HARVARD GSD
PROJECT 2
Scope:
Part 1: 3 models 10x10x10
Part 2: 1 model 15x15x20
Objective:
Part 1: Crop out 2 10x10 parts from the figuration drawing in different scale. One is the top the other the bottom. Connect top to bottom using the drawing and decide what happens in between.
Part 2: From the models the instructors decide the design method that will be used. The objective is to create a room or building that has two hierarchical positions, vertical and horizontal.
MODEL 1
Material: Bristol Board
Design Thinking: Extrude
When doing this model I decided to not necessarily follow the 10x10 box. I extruded some shaped I found interesting and added some other shapes for support and did some manipulation as well.
MODEL 2
Material: Foam Board, Hard and Soft Cork Board
Design Thinking: Extrude & Twist
I used extrude and twist for this model. I used the softness of the material to my advantage and manipulated it, twisting and bending it to connect the top and bottom. I used the hard cork for platforms and stacking and connecting.
MODEL 3
Material: Foam Board, Hard and Soft Cork Board
Design Thinking: Twist
For the last model I used majority of the soft cork. I got the two most interesting shapes I found at the bottom and used a hard cork for the base as the soft cork extended and twisted to the top and made the connection from top to bottom.
PART 2
Material: Bristol Board
For part 2 of the project the instructors decided on using the design thinking of model 1; specifically extruding shapes from planes.
I used that concept by extruding rectangles to create staircases, ramps, hallways, and bridges that connect from point A to B vertically and point B to A horizontally.
