Conceptual Model // Exhibition

Throughout the whole term, we studied on a comprehensive project that included some drawings and collages. Some of them were drawn in AutoCAD and some of  were produced by hand-drawing. In addition to this, we were expected to produce an abstract model of the building. This conceptual model should had not a representation of the building. It had to include our interpretations that were both related with its outstanding features and certain spatial qualities.

At the very first beginning, we produced a model that was not too much abstract. Actually we made the almost same building with some few eliminations but after many critics that we get from our instructors, we constantly changed and developed our model. While we were constituting the abstract idea of the building, we studied with the plan of the building. We made a structural abstraction of the building. At the end, we produced the abstract model. In addition to these,  we made a poster that include all the drawings, expressive collage and some explanations.

First version of the model

Final version of the model

Finally, we made an exhibition that included all conceptual models and posters of each group. We created the exhibition environment on our studio floor that everyone can visit. In the exhibition, both the all posters and models look successful and well designed. So that, we had a chance to observe how much everyone produced rich and informative things.

Perspective Drawing

There are three types of perspective drawing which are, one-point, two-point and three-point perspective. It is like an illusion on 2D surface.

For this assignment, we focused much more on two point perspective and we drew our pre jury construct. In two point perspective we should consider some important techniques while we are drawing. For instance at first, we should define the horizon line, stand points and vanishing points. There are two vanishing points – right vanishing and left vanishing point – on the horizon line and horizon line represents the viewer’s eye, sight line. Besides, we have two standpoints that all the lines are sent to it from the corner of the element. Then decided on which is sent to right or left vanishing point.

Exploded Section Drawing

What is exploded section drawing?

  It was kind of axonometric drawing which shows the parts of the building in a detailed manner.

  We divided the building into three parts from the plan than we drew them with the techniques of the axonometric drawing. Then we hatched the cut parts.

Plan Drawing

What is plan drawing?

Plan drawing is an orthographic projection of a three-dimensional object, for example a building. Also we can say it is a section viewed from the top. With the help of plan drawing we can understand the space configuration within the building.

This is the plan of our research building, that I have drawn in 1/100 scale. With the help of this plan drawing I can comprehend nature of  spaces in the building.

 

First AutoCAD Trial // Elevation Drawing

What is an elevation drawing?

   An elevation is a drawing that shows the front or side of the building. With the help of the elevation drawing we can reach more information rather than the plan drawing. For instance, we can see the things that are not seen in the plan drawing.

 

 

 

We made a quick start to AutoCAD. After we learned some tools and features of the AutoCAD, we were expected to draw the Elevations’ of our research building in their original scale.

At first it was hard in terms of controlling the lines according to each other and multiple layers that are for every different part of the building, but after a while, when I started to get used to it, it was getting more manageable.

Research Project // Multi-Purpose Sports Facility in Ørestad City, Denmark

   We were assigned to prepare a presentation about an architectural project of a well-known architect. We were separated to the groups of four. Each groups have different buildings to research.

What about our project building?

  Our research building was Multi-Purpose Sports Facility in Ørestad City, Denmark, which is belong to the NORD Architects. It was designed to provide and support informal sport activities. Besides, it’s being the first public and completely accessible, sustainable building in Ørestad City.

 

 

                     

After our long and detailed researches about the building, we reached the drawings (plan, sections, elevations), diagrams, series of photographs and some additional information about the building and prepared a presentation. With the help of this, we tried to understand and discovered the spatial qualities of the building.
