further scheme with foil/ pattern/case studies

this is the first trial of the applies previous achievements. i am keeping it broad so maybe it is going to becoming more simple and only using combination of 2 or 3 techniques finally.

thanks

Foil studies revisited

I reviewed the earlier Pattern and foil studies and noticed many similarities (and possible solutions) to your projects- please take a look

Ruo


Can you use glimpses/ angles of view as a device within your strategy?


Remember these simple translations?


Reflective materials, differentiated angles/ profiles etc.
This model could almost be a fragment of your catwalk...

Jinuk


These foil models can be re-translated at several scales within your scheme- as urban corridors, geometries, profiles of facets, interactive screen walls


What a great image! - but we haven't seen this since- hidden line render could give another level to the ambiguity of line vs. surface created by your anamorphic techniques

Manijeh


These simple surface studies were where we began discussing distortion, illusions of depth, perception with basic rules


Can we not imagine areas of heightened awareness...


or spaces with a distorted sense of perspective, scale- creating heightened senses of hierarchy, anxiety etc?

Chen


The configuration of holes/ spacing is more complex here than your current scheme..


.. creating the illusion of surfaces by profiling and contour- can this be achieved in your own project?

Zamri


You have been searching for simple strategies about profiling and patterning- but you already have it here- from early foil studies- please carefully consider their reuse


Use them to create a better understanding about the principles and origins of the lofting technique


Include these drawn studies in your portfolio- they are pivotal

Antoine


Stack-bonding techniques have always been more than a simple construction technique- the stepped profiles are intrinsically linked with our perception of the surface- depth/ distance/ tone


Do these differing techniques not offer contrasting approaches to our perception of material and surface within your four adjacencies and the interarticulation of individual volumes/ surfaces?

Royce


Week 2, term 1- and you have possibly already designed the building....
Opposing grains interlaced- what are the effects/ interconnections? Can this technique not be applied between internal skins and floors/ spaces?


Planes that shift to create more openness or conceal activity- could you make small fragments of exactly how the surfaces come together? Maybe not the notching script after all...

Kit


Can your project not benefit from a consistent method/ form-making device but just with simple variations such as here: changes in scale, material, distance- to create differing effects?


What happened to this simple device- to create glimpses- but without cutting the surface away?

Please add your own thoughts/ comments

conclusion of ambition for each stage

Initial Brick Translation of Effects

In this initial drawing, I experimented with different ways of staggering a brick course and how angled facets could meet to capture the effects created in my foil models of perspectival convergence, coincidental disruption and directionality. The above image shows two variations of a perforate brick pattern and how the qualities seem to relate to the effects of the foil models below.

Foil Catalogue

tree diagram showing the families of models and their relationship to one another - for the naming system, I tried to adapt the scientific nomenclature by allowing the names to go from the general to the specific.

matrix of effects: a mapping of primary effects (vertical axis) and secondary effects (horizontal axis)

with a list of model names at the end of each column.

Both pages still need some more work and I have some other evolutionary diagrams that I still have to layout but I wanted to get some feedback on what I have so far and whether this was in keeping with the 3rd brief.

Foil Pin up 30.10.09

Great progress in the foil studies- a huge range of different material studies and effects were fabricated and presented- Well done guys- keep it up!
