OBDF 210A _ 01: Castle


Assignment: Castle 

Assigned: Tuesday, September 10

Due: Tuesday, September 17, class start

 


01 BEGINNINGS

I had wanted my castle to be built so that I could later print it in clay. But I couldn't remember all the parameters and considerations I needed to keep in mind in order to do so - I am a beginner with the clay printing. So I went and found some inspiration in the previous POTW, looked at some precedents of clay castles and 3D printed structures  for a spike of dopamine and moved to sketching. From there I popped into Rhino. 



02 RHINO

During the first attempt I made some overly complex shapes using some fun commands like twist and bend but lost all track of the composition of my castle. So took some sleep and got back at it the next day. Laid out some 2D spaces that I could visualize a castle or two extruding out of and started making towers. From there I tried to include the basics of a castle: a moat, windows, stairs, doors (no flag thought!). Then I got playful and added some floating things and a slide and a bridge to connect the two islands.

Assignment:  Surface Design Study  Assigned:   Tuesday ,  September 24 Due:   Monday,October 07   01 INSPIRATION I looked to architecture for pattern inspiration, in the city but also from photos from my travels.   01Sketches Using the photos as a point of departure I made some preliminary sketches.      03 Speed Dating Date 1: Offered supportive comments Date 2: Challenged me to use hexagonal to assist with scaling the pattern  Date 3: Offered stylistic feedback regarding positive and negative space. Introduced the concept of grid overlaying  Date 4:  Offered supportive comments 03 Development Spent time in Rhino playing around with layers and grid structures to assist with pattern expansion. Returned to sketching to create some illustrations that offered a person touch to the design. Did not progress much  04 Pattern  The final pattern was not as robust as I had imagined but did give me an opportunity to play w...

Here is my progress. Some challenges with shaping the floss and challenges union-ing some objects which I resolved when I remembered had to be capped.  2 Final Images I ended up missing the keyshot class and did not see any community notes will update next class.  2 Keystone Image
