SMALL: For the small object I decided to draw a USB with a cap that rotates a full circle clockwise or counter clockwise. We had to draw the movement that the object is able to do on all drawings. In this case I drew the rotation of the cap in different views and the movement of the USB that can be forward, backward, diagonal, etc. We were also required to leave on the construction lines for part 2 of the project.
HARVARD GSD
PROJECT 1
Scope:
Part 1: Small, Medium, Large drawings
Part 2: Combination & Figuration
Objective:
Part 1: Find small, medium, and large objects and draft them out in plan, section, and elevation. If possible the objects should have some sort of relation to them.
Part 2: Combination- combine the different drawings whoever we please and trace them on a bigger sheet of paper together with the construction lines.
Figuration- trace over the final combination drawing, find shapes and forms that look interesting
MEDIUM: For the medium object we had to search for objects in a building that we went on a field trip on which was the Smith Campus Center in Harvard Square. I found a stool that looked like it had a huge screw in the middle for the seat to be adjusted higher or lower by spinning it in the right direction. Since there was rotation in the movement of the stool it related to the rotation of the small object. I drew the stool to show the movement in relation to the table, the stool moving away from it and the seat adjusting upward. The next one showed the rotation of the stool around the table, and the last one showed the table falling on the stool.
LARGE: For the large object we also had to search for it in the Smith Campus Center in Harvard Square. For the large crop we had to place the medium object in the space and draw it in different angles, like thinking outside of the cropped space. The second floor of the building had balcony with 3 platforms. I angled the other two drawings differently to give a different view and shape of the drawing.
COMBINATION: When I was doing the combination twisted and rearranged the other drawings from part 1, putting the other drawings on top of each other and stacking them. I noticed that it began looking like a map wherein the outer part would stop or fade out when it's only concentrated on a certain place, city, or similar.
FIGURATION: For the figuration I decided to stack up on some shapes I found interesting as well. The end product is that an outer wall formed at the top layer and seemed to have a some sort of rotation as well. The shapes formed are a combination of shaped already formed in the combination drawing and new shapes formed by tracing construction lines and parts of the drawings as well.
