Lily Roberts : Architectural Design I/Architectural Design II
Project 1: Fibonacci Cube
|

|
At the beginning of this project, we started off with learning and drawing the Fibonacci spiral. This project was an insight into basic architectural design,by tarting with this, it helped us later in the project to cut out 3 different sized rectangles from a 8 by 8 square, which was one step from our Final Cube Model.

For this part of the project, we were asked to design a transportation stop using the 3 planes we had just cut out. We had to think about the space and how effectively we could use it, for either; seating, a roof or walls. We were also tasked to interlock the planes, this meant they had to intersect and stand up on its own, instead of using glue or other materials. We had to be precise with our cutting and drawing the grids, if we had been off then it could have resulted in the model not fitting and standing on its own. We then went onto create a cube, using our 3 plane design and adding 6 extra planes. We had less space to work with now than we had before as we had more planes, we had to utilize the space we had affectively but still making it suitable for a transportation stop.
Perspective Cube Drawing
For the final parts of the project, we were tasked to draw our Final Cube Model and perspective drawing. We had to practice 3 dimensional and parallel drawing to help set up for our Final Cube Model and drew a perspective drawing of the hallway to prepare for the Final Perspective Drawing. Both drawing took time and effort to get them right. We had to be precise as if we were to draw a part wrong, it would ruin the whole drawing. |
