Get ready for the studio activities in Week 3 bringing all the drawing material required as already discussed.
Bring  materials for 3D physical modelling: paper (black, white, and coloured), wire mesh, plastic, foam board, clay, plasticine, cardboard, and any sort of materials you would like to play with.
In Week 3 we will go to 3d modelling and back to drawing...
And here, we ask:
"How can you spatialize the force of the atmospheric/ephemeral element of the site into an architectural beginning?"

This week the intension is to develop these surface drawings as a three dimensional space. Select drawings that have the most potential to be read and modelled spatially and possess architectural sensibilities. Use only one material for the models (mono-material,

cardboard). Here is a link to my Pinterest page that has heaps of examples of mono material models, grouped into 'solid', 'surface' and 'linear' material...

In Week 2 Studio we discussed your production of iterations and explored the concept of critical reflection. Week 1 and Week 2 required the production of at least 6 iterations via frottage and machine drawing.
From Week 3 you have to work      on 6 MODEL ITERATIONS.
1. Explore further the drawing you have produced. Use this design research process to explore something meaningful or of personal interest to you in some way: formal interest, conceptual interest, interest in colour, architectural influence and so forth. Once you identify something that interests you in the drawing, translate that into a 3D exploration. (If you still haven't produced your iterations, this is the moment to catch up!)

2. Select six from this series to explore further through modelling.
Start from the source drawing by drawing over to  'discover' the architecture in it. It may be a section, a plan, a perspective..or it could be more than one. Experiment with techniques in 2D and 3D, combine techniques in one drawing or one model. Remember: models are quick, they are for exploration not representation.
3. You will have to describe what your models could be in architectural terms;  what are the features of the forms you produced, what you spaces, atmospheres, qualities of space you imagine being available, and what aspect/aspects you would explore further. Remember what was discussed in the Q&A and seminar sessions about Critical Reflection.

1. Sign up and Log into Padlet with your proper name, this stops the anonymous posting and we can see who we might be talking to or who the comments are from...

2. Search for your name, and post only to your column (scroll left and right). Look for the + symbol under YOUR NAME to post. Posts will arrange newest at the top.

3. Upload a photo of yourself in your post so we can see who you are...

4. Upload jpg files of studio development which are prepared beforehand using proper scanning techniques (use mobile scanners - such as CAMSCANNER app for manual drawings).

4 Label your posts with a date or development stage.  Each week I shall take an informal record of attendance, quality and quantity of work posted on padlet. Work not submitted to padlet can not be reviewed.

5. You are invited to comment on other work from your peers and to offer construction feedback.

6. Anything else, I am open to suggestions! This the Virtual Wall of our Studio. Please pin-up here your work and progress before the weekly session.

Select a frottage from the work of fellow Group 2 student and write a reflection on what you 'see'. There is no wrong answer. Everyone will 'see' something different. Use the language of architecture / building analysis (see 'Other resources' column for reference) but also your own experience and imagination to describe the architectural potential in the frottage. Post your response on your column in padlet. Identify the work and author.

Hi All. Great to meet and chat with you all about the unit. I look forward to our weekly discussions and seeing your work progress. Please complete the following before we meet in Week 2:
Read the Module B _Theory brief. (The following notes are taken from the brief).To further understand the significance of the design techniques and methods we will engage in (the WHY), the THEORY MODULE begins with a theoretical text–'Informe: Strategies of the Formless', written by Marc Angelil and Mark Lee, ‘Informe,’ in Marc Angelil, 'Inchaote: An Experimental in Architectural Education', Zurich: Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ), 2003.

Come prepared with responses (written and for discussion) to the following questions:

•What are the different strategies of extracting or making the informe evident in this reading?

•Do you think that these strategies work better for art practice or for architecture? Why?

•Does architecture resist these ways of thinking or does occupation of buildings, for example, already make these ideas present?

1.  Read the theoretical texts and respond to the questions pose. Post a min 500 words on Padlet. Use appropriate referencing.
2. Complete  a minimum of 6x distinct frottage drawings. These can be presented as a series. Note the place-name, date and time.

Drawing Materials: Experiment with a range of surface materials (paper) with differing weights and textures. Suggested but not limited to: print paper, tissue paper, water colour paper, trace paper, butter paper. Experiment with a broad range of transfer substances (media) Suggested but not limited to: graphite stick, pastel, charcoal, pencil, watercolour, chalk, conté. Post on Padlet.

3. Whilst completing the above, consider the following questions, in regards to your experience of architecture so far:

·    Who do you think you are as an architect? (Check out the ‘Architectural Political Map’ included on Paldet column ‘Other Resources’ to see where you may ‘fit’.)

·       Has this identify been influenced by 2020?

·       Past, present, (future) knowledge… What, outside of architecture, may influence you as an architect?

·       Do you feel influenced by the ‘humanities’ or the ‘science’ in your architectural thinking?

4. Use your thinking on these questions to pose to yourself a 'Design Research' question. Write your statement question and post on Padlet. This ‘questioning’ stage is the first part of Design Research. The frottage and drawing machine captures are the methods. Knowledge comes through repeating and reflecting upon the process.

Design Research Stages:

Question / Intentions. What is a “wicked problem” you could respond to?

Methods. Enquiry. Iteration. Critical reflection. Transparent, relevant and appropriate to   question. “ A reflective conversation” that unfolds through the process.

Process. Knowledge in… Iterative process. Adductive reasoning (without all knowledge of). Solution focused. Psychomotor (thinking by doing).

Product. Knowledge in… Tacit knowledge. Reversed process. Critical reflection. What does the production suggest / tell you ?

Dive deep. Enjoy the process. See you next week.

In looking closely at a small area of the frottage I am prompted to recall the way flowing water eddies around submerged objects and affects changes in the colour of water and light reflected off the surface. I image a cluster of small buildings being buffeted by a natural force…water, air, snow…and how exposure to this condition would, over time, change the condition of the building material. I ask myself, could this time / condition / influence be anticipated and ‘designed into’ the building form, so that if newly built on site it could already speak of it’s future? I think of the eroded material texture, the ‘lean into’ of the form and the anchoring to site that may be require for such a response.

In Week 6 Studio we discussed your production of iterations, explored the concept of critical reflection, and did a drawing  exercise starting the translation from 2D to 3D.
This is what you will have to practice for Week 7.
You have to work on 3 DRAWING ITERATIONS.
1. Start a new one from a source of your choice - look for a source that is meaningful to you in some ways: formal interest, conceptual interest, interest in colour, and so forth. Explore the source by drawing and once you get to something that makes sense to you, translate that into a 3D exploration.
2 - 3. Complete two of the series you produced exploring them through modelling.
If you still haven't produced your iterations, this is the moment to catch up.
Start from the source and drawing by  'discovering' the architecture in it. it will be a section, a plan, a perspective..or it could be more than one.
You will have to then observe the 'final' drawing of each series and articulate it in words: describe what it can be, what are the features of the forms you produced, what you find interesting in it and what aspect/aspects you would explore further. Remember what we discussed in the Q&A session about Critical Reflection.
Experiment with techniques in 2D and 3D, combine techniques in one drawing or one model. Remember: models are quick, they are for exploration not representation.
PLEASE TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR DRAWINGS AND MODELS AND POST THE 3 DRAWING ITERATIONS IN 1PDF FILE UNDER YOUR NAME IN THE PADLET BEFORE THE WEEK 7 STUDIO SESSION.
Explore, experiment, and most importantly, have fun!

# data[].attributes.body
Get ready for the studio activities in Week 7 bringing the drawing material required for the studio, tracing paper, white paper, and all the material you would like to experiment with.
Bring also  materials you would like to experiment in 3d physical modelling: paper (black, white, and coloured), wire mesh, plastic, and any sort of materials you would like to play with.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first week of the Module we discussed the concept of drawing iteration and did a series of drawing exercises using the three techniques presented in this module: continuous line, ruled line, and figure-ground.
I then asked you to articulate in words what you see in your drawings and to define the qualities of the forms you drew.
This is what you will have to practice for Week 2.
You have to produce  3 DRAWING ITERATIONS starting from three different sources:
1. one of your rubbings
2. an image (from the internet, your photo, ..) related to an organic form
3. an image (from the internet, your photo, ..) related to the realm of Machine
You will have to produce a series of drawings starting from the source and drawing by drawing 'discovering' the architecture in it. It will be a section, a plan, a perspective..or it could be more than one.
You will have to then observe the 'final' drawing of each series and articulate it in words: describe what it can be, what are the features of the forms you produced, what you find interesting in it and what aspect/aspects you would explore further.
Important: experiment with techniques, not only the ones presented in the studio. You can try watercolours, markers, oil colours, photographic paper and light, +++. Of course you can also combine different techniques in one drawing.
PLEASE TAKE PICTURES OR SCAN YOUR DRAWINGS AND POST THE 3 DRAWING ITERATIONS IN 1PDF FILE UNDER YOUR NAME IN THE PADLET BEFORE THE STUDIO SESSION

ASSIGNMENT 2

# data[].attributes.body
Where do you go from here? Consider doing the following things to help you plan your AT3 :
1. Read the AT3 brief. Check out the rubric to understand the areas that are similar and different to the previous assessments.
2. You need a context (consider physical site, community,  environment conditions etc). You need a building program ( consider what could be of use or need in the context). You need an architectural design intent (form, space, circulation, materiality, and experiential qualities of light, air, sound...).
They are all inter-related. Your design needs to show this.... Any one of these 3 can be a starting point for your development.

At this point you may have all three (in 'draft' consideration) or you may have none. You need to figure out these things as you develop your design. Keep in mind your research question/s. This is an opportunity to explore something meaningful and could help instigate an interesting / important / enjoyable thesis project. What is important for you to explore.....?

This submission requires much greater consideration of site/context and architectural program. AT3 is your opportunity to show your consideration of site and program through your design response.

# data[].attributes.body
For week 10....
Next week I would like to hear from all of you confirming your selected site, proposed program and initial design iteration. The 'iterations' that are required in AT3 are iterations of your developing design showing progress of thought and design.
They are not the random iterations generated in At1 and AT2. Think of them as 2D and 3D explorations of  your design ideas in relation site, program and space.

Reflect on your questions, the ones about the site, the ones about the concepts, the initial questions that trigger your investigation, the questions that emerge during the drawing/modelling iterations. Bring to class your questions to discuss.

Also, bring to class 2 ITERATIONS towards your schematic design. Iterations can either start from the site (form, colour palette, materials, directions, patterns, grid, natural aspects, artificial aspects, etc) or from the concept/idea you would like to investigate.

Please upload your work before class next week.

Look forward to seeing your production/ideas/doubts/drawings/models next week
