ENTRY 2: WEEK 2 - 25th February 2020


ONSITE: Today onsite each group was required to find examples of a series of design elements, principles, and components that are apparently common within the Built Environment.

Below are my images captured from my designated group space.

Lines: This image portrays linear flow and distinct lines.

Shapes (geometric or organic): This image distinguishes geometric shapes.

Direction (of lines): The timber panels are horizontally organised which indirectly elongates the image. 



Size/ Scale: Size and scale are represented in the image, by comparing the size of the retaining wall to the metal window shielding as-well-as the wooden framing used. 


Texture: In this image, texture can be identified contrasting the properties of the green foliage with the metal and wooden finishes, as well as the concrete planter bed.  

Colour: Subtle use of the color orange is used in this image to contrast the harsh use of greyscale properties on the building. The use of the timber and black window shield adds to the aesthetic finish of the symmetrical design of the entire structure.

Balance: Balance is identified in this image comparing the different heights and scales of the three buildings captured in the image. Not only the sizes of the buildings are balanced, but also the materials and textures are balanced in order to make sure space flows harmoniously. 

Proximity: The steps form seamlessly to the opening of the building leading to the foyer entrance. 

Alignment: The foundation of the steps, the railings, and the textured safety tiles form seamlessly with the width of the door. 





















Repetition or pattern: The use of square pavers and the operation of the grout joints is repeated under the foyer of the building, therefore a repetitive pattern can be identified in this image. 


Contrast: The lighter concrete on the top of the building can be contrasted with the painted grey along the bottom of the building. 

Space: The opening space in the foyer area is particularly empty and serves as a point of access to the opening of the building. 





















Additionally, we were then required to find at least 20 examples of Built Environment specific words. 
 Foyer
Cantilever

Safety Element
Street Furniture
Pathway
Edges in the Landscaping
Balustrade
Way Finding (Signage)

 Lighting


 Retaining wall 
 Greenspace
Building skin 
Structural element 

     Stair Riser 

Cast Concrete 

Some swatches from the designs elements, principles and components that I found within my designated site:



 



 

IN STUDIO: I chose to communicate the information represented in the food category data set. The reason I selected this category is because I'm a foody and enjoy experiencing new cuisines. 

The three words I used to describe the data set were: 

CULINARY 


NUTRITION 




 LONGEVITY 


Therefore, the colours and words associated in these images indicate that the types of tones and hues I use in my infographic will range from a variation of light greens, yellows, browns and blues.

ENTRY 9: WEEK 10 - 21st April 2020 Final curated blog  submission documenting best 10 technological and model process images from week 5 onwards: ASSESSMENT 3 DELIVERABLES 100 Word Statement Lighting Influences the Perception of Space Lighting within design attributes to the way individuals perceive spaces they occupy.  Light is used to position figures within space. Architect, Etianne-Louis Boullé states,  “the art of touching with the effects of light belongs to architecture” [1]. A warm light was used in the model to portray the inviting atmosphere of the room.   Additionally, the room is intended as a functional workspace, thus the figure being the main focal point, solely to humanise the overall environment. The lighting predominantly shines upon the figure which reinstates the realistic objective of the space. The use of light in the model influenced a perception of space.   [1] Inverse Architecture n.d,...
