Denial Thang: Architectural Design I
|
|
My classmates and I were assigned to make a backyard cottage for a competition. We each had the opportunity to design the backyard cottage off our client and site plan that we got from spinning a wheel. I had received a stained glass artist and site 02A for the project. I researched and studied about backyard cottages and how they were supposed to look like, so I started to get to work. A stained glass artist likes natural lighting, so I tried to add a necessary amount of windows to each side of the walls, even some skylights. The structure of the backyard cottage is based off of the main house.
Craft Investigation
I started off my project by researching the word "craft" so we could have a more brief explanation of the word. Once I understood that a craft was workmanship with handheld elements I looked up topics and pictures about that specific topic. With the information that I found I place it all on a Padlet.
Concept Design
Concept 01 - For my concept design I wanted to make the house seem kind of like a cabin, so I added wood around it. Later on I looked at the design and thought it looked pretty bland, so I placed some brick on the house.

Schematic Design
Craft can mean various things in this world, but the architectural definition "To craft” is to make or manufacture an object with skill and careful attention to detail." I had done this by planning out the building and making the model with chipboard.

Final Design
As we observe the home I made we can see that the home's walls' are made out of wood, and a bit of brick on the front. For my roof I had covered it all with asphalt shingles which is very durable and can last many years. Once we've entered the home, we are inside of the foyer of the house, an entry in which you can hang up your coat, and put your shoe away. When you have finished you make your way to the living room; a place where you can relax and watch tv. If you ever get hungry you can take a left and head into the dining room, and if you keep walking you're going to find the kitchen; a place where you can hoard snacks and cook many dishes.
We come back to the dining room and you could see that there is a little square hole on the top of the ceiling, called a skylight. The natural light shines across the whole area of the dining room , so you won't have to struggle when eating. After eating you're gonna have to hit the john, so you go the waste room/bathroom. Once you've finished you see the a room, which looks like a bedroom, so you rest your head. If your clothes ever get dirty you can go into the laundry where you can clean your wardrobe. There is a workroom right beside the laundry room, so you can get stuff done and focus in there.
