Design Studo 2 Project 2 - Bakery

Summary of Studying in ARCH1142

As I have taken those three workshops, I found that they are all about understanding the space in terms of architectural thinking. It mainly concentrating on the movement within a certain place by using variety media, such as computer, hand drawing and making model. Although they are using different method, they portray same thing. Just because of that, the undersatanding of architectural space has been improved comprehensively.

ARCH1142 Fluid

Different to any of them before, the workshop of fluid thoughts to action is more focusing on hand drawing, comparing to the computer skill and model making. Also, this is the one that I learn a lot more, because I never use charcoal and brush as the media to portray the image. It is different on the way we drawing a picture. Compare to the traditional way of drawing which draws the line, shape clearly. It's more about thinking through the brightness of tone for different parts of the picture. So that the actual line would be shaped in this way rather than a dark line weight. On the other hand, this drawing method also helps presenting the movement within the architectural space by drawing the tones or combining different media.

ARCH1142 Architecture in Motion

This workshop takes Red Centre as the case study, aiming to create a short animation to present how architecture is actually moving within its space in terms of colour, tone, shape and changes. It aims to describe a short story to illustrate the movement within the certain space. By taking this workshop, it actually improves the sense of a space. Compare to making concept model, this theme is shown by making the animation. Different media, but same thinking.

ARCH1142 Colour Workshop

This workshop improves my knowledge of colour. It shows how does the colour move through the tone by manipulating the images in computer. It also gains the skills of computer software, for example, photoshop and indesign and so on. According to the architectural view, it coroperates the really building and architectural thinking together by producing a concept model. The whole process is mainly focusing on feeling architectural atmosphere.
