side. That is was inspired me to place my project on a ball of clay which is also what the base and adhesive consist of. And that’s how it got its name Pella- is the Italian word for ball. In order to make sure that the project would hold itself for a long period of time I research Frank Lloyd Wrights Fallingwater because he used the natural materials around the houses location and built the house into the mountain’s stream rather then placing it on top.

Orka

Orka was inspired by the diversity and elegance of the complex sea creature coral. I used twelve twigs which were spray pained black with read tips; white water color paper and white clay were also used. The clay is the bonding agent for the entire model.

Lecture searies- John Linn

On Wednesday, Mr. Linn came to our lecture class to speak about sustainability 2030. At the start of his program he asked the audience what they would expect to see if they were a fish. Naturally thoughts of brightly colored fish swimming thought the majestic coral reefs swam through the minds of the captured audience. Then he began to project comical images of natural every-day human activities but under water, on to the big screen. I specifically remember on of a convertible driving under water. He later used these thoughts and images to move into what he refereed to as the "human storm." The Human Storm is his terminology for describing the affects on how the natural environment is changed when the human element is added.

Later, Mr. Linn introduced AIA's 2030 concept. to highlight his argument he used the Trinity Church in Boston; which was built roughly around 130 years ago yet is still being used today. The point of this lecture was to stimulate the minds of young architectures in having porpoise and quality in their designs. So as not to have a failed design as well as to have an environmentally savvy building that could be used even after its first hundred years.

Kite-candy

Kite

Also during the second critique, Kite was detached from Pinka-Boo and looked at as its own piece. In order for Kite to meet all the requirements nine more twigs will need to be added. I also intend on adding paper that is made by myself: this paper will be consist of Bristol board and paint. The bonding agent will be raffia and life savors candies.

Cheshire

Cheshire's purpose of existence is to improve the quality and overall goal of Pinka-Boo. After the first critique, I decided that Pinka-Boo was too literal and to over thought. The next craft had to be smaller and show a stronger involvement of the twelve twigs hence, Cheshire's birth. Still providing similarities between itself and Pinka-Boo however one large change had been made- from being a six sided object to a five sided object. Also, Cheshire remains successful without the use of a peak-whole.
