My Bench- The Torrent

This is my bench that I created through a found object. I used the elements and principles that were in the found object and put them into my bench. More about this process can be found in the labels 197SP11 and the title is Design Process of Torrent Bench.

Space for my "Torrent" Bench

This space was made specifically for my bench that I created. I kept my space all white and decided to add color because I wanted to show the form and shapes of the structures. I pictured these structures, walk-ways, and bench all in a botanical garden and also pictured the structures being made out of ashlar. I chose ashlar because I think it would go great with the materials of my bench.

Point, Line, Plane Progression

 

This is yet another project in my Spring ID 102 class and only parts of the project are shown above. This project has numerous steps to it. The first step which is not shown above was that the students were given 9 different words (examples: centered, stretched, tension, dynamic, etc.). With each of those words we were given 9 boxes and we had to place a single point in the box to describe each of the 9 words. From there, with the 9 dots we had created from the words we had to add only 4 lines to the single dot to enchance the words. We then had to pick our two favorite words that we thought we're showed through the point and lines the best and those two had to be volumized. We created numerous study models to once again try and enhance the words we picked. In the pictures above you can see from the left side those were the two that I had chosen to put on my final, the words are equilibrium and static. Then those two were combined using the elements and principles that the possesed into another model that is referred to as the addition model. From the addition model we created a subtraction model where we had the same layout as the addition model but we made it as if something had went it to it and sliced out a particular chunk. For my subtraction model I tried to make it as if a triangle had come by and cut up from bottom to top. Our fifth model, which is referred to as manipulation, was created through adding color. Then the last model created, serial planes, was to create the subtraction model into only serial planes going in one direction.

Wall Project

This is another project in my studio class that was to create a wall. Each picture starting from the top is the process I took to get to the bottom picture, my wall. The whole point of the assignment was to create a wall that had different elements and principles of design. Mine was the basis of gradation. It's hard to see from the bottom picture but close up and in person the circular balls are going at a gradation from up to down and back to front. Also each way you flip the wall you have a different view and look of the wall.

Gradation

These are a few pictures of my first project in interior design 102 class. The point of this project was to show gradation through some type of design.
