DESIGN RESEARCH

MODULE A: FORM | DRAWING THROUGH RUBBING

rubbing texture: 
a mixture of tactile paving,
metal grill and tree bark

 

medium: 
charcoal

method: 

ruled lines and figure ground
 

medium: 

0.6 pen and pencil

The drawing shows dynamism and reflects the pattern of “sound waves”.

New Zealand

CONCEPTUAL FRAMING

The elements of dynamism are translated  from the drawings to the model. The specific site was chosen as its mountainous landscape most resembles the iteration. With this, humans are able to picture themselves to be at one with nature.

MODULE B: THEORY | DRAWING USING DRAWING MACHINE

The main idea of the drawing machine concept is based on frottage drawings which represents more than a layer in a drawing. The medium comprises of three marker pens of different colours.

The end result of the overlaying of both drawings is a very dynamic picture with lines intervening through the picture.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMING

The series of iteration leads to the outcome of the model which relates closely to the character of the site, as it is: 

- Intervene
- Dynamic
- Unified

The conceptual model visualises the sense of place by layering the spaces on site and determining how people respond to it.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN | CIRCUMSTANTIALITY AND EVENT SITUATION

The main idea of this design iteration technique was inspired by Ephemeral Architecture, a hyper-flexible space.

A bubble, when blown can only last for an instant. However, a beautifully patterned rainbow-coloured bubble resulting from its different sizes, and the presence of different lighting is created at every shot.

Batman Park,
Australia

CONCEPTUAL FRAMING

Ephemeral Architecture seeks to blur the boundaries between the interior and exterior climate, connecting people with the temporality of nature, and in direct response to the static conditions created by a digital world.

The conceptual model visualises a temporary space with lasting impact.
