Zachary G. Xenios: AD 1Project
Landscape: Rainforest 

Fall Semester 2019 - Project

The first step in any project is information and research. My class randomly selected landscape by drawing. My landscape was the rain forest so I read up a bunch about the climate, geography, and general properties of the rain forest. This lead me the 4 main points to build from. First always big sturdy roof because of the rain(duh). Second  raised platforms for the creepy crawlies. Third  large open areas for large air floe to bear the heat and humidity. Fourth and finally work/storage space under neath. My first models tried to incorporate these as the main principals but not much can be done with three plans.

For our first project we spent a few days learning about the Fibonacci sequence and experimenting with using three plans of three different sizes to make simple models. these models where to be put into an environment. We completed a research diagram of our landscape to help cater to the needs of people living there and help us in design.

This draft is a project plan that includes an axonometric 30:60 draft, top down, cutaway, and 3  elevations. the model I used was my second model design and was original made for closed spaces/tight corners  however the main idea later switched to large elevated plans to use as floor space and keep off the ground.

Final Cube Model: Stair Step Cage ​​

My final model has three medium plans for floor space, a large roof covering over half of the model, and a cage like structure detailing one of the corners and adding frame work to break up the left side.
Our model study had us build a verity of model to generate different ideas of structures that might best suite the particular environment. We then took the best model and developed the idea further and added bass wood sticks to finish it off. 

Final drafts 

After we finished our models we learned about interior perspective and drafted a point within or right outside of our model to showcase it as if you were actually there. The last step was a full axonometric draft of the completed model with the base model colored to show the models origins.
