WK3: Site Map and Pedestrian Movement



GROUP DRAWING OF SITE (GROUP 3)




Following the group task, a single group member drew the site using online materials such as google earth and maps. This was a good way to capture an accurate birds-eye view of the site.

TACE OF DRAWING IN ILLUSTRATOR


Following this, I used the drawing to make an Illustrator version. Using different colours to capture different elements of the site (trees, building, etc).

COLOURING AND MAKING PEDESTRIAN LINES IN ILLUSTRATOR

Once the outline was complete I used the information gathered at 9am of the movement of people in the area. This was done using photos, videos and note which were taken at the site.

- I made the trees semi-transparent and the building underneath has dashed hidden lines.
- The building you cant enter solid colours and adding details in the Whitehouse which was open and free to enter.
- Shadows of each map correlate to the North point and the time. (eg 9am sun comes from the East, 6pm shadows come from the West)
- Added colour swatches, North point and scale to each map to allow all the maps to have flow and match together.
FINAL GROUP SUBMISSION



Notes:
- Many people walking through to get to class from bus station
- Not many people going to Whitehouse
- Many people walking through the main pathway to get to class and grab a coffee from student accommodation, car park, bus and light rail.

CHOOSING THE COLOURS


We decided as a group that each map's colour/theme will be related to the specific time we were capturing. For me, I googled and looked on Instagram for specific colour swatches and themes which would suit a morning sky.

Colours used:
- 9am: yellow, golds, light greens (the early morning)
- 12pm: Greens (the day is alive and people are moving around)
- 3pm: Light blue (ending of the day)
- 6pm: Dark blues, yellows lines (getting cold, the sun begins to set, street lights begin to turn on)

Week 5: Paper Model

Image
ONGOING PROCESS EXPERIENCING WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES AND FOLDING TECHNIQUES I made the decision to use skills learnt from online videos and websites and played around with creating folding modelling and a couple sketch models on my room. Folding and cutting  Folding and pinching FIRST SKETCH PAPER MODEL Folding different sized elements to show depth Cutting slots and lines to add the detail of the window. When used with light can show the window's ability to capture light and display interesting patterns on the floor. Using folding elements to make spaces between the wall and the ceiling to show the space in the room Adding slots for doorways to let in light from the corridor Preliminary sketches to document the size of the room and main features of the room. FINAL PAPER MODEL After creating my first paper sketch model I decided to refine my ideas to a simple, clean model which better represents my room. I wanted...

Week 7: Refined model

Image
ONGOING PROCESS Overall I was inspired by modern, industrial-themed homes and living spaces which used simple colours and shades with a combination of natural landforms such as rock faces and trees.  Images which I used as inspiration for my designs. Week 6: TUE 24/03/2020 During this day I decided that I wanted to work with a range of different materials to show the consumer my desire of making a modern small living space with some complex details and simple details to add interesting features, textures and light sources. I began by purchases large paddle pop sticks to use as the floor. I decided to cut the ends of the sticks and laying them down on the flat surface. I decided to use packaging foam as the base as it's lightweight and stable to hold the entire model together. Week 6: WED 25/03/2020 During this day I worked on deciding which ceiling design I wanted in my final model. I wanted to create one which can direct light through its folds,...
