MELVERN'S E-PORTFOLIO
PROJECT 1: GEOMETRY & FORM: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES
TASK
1. Workshop-based Tutorial
Part 1
choose one (1) Ordering Principle you wish to work with from the following list:
-Axis
- Symmetry
-Hierarchy
- Datum
- Rhythm
- Repetition
Part 3
represent chosen ordering principle in a combination of two (2) or three (3) of the primary elements in Part 2 in one (1) more subsequent model.
Part 2
You will explore your chosen ordering principle in form and volume (models) via the following Primary Elements (a model for each element with the same ordering principle):
-Point
-Line
-Plane
Part 4
You will draw, render and shade four (4) tattoo stamps of your model from Part 3. The tattoo stamps drawn in scale 1:1 shall be derived and based from the following:
- horizontal section (plan)
- vertical section (section)
- side view (elevation-pick the most interesting side that demonstrates the selected Primary Element and Ordering Principle)
- top view
