PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Since the beginning of my teaching career in Korea, I have always wished that I had a book such as this one. This wish may have originated from my 6th grade teacher, who made a graduation workbook containing students’ writings, drawings, and photographs. After my graduation and before my undergraduate years, I was able to see my growth in ways of thinking and understanding as a result of reading the book. With my colleagues, I made a school book including all the graduate projects completed at Hanyang University in 2006. By reading the book, I had been able to cheer up and reenergize myself whenever I was exhausted and burnt out in practice. With these memories, it has been four years since I made the course books for the subjects I taught.

During the process of creating this book, I learned something that I had never known before. I am gradually improving my skills as an instructor, learning what I have missed as an instructor, what I should remember when teaching next semester, which assignments to emphasize more, and what to emphasize less. Seeing the efforts and thoughts of the students that I had not yet discovered, I smiled at them and regretted that I had not been able to encourage them more.

After receiving this book, each recipient may have a different reaction to it. In the past four years, it has been observed that it serves as a tangible teaching portfolio for instructors, a data bank for students in the event of unexpected laptop failures, and an educational experience that motivates students to create their own portfolios. What will be your reaction when you receive this book? In the future, when you are about to graduate, what will you think after reading this book? In keeping with this thought, I completed the process of making the book.

In my opinion, the curriculum in the first two years is typically more focused on visualizing ideas by converting them into visualized outputs that can be shared with others. In the second half, the focus is more on materialization aligned with the realities, such as building codes, social issues, etc. It is my hope that you will be able to improve your ability to visualize and sense scale before the second half.

As a final note, I would like to thank you for all the time I spent with you. Despite the fact that this design studio with you has ended, please feel free to contact me at any time. I will be glad to respond to your contact. It has been a pleasure having you with me this semester.

I congratulate them on their successful completion.

Genevieve Portfolio

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- I learned how walls, columns, and space can affect your emotions based on the type of walls, their sequence and their placement.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- I learned that it is important to practice drawing what you see versus what you think you see, learned how to draw in 2-point perspective, and learned how color can affect emotions.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- I learned that there is more than what meets the eye about paintings, especially abstract ones.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- I learned that iteration plays a critical role into a successful model, and failure can lead to accomplishment.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- I learned how to use AI in an acceptable manner so as to not diminish the human experience and creativity.

Overall

- I learned the basics of design school and how to think more about the placement and meanings behind everyday objects. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell her that no matter what you think you are getting into, you have no idea what’s coming. Everyone is creative in their own way, and comparison is normal in the process, but don’t put yourself down just because someone has a different idea to yours because someone could be thinking the exact same thing.

Category #1: Facing surface

In these 10 pictures, the wall gradually changes in angle until it completely faces the human figure at 90 degrees. With the changing angles of the wall, the human figure becomes obstructed the larger the angle gets. From 0 to 20 degrees, the human is barely obstructed of its view which made me feel more free and happier, but as the wall gets closer to 30 and 40 degrees, I feel more uncomfortable because of the odd angles the walls are in, while 50 to 90 degrees makes the human figure look trapped behind the wall.

Category #2: Facing edge

In these 10 pictures, the angle the edge of the wall progressively changes until the wall edge is directly in front of the human figure. From 0 to 20 degrees I feel uncomfortable because of the harshness of the walls edge in the face of the human figure, from 30 to 50 degrees I feel more fearful because of the odd angle that the wall is positioned in, and from 60 to 90 degrees I feel happy because of the openness beyond the wall.

Category #3: Blocking wall

These 11 photos depict the wall at different distances that either create an open or blocked space. In the first four images, the wall is further away from the human figure, allowing the human figure to have an open path while the other seven images depict the wall blocking the human figure from any open plains. The first four images feels more welcoming and inviting because I feel like the figure has more freedom and isn’t restricted by any boundaries, but the first three blocked images feels trapped because it feels as though the wall is trying to block the human figure but isn’t succeeding, while the last three images feel sad and lonely because the human figure is completely blocked.

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

In these 5 photos, the wall differs in distance to create the illusion of the human figure walking passed a wall. The wall gradually gets closer to the camera while it gets farther and farther away from the human figure. These 5 photos make me feel kind of aggravated because the closer the wall gets to the human figure the more of an obstacle the walls become.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

In these 5 photos, the edge of the wall faces the human figure at different distances that eventually end up in front of the figure. It gradually tightens the open space available to the human figure until the figure is directly placed at the edge of the wall. The first three image feel very welcoming because of the amount of open space, the fourth and fifth images feel more aggressive because of how the wall not only impedes on the space but acts as a very direct obstacle that kind of challenges the human figure.

Category #6: Passing the aligned wall

These 6 images demonstrate a wall edge getting increasingly closer to the camera until the other end. Put together, the images illustrate the human figure walking towards the wall and then passing it with little obstruction. These images are inviting but also very guiding because of how the human figure still has an abundance of space available to him outside of the wall and is given the choice to walk forward with the wall.

Category #7: Walls with different heights

These 8 images show walls at different heights by feet in comparison to the human figure. With each image, the height of the wall gradually gets larger until it is taller than the figure. At first when the walls are only a few feet tall, the space feels very adventurous and playful because of how the walls feel like an obstacle that can be climbed, but as the wall gets taller it feels more serious because of how the walls begin to obstruct the figure more and more.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

These 8 images demonstrate a wall facing the human figure floating at different heights above the ground. The wall progressively gets higher and higher until it appears to be a foot above the human figure. All of these images make me feel very unsafe, scared, and trapped because having floating walls that still obstruct your path but eventually get high out of reach is kind of nerve wracking.

high floating wall

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

These 4 images demonstrate a floating wall edge getting at different distances above the human figure. As the images continue, the wall gets increasingly closer to the focal point of the image and above the figure. The first three images of the floating wall edge remind me of a flag which feels very freeing, seeing as the human figure is not obstructed by the wall, but the fourth image feels very anxious because of how the human figure is simply standing underneath a large unsupported wall.

Category #10: 8ft high floating and faced wall

These 8 images demonstrate a floating wall panel gradually getting closer to the human figure. As the walls move, the human figure gets closer to the center of the floating wall. The first three images feel isolating because it feels like the wall is leaving the figure alone while images 4 through 7 are confusing because I don’t understand the intention of the walls placement, but the eighth picture is very satisfying because of how perfectly centered the wall is in comparison to the figure.

Category #11: floating horizontal surface

These 8 images show a floating horizontal surface at different distances to the left of the human figure. After each image, the surface increasingly gets closer to the center where the human figure resides. The first two images are very eerie to me because the angles of each photograph make the floating plain look unstable and ominous and as the floating surface gets closer to the center in images 3 through 5, the object begins to look more safe like a little shelter, and the sixth through eighth images demonstrate how the figure could comfortably fit underneath the surface if need be, which is comforting to know that security is available.

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

These 12 images represent a floating horizontal surface at different heights both above and below the human figure. As each image progresses, the horizontal surface acts like more of an obstacle for the human figure as it descends. The 1ft and 2ft images make me feel whimsical because the elevated plains remind me of my childhood trampoline, the 3ft through 6ft make feel very confining and I feel almost trapped because of how it obstructs the figure from doing anything regarding the horizontal surface, the 7ft, 8ft, and -1ft through -3ft make me feel secure because the 7 and 8ft plains again act as a shelter while the -1 to -3ft plain feels like there is space for rest, and the -4ft plain is very frightening because of how deep it is.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

Through these 8 images, there are 8 different angles of a wall surface to demonstrate different inclines. With each image, the surface becomes less like a horizontal plain above the human figure and acts more like a wall to constrict the figure. The 10 to 40 degree angles of the surface make me feel secure because they remind me of one half of a house’s roof which provides shelter, the 50 and 60 degree angles are kind of frightening because of the weird and abstract uses of the surface with no clear outline of their intentions, and the 70 and 80 degree feel constricting because they are closer to a wall than the other angles.

Category #14: Inclined wall

These 6 photos demonstrate a wall at different angles that begin horizontally and end almost vertically. The inclined walls at first are a minor obstacle in comparison to the human figure but as the incline rises more, it becomes more of an obstruction. The first two images remind me of slides you would find on a playground which makes me feel happy about the fact that this human figure has a fun obstacle to accompany him while the last four images remind me of a privacy screen which makes me feel secure because it feels like the figure is protected.

Category #15: Floating wall surface facing edge with an incline

These 6 images demonstrate a floating plain gradually ascending above the human figure and becoming a wall. The first three images obstruct the human figure from being able to move freely while the last three hover over him and create additional shadows. Because the first three inclines allow him to see what is on the other side of the wall but do not allow him to pass which feels like some kind of temptation, and the last three images make me feel uncomfortable because of their placement in regard to the human figure as they are not efficient places of shelter.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

These 9 images demonstrate a wall at different inclines while the human figure is facing it. The lower inclines heavily obstruct the human figure but the larger they get, the less of an obstruction the wall becomes. The first two inclines feel like an obstacle that needs to be challenged or climbed which is more adventurous, the 30 and 40 degree inclines are ascending out of the human figures reach which is saddening as it appears as though they are abandoning him, and the 50 to 90 degree inclines remind me of looking up at a tall building in awe of its mass size.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

These 9 photos demonstrate a ramp increasing in incline with each picture. The ramp does not act as an obstacle at first but rather becomes an additional plain that the human figure has access too that loses its accessibility the larger the incline becomes. The 10 to 30 degree images feel more welcoming and inviting because of their soft incline, the 40 through 60 degree walls feels more like an obstacle that wants to be climbed, and the 70 to 90 degree walls make the ramp look so tall which feels very overwhelming with its large size.

Category: #18 One Column

These 2 images depict a column placement from two distinct angles. Between the two pictures the column appears to be the same distance from the human figure from a vertical and horizontal viewpoint. The first image feels kind of inspiring because of the placement of the column how it’s just a few inches in front of the human figure that makes it feel like something that’s worth admiring, but the second image, however, feels more standoffish because the focal point is in between the human figure and the column.

Category: #19 Two Columns

These 2 images depict two columns that are horizontally and vertically aligned in front of a human figure. Between both of these photographs, the columns change from an uneven distance from the human figure to an equal one. The first angle reminds me more of Greek and Roman architecture and the grand look of columns while the second image feels more united because of the symmetry between the two columns and the human figure being placed directly in between them.

Category: #20 Three Columns

In these 2 images there are three columns that are either aligned or sporadically displaced throughout the image. Like the previous two categories one of these images includes the aligned columns that are vertically facing the human figure which causes them to increase in distance while the other photograph lacks any sort of symmetry or pattern in relation to the human figure. The horizontal style of this photograph makes me feel confused because of the lack of reasoning behind the column’s placement because it feels as though there isn’t any intention behind them while the vertical image also reminds me of Greek and Roman architecture and the beauty in that just history.

Category: #21 Four Columns

In these 2 images, there are four columns that are evenly aligned with each other in two rows but very in width apart. In relation to the human figure the columns vary in distance because of either their narrow or wide structure. The first image makes me feel more constrained because of how narrow the columns of rows are while the wider image has a more open and inviting feeling in comparison.

Vertical
Wide
Horizontal
Narrow

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

In these 8 images the column varies in distance from the wall and the human figure. In some of the images the column acts as what appears to be some kind of additional boundary with the wall and in others it acts as an obstacle to move around. The first four images, as well as images 7 and 8, remind me of a hallway because the wall and the column seems very structured and direct about their function while images 5 and 6 feel very obstructive of the path set by the wall which feels kind of harsh or unwelcoming.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

In these 3 images there is one wall and two columns that are aligned either vertically or horizontally while the either appears through an edge or the face. Within all of the images the columns are evenly distributed around the human figure while the wall is slightly off to the side in front of the human figure. The first image where the wall edge is facing the human figure while the columns are on either side of the figure also feels structurally sound because of the hallway like feeling of it, but in the second and third images the walls and columns are placed in awkward spots which feels very confusing and creates a lack of unity because of where the wall is placed in comparison to where the columns are.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

In these 2 images there are two walls placed perpendicular to each other and two columns that are either horizontally or vertically aligned. Between these two pictures, the two human figures change in distance between the columns as they are aligned differently. In the picture where the columns are horizontal to the human figures, it feels more open and inviting but is subtly blocking out outsiders from this space because of how the columns are placed more closely to the camera, and in the second image where the columns are vertical and closer to the sidewall, the space feels more private because of the indirect boundary that is set with the two columns and their placement between the two human figures.

Condition 2: facing wall and vertically aligned columns

Condition 3: facing wall and horizontally aligned columns

Category: #25 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_01

In these 6 images the lighting is displaced to create more dimension within this space In addition to the two walls and two columns that get moved throughout each photograph. In relation to the human figure the lighting is either in front of or behind the figure while the walls remain perpendicular to each other and the columns remain vertically aligned. In the three images where the lighting comes from behind the human figure the space in front of the two walls feels more inviting however the two images where the columns are closer to the wall feel more like obstacles to get around that kind of feel awkward, but in the three images where the lighting is coming from behind the two walls, there is a more eerie feel to the space and the columns placement in my opinion goes unnoticed because of the darker vibe to this space.

Category: #26 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_02

In these 4 photographs the lighting, columns, and walls are all changing in each image. Depending on the placement of the lighting it either illuminates the human figure or cast a darker shadow while the walls and columns affect the openness of the space. In the two images where the light is coming from behind the human figure, it feels more eerie because of the shadows casted through the columns and the human figure while in the two images where the light is placed behind the walls, I believe it creates a cozier feeling with the dimness and softer shadows the space has.

Category: #27 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_03

In these 6 images the lighting and columns have the most drastic changes in the environment while the walls only make minor differences. The human figure is either illuminated or darkened while the changes in the column alignment affect the unity of the space. In the images where the light is coming from behind the human figure, the space feels brighter and more joyful. In the three images where the light is coming from in front of the two walls, it creates a more creepy and spooky feel to the environment because of the shadows, while in the other three images, the light coming from behind the walls illuminates the space very well and gives it a more welcoming feel.

Category: #28 Vertically aligned Two Walls and two Columns

In these 2 images, the walls remain perpendicularly aligned while the columns change in distance to the human figure. The columns get farther away from the human figure because of their change from vertical alignment to what appears to be a random layout. In the first image where the figure is walking in between the walls and the columns are vertically aligned, it feels very guiding and direct because of their unity, but in the image where the figure is stationed between the columns and the walls, it feels confusing because of the weird layout between the two structures, and even a little standoffish or clashing to look at because of the disconformity.

Category: #29 Space composed with 5+ columns and 2 walls

In these 7 of the space that I composed, a light is coming from the right side of the environment, the walls are place perpendicularly, and the columns are aligned on either side of the larger wall. The human figure in between the two walls adds to the unity of the aerial view of the space in that the entire environment looks conformed. The lighting coming from the right of the environment while a wall divides the space into two sections creates a contrast of light and dark between the environments, while on the lighter side, the space feels more open and appealing while the darker side is unnerving and almost confining in a way that the shadows of the wall create an additional barrier to be followed.

Category: #30 Faced wall with Connected wall

In these 17 images, the wall gradually opens up until it is eventually inverted from its original form. The human figure in the first few images is confined to the two walls but as the degree of the walls increases, is increasingly blocked outside by the walls. In the 90 to 160 degree images the space is very comforting because it is the closest we have gotten to creating a private space or room even, from 170 degrees to 220 degrees the human figure becomes trapped and isolated because of the fence-like structure that is forming, and from 230 to 270 degrees, there’s a very isolating feel to the environment because of how the human figure is casted like an outsider behind the newfound walls.

Category: #31 Aligned wall with Connected wall

In these 17 photographs, corner created by the two walls increasingly grows as the degree changes between each image. Because of this, the human figure gradually gets more space and no longer has a small confined space. In the 10 to 40 degree images the human figure feels more trapped and it looks like he is in timeout, from 50 to 110 degrees it again feels like a more comfortable environment like a room because of the now open space and privacy given by the two walls, and from 120 to 170 degrees the walls join to become one large wall, or fence if you will, and intentionally prevents the human figure from entering the other side.

Category: #32 Facing the connected edge of two walls

In these 17 images, the wall is gradually getting larger as the angle increases. The human figure becomes increasingly congested as the wall angle gets larger. From 10 to 60 degrees it feels like there are two paths that the human figure could follow which I personally enjoy the given choices, from 70 to 110 the wall becomes like a room that the human figure is not allowed in which feels like its detached from the inside of the room, and from 120 to 170 degrees the human figure is repeatedly forced into isolation from the larger angles the wall is put into.

Category: #33 Three connected walls

In these 2 pictures, the walls vary in width to affect the openness of the room while the wings allow for a more spacious feeling. The human figure either has space or is more confined depending on the narrowness or wideness of the facing wall. In the narrow image, I feel like the space is more united because the size of each wall appears to be roughly the same which I believe is pleasing to look at an seems to be a cozy space, but the wider wall feels more spacious but the openness of the room with the help of the wings feels very boring and a little isolating from the lack of any additional movement.

Category: #34 Curved wall inside

These 4 photos depict how the different lengths and heights of curved walls can affect the atmosphere. The human figure is gradually forced into boundaries as the walls get longer and taller. The 16ft wall looks very daunting in both lengths and feels kind of like a trap where you look up and don’t see an end, while the 8ft tall curves looks more inviting and softer in a way because of the lack of an overbearingly tall structure.

Category: #35 Curved wall outside

In these 8 pictures, the curved walls face outward and the human figure begins to pass them. Now that the curve faces the other direction, the wall is less obstructive towards the human figure and rather acts as an obstacle to be passed. In the images with the taller walls, it feels very intimidating with its height like its trying to prevent the human figure from entering, while the shorter walls feel more cozy because they remind me of a simple fence.

Category: #36 Curved Walls and Flat Walls

In these 5 pictures, the curved walls are on opposite the opposite side of flat walls, with both types of walls changing in directions. The human figure walks in between the two types of walls and is either passing by or walking into the curved space. In the images where the curved wall is facing outside it feels like a small hallway that opening up into a grander space which feels exciting to be moving onto something new, while the image where the wall is curved inward feels claustrophobic but the wall edge blocks the other side of the hallway which sparks the imagination into play.

Category: #37 Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls

In these 8 images, there are two parallel curved walls that get larger in length and height. The human figure is no longer obstructed but guided down the paths that are created using the parallel walls. In the images where the walls are taller, it feels more stale and lonely because of the blankness and emptiness while the 8ft tall walls feel more like a spiral path that kind of makes you dizzy.

Category: #38 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_01

In these 4 photos, the curved walls are mirrored and gradually increase in size and height. These mirrored walls are kind of like arrows that point towards the small path that they create for the human figure to follow. In the images where the walls are only 8ft tall, it feels underwhelming because they allow more light into the space, while the 16ft walls create a feeling of amusement because the figure is being forced to walk down a path with only a small sliver of light showing through which is kind of surprising and exciting.

Category: #39 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_02

In these 8 pictures, the walls appeared to be mirrored but the angle in which the human figure walks changes to create a different scene while the angle of the lighting changes. The human figure is still guided through the arrow like shape that the walls form down a lighted or dark path. The pictures in which the light comes from inside the walls, it feels more exciting because it appears like there’s something that’s going to appear from the other side, while the images where the lighting is on the outside of the walls feel kind of boring like normal ceiling lights and the path feels less exciting and more welcoming because of the blandness.

Category: #40 One curved wall and one column

In these two images, a column is added and changes placements with the curved wall in the pictures. The human figure is either walking passed a wall while the column acts as an indirect hallway lining, or the human figure is guided down a curved walkway as the column influences walking down the curve instead of straight. I like the image with the wall on the left side guiding the human figure in a curve because it feels more fun and immersive as you walk in a curve and interact with the architecture, while the image with the column on the left kind of narrows down your path a little with the walkway being slightly obstructed by the curve.

Category: #41 One curved wall and two columns

In these 3 pictures, there are two columns that are horizontally placed in front of an outward facing curve that we see from different perspectives. The human figure in two of these is obstructed while the other acts as an imagined hallway with the columns indirectly guiding the figure. I hate the first two images, the columns act like obstacles and in the second one a second human figure is present to demonstrate how terrible and inefficient the design of the columns are, but the third image is more inviting because the columns guide the human figure towards the other side of the curved wall.

Category: #42 Role of a column between Curved and flat walls

In these 4 pictures, the use of flat walls, curved walls, and columns are all interchanged throughout each picture. The human figure is being guided into a pathway either directly through the curved walls or indirectly with the column’s placement. In the two images where the column is closest to the wall aggravates me because the column looks like it serves no purpose other than to act as an obstacle, while the other two images feel more welcoming and inviting because the column is at least a nice decorative touch.

Category: #43 Curved connection

In these 4 images, the walls gradually become more open as the angle gets larger. The human figure becomes increasingly less obstructed because of how the walls are opening up. The 60 and 90 degree images feel cozy because they’re at considerably normal angles for a room to be in, so it’s not too claustrophobic but it’s just obstructive enough to feel like a cozy corner, while the 120 and 150 degree angles feel more rigid because the wall isn’t completely straight which makes me feel kind of productive because the walls are direct and to the point.

Category: #44 Curved wall and S-curve wall

These 4 images include different height walls in an s-curve with lighting either inside or outside of the wall. The shadows illuminate either the paths made by the curved walls or illuminate the path opening for the human figure to follow. The images where the light is coming from the inside of the walls feels very ominous but intriguing because of the uncertainty of what is behind the s-curved walls, while in the images where the light comes from outside the feel bland and boring because of the lack of excitement that the light from inside the walls provides.

Category: #45 1 point perspective pictures: Void on the upside

These 4 images depict the change of void in shape and size used in the ceiling. This affects the amount lighting casted onto the space and onto the human figure that changes the feeling of openness. In the images where there are smaller shapes, the human figure appears to be put into a spotlight which creates the feeling of nervousness because of how confined the space feels and how the focus is on the human figure, compared to the larger shapes where the more light gives a grand and ballroom feel.

Category: #46 Void on the upside with columns or walls

In these 4 images, the shape of the void changes in size and changes in how the structure is held through a facing or passing wall and the use of columns. The human figure becomes obstructed when the passing and facing walls are used to hold up the larger square voids because of how much more space they take up than the columns. In the first three images, the mood feels very serene because of the amount of lighting and space that is available to the human figure, while the image with the two columns and passing wall feels more claustrophobic because of how little light is being let in through the void and the obstruction of the wall.

Category: #47 Void on the downside with columns or walls

In these images, the void is on the floor with a ceiling being held up by a passing or facing wall with lighting coming from underneath or above. The lighting affects how open the space feels and the void acts as an obstruction for the human figure to avoid. In the images where the lighting comes from beneath the void, the environment feels better illuminated because of how central it is, while in the photos where the lighting comes from outside of the space it feels kind of creepy because of how much dimmer it is.

Category: #48 Void on the upside with combinations of columns or walls

In these 10 images, there is a combination of columns, different types of walls, and void ceilings to demonstrate the changes that can be made in one environment. The human figure is either obstructed with curved walls in front of it or given more open space with simple structure holding the void ceilings. In the two image where the curved wall is directly in front of the human figure, it feels like the figure is being trapped, while in the other images with no obstructions, the lighting from the void makes the environment feel inspirational because of how the light peers into the space from the top.

Category: #49 Void between Floating Surfaces

In these 5 pictures, there are various floating surfaces at different heights with different lighting conditions. The human figure floats on one surface while another is above or beneath it. These images are very frightening to me because the shadows that are casted using the floating surfaces create a spooky ambiance, as well as the illusion of the lack of structure for these floating surfaces.

Category: #50 Void between curve-linear Surfaces

In these 3 photos, an abstract shape is used as a void with a combination of curved walls, flat walls, additional voids, lighting, and columns. The human figure on top of the platform is confined to the shape of the platform and in one instance confined by the abstract void, while the human figure beneath the platform has the obstacles to avoid but lots of space. In combination 1, the lighting from the circular void to the right makes the environment looks like it’s in the moonlight which gives a very serene feel, while combination 2 feels stale and kind of boring with the lack of dramatic lighting, and combination 3 has lots of contrast from a man underneath the spotlight to a casual gathering area on top with the difference in lighting.

Category: #51 Void with a combination of

In these 2 images, there is a combined use of walls, columns, voids, and lighting that create boundaries within the space as well as cast shadows. Because of how many types of walls are used in the images, the human figure is obstructed by 3 walls and an additional fourth facing wall within the void. These images make me feel trapped but because of the amount of movement and interest within the environment, I kind of feel adventurous and am itching to explore more of the spaces potential.

Category: #52 Curved vertical surface

In these two images, there is a curved vertical surface that gets larger in width. The human is gradually obstructed as the vertical surface width increases. These images make me feel relaxed because of the free-flowing vertical surfaces and the amount of open space that is available even outside of the obstructive surfaces.

Scene #2

Category: #53 Curved vertical surface with an upper floor

In these 5 pictures, a curved surface is evident on the upper floor of a structure. The human is obstructed by the curvature of the wall and the shortness of the platform, but also the height of the vertical surface curve that adds an additional ceiling to the platform. These images feel very calming because of the soft shape that gently hovers over the platform and the light peering in through the right side of the arch shape.

Category: #54 Curved vertical surface with a void

In these 5 pictures, there is a curved vertical abstract shape that appears in the middle of a void. The two human figures are slightly obstructed with the two sides of the curved vertical surface. These scenes have a playful energy to them because of the abstract shape used to make the curved vertical surfaces.

Category: #55 Facing Curved vertical surface

In these 2 images, there is a curved vertical surface appearing out of a small void on a facing wall. The human figure is slightly obstructed at the curved vertical surface but it could also be interpreted as a ramp to be taken through the void. These images also give me a playful vibe because they remind of a slide from a playground, but also because of the free flowing nature of the vertical curved surface and the light peering through the void.

Category: #56 Hanging curved surfaces

In these 2 images, there are hanging curved vertical surfaces that interact with lighting coming from in front of the human figure. The human figure is forced into this small pathway that occurs in between the two hanging surfaces, but is not as obstructed because of the fact that these are hanging surfaces. These images are a mix of lively and terrifying because these are hanging walls that are naturally curvy but they are also unpredictable in how they curve and hang.

Category: #57 Surfaces with convexities and concavities

In these 3 pictures, there are two vertical curved surfaces that convex and concave. The human figure is guided down the pathway that these two surfaces create and is slightly obstructed by the dramatic curvature of these surfaces. These two images make me feel peaceful because of their almost parallel formatting with one surface that is gentle while the other is more theatrical.

Category: #58 A sphere with a strong center and centripetal force

In these 5 images, there is a spherical shape that appears in the center of a platformed void. The sphere does not obstruct the human figures path but rather the void that’s present in the surface. These images make me feel adventurous and energetic because the shape of the sphere feels dynamic in comparison to the structure.

Category: #59 Surfaces that are twisted and free

In these 4 images, there is a twisted structure surrounded by 4 differently heighted curved walls. The four passing curved walls guide the human figure towards the twisted surface that acts as an obstacle for the human figure to pass. These images make me feel like lost because the twisted surface feels like a puzzle or an obstacle to be solved while the walls trap the human figure in the space.

Portfolio

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- Project one taught me how the mood of a room changes with the rearrangement of walls, columns, and space. This prokect helped me focus on envoking emotion through a space I made and to be more attentive on how a space feels. Especially when these elements are implemented in real life.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- Hand drawing taught me patience and attention to detail due to the concentration needed when drawing or using my hands to put projects together.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- Observing a painting for a rigorous amount of time taught me how one’s perceptions can change over an extent of time. This excercise requires a strong time to be able to focus for a long extent of time but the result was the ability to truly understand the art piece to a deeper level.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- A continuation of “Wall, Column, and Space”, this project continued to focus on envoking emotion in a space but aswell as proritizing teaching me to able to support my ideas throught models.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- I learned new software and digital techniques that will continue to help me in my career.

Overall

- Creating my portfolio allowed for reflection on the projects I made through out the semester and I am able to say I not only learned some fundemental design elements but I learned I am capable of more than I thought coming in 5 weeks ago.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell myself that this is not 5 weeks of perfectionalism and to embrace new ideas. Embrace messes and mistakes. I would add to ask for help and bounce ideas off others.

Category #1: Facing surface

Paragraph: These ten images of the wall shifting angles, while the human figure stays in relatively the same area, show the wall change affecting the figure. As the wall takes on different angles it almost seems the figure changes height while staying the same area. As I moved the angles of the wall it changed the perspective, for example, as I started with smaller angles (0-20 degrees) it seemed like the only options of moving were vertical due to the narrowness the walls created. As the angles shifted to 30-60 degrees it seemed like there was minimal to no room for movement, and got more restricted as the angles reached 90 degrees. Overall, it made me feel like I was being trapped.

Category #2: Facing edge

Paragraph: The next set of images shows a wall changing angles from the left side to reveal its width towards the human figure. As the wall swings from angle to angle it gives the illusion of a door that swings open outward. When moving the walls, it gave the feeling of freedom as the wall increased to a 90 degree angle due to the openness it created.

Category #3: Blocking wall

Paragraph: These eleven photos show the wall sliding from the left to the right until the human figure is in the center. As the wall moves to the right without the position of the human figure moving makes the figure be in the center of the wall. This gave an eerie figure as the wall slowly moves to the right making it seem like it is creeping in on the human figure until it traps it when it reaches block level 7.

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

Paragraph: These next five images show how the walls’ positioning can change the perspective. When the walls come closer to the camera and the human figure makes small changes in its positioning it makes it seem as if it is going through a dark hallway. As the figure seemed to pass the wall a mysterious feeling rose within me as the figure moved further into an empty space.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

Paragraph: The following six images demonstrate how the wall changing angles and positions can change the functionality of the room. As the wall moves the closed level 5 aligning with the human figure makes the human figure have a decision on which way of way to continue. This raised the feeling of confusion as there is a choice to be made but all lead to an empty solid colored space.

Category #6: Passing the aligned wall

Paragraph: The six images show how the positioning of the walls allows for change in perspective. As the wall come closer the human figure seems to be further as it passes through. With the movement of walls it allows the figures to be given this movement without one moving them only the walls. This gives an ominous feeling because of the questions that arise, where is the figure going, why is the wall close and how the figure is given the look of walking slowly through these phases.

Passing level 1
Passing level 2

Category #7: Walls with different heights

Paragraph: Here nine photos are shown to show the importance of wall height to human scale. The figure in the images seems to change heights but in reality it is the walls. This gives a sad feeling because it looks as if a barrier is placed in front of the human figure.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

Paragraph: The eight photos show how a floating wall will change an area, especially with a human scale for reference. The height of a wall is demonstrated to show that it can also change the space. When the wall is lower it is almost the same as a non-floating wall but as it lifts it feels almost convenient due to the need to lift the head to observe it.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

Paragraph: : Only four photos are given to show the power of floating walls. They act almost as a guide for the human figure to follow. The way the human figure is position towards the floating wall has a brave feeling as it seems to the be taking the area on towards the wall

Category #10: 8ft high floating and faced wall

Paragraph: the series of floating walls continue with the next eight images. The wall slowly comes to the front of the human figure. This feels like a trap due to the wall centering in front of the human figure not allowing the forward motion.

Category #11: floating horizontal surface

Paragraph: six images are presented with a horizontal floating wall. The wall acts almost as a ceiling rather then a wall. This gives off an intimidating feeling due to the surface being slanted in a creating a pathway that seems unwelcoming.

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

Paragraph: The largest set of photos is these 12 photos that show the significance the height of the surface has on the viewer. As the surface lowers it allows the human figure look as if it had been revealed to later reveal two more figures. This has a wholesome feeling as it seems the figure is reassuring the figures to join the worlds again.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

Paragraph: The way the walls are moved in these eight photo changes the space around the human figure. When the angles change so does the space for example as it lifts above the figure the space is now narrow ad small and as it furthers away and opens out it creates more room. All together the variation of angles gives an immersive experience. This creates a welcoming feeling as the angles of the wall invite you in.

Category #14: Inclined wall

Paragraph The images show a variation of angles within a short wall. The wall changes angles to show the height of the wall and how it effects the space. It gives a sophisticated feeling to the space do mainly due to the human figure but overall because of the sharp and meaningful angles.

Category #15: Floating wall surface facing edge with an incline Paragraph: The way the floating surface is placed in these six images demonstrates the change in angles created by different lighting to the space. The surface makes the figure seem smaller. The way the angle starts to point downward makes me feel unsafe and gives the area a dangerous aura as the surface starts to steeply point down towards the human figure.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

Paragraph: This set of images how the change in the height in the wall can emphasize the figures in the area. As the angle changes it allows for more or less light. The positioning of both the wall and figure makes me feel strong as the wall gives the allusion of bearing its weight.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

Paragraph: As the wall lifts to a 90 degree angle the center of the area is emphasized. With the figure in the center it allows for focus on it. As the wall lifts it creates a feeling of solitude as the figure is now alone in the center.

Category: #18 One Column

Paragraph: The two images of the one column takes all the attention away from the environment. The human figure shows the relationship a person would have with a column. An example of this is the Marcus Aurelius Column in Rome. The environment around the column bring attention to it especially in these images with empty space. The space between one and the column allows for reflection and makes me feel respect and admiration.

Category: #19 Two Columns

Paragraph: The next two images show two aligned columns both horizontally and vertically. As the columns are shifted it gives an new perspective by changing the view points. The column act as a directive guide as it persuades the movement of the figure. This makes me feel supported as columns can act as support but also fascinated.

Category: #20 Three Columns

Paragraph: the columns in these images act as a barrier to the scene. Seeming as they push you to stay on one side. They restrict the movements of the figures and they surround the area to act as walls. The figure by itself helps represent the enclosed relationship between it and the columns. I felt forced to refrain from moving beyond the barriers.

Category: #21 Four Columns

Paragraph: These two images representing a traditional way four columns are usually aligned. They are relatively aligned to make a square like shape. This allows for the space to feel secluded and this is shown by the placing of the human figure. The space allows room for it to fit but not much more room than for the count of figures. Due to the small space it makes me feel warm and comfortable as it creates a sense of privacy.

Narrow

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

Paragraph: This set of images starts with including a wall that is changed with the different positions the column takes on. When the column changes positions it allows for different spacing between it and the wall which is show with the movement of the figure. The figure is moved to emphasize that spacing. This makes me feel confused as the column moves around it leaves me feeling lost.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

Paragraph: The wall and column surround the space, when the human figure comes into the image it is as it is hidden. The column further off out into the area still feels connected to the other column and wall. The placement of the second column being aligned draws a line that allows for it to feel included. This makes me feel protected in the space in between.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

Paragraph: A second wall is included in these images allowing for the ability to imagine a real scenario where something like this could be seen. The extra wall demonstrates the distance and separateness between the two figures. I feel tension in the space from the space between the two which is also represented within the two columns as well.

Columns aligned vertically with perpendicular walls
Condition 2: facing wall and vertically aligned columns
Columns aligned horizontally with perpendicular walls
Condition 3: facing wall and horizontally aligned columns

Category: #25 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_01

Paragraph: The lighting in the room shows how the positioning of walls can change the energy in the room based on the light that is allowed in. The figure stands in the light but is surrounded by darkness. This makes me feel scared not being able to see anything in the darkness.

Category: #26 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_02

Paragraph: The way the positions of the walls and columns make the area feel small. When the human figure is placed, it seems there is not much room to move. The ominous lighting shinning brighter from behind the wall makes me feel concerned and fearful continuing down the hall.

Category: #27 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_03

Paragraph: The space between walls allows for an opening in the area as an illusion of continuation with nothing beyond the bounds. The columns align with the walls to dramatize the space. The person is placed with the intent of going with in the gap. This makes me feel excited to see way is beyond the area.

Category: #28 Vertically aligned Two Walls and two Columns

Paragraph: The positioning of the columns makes almost a stage for the space between them. The figure is strategically placed to show this space left empty. This is similar to the Abraham Lincoln memorial or cliff top buildings that have an outdoor walking way lined with columns. This makes me feel tranquility of the possible view that may lay between the empty space.

Between columns, walking

Category: #29 Space

composed with 5+ columns and 2 walls

Paragraph: This set of images are a space that guides one through the space with no more than the two walls. With the two walls in a narrow perpendicular angle it all space for the human figure to feel welcome to make its way to the end of the hall or pathway. The single column in the end out of line with the others but still guides one to one direction without forcing it with a straight line all the way through. The columns allow for light to pass through during the duration of the day. Leaving the space behind the columns empty allows for mystery and possible use for small exhibitions. This space made me feel calm as the columns allowed the light of the environment to shift the lighting. This makes the feeling peaceful as you make you’re way through.

Category: #30 Faced wall with Connected wall

Paragraph: The right wall moves degrees to create different environments. The angles shift slowly to show the different moods within the slight change. The two figures start almost in front of one another to further away. This makes me feel intimidated due to the isolation within both of the figures, worrying me of a possible confrontation.

Category: #31 Aligned wall with Connected wall

Paragraph: The walls in these images start with an acute angle and slowly increasing the degree to a straight line. The human staying in the center shows the difference a shift a wall makes for different feelings. The feeling this gives off is curiosity due to the similarity of museum walls, as one observes they question the reasoning.

Category: #32 Facing the connected edge of two walls

Paragraph: The wall shifts allowing the wall to take dominance in the space. The human figure seems vulnerable yet gives a feeling of superiority the way the human figure remain in the same area yet the walls movement.

Category: #33 Three connected walls

Paragraph: The three connected walls in these images trap the area inside. The human figures trapped in shows in the different angles show the use of room within the walls. The left figure remains facing the one in the back even though the other turns away. This makes me feel upset because I feel the tension of a fight within the area.

Category: #34 Curved wall inside

Paragraph: The wall’s different sizes change the area on their own. They surround the human figure but alter the height and space within the curve as they change sizes. When the wall is at 8ft height I feel claustrophobic but as they change to 16ft although the walls allow for more room it seems like I’ve hit a dead end leaving me feeling lost.

Category: #35 Curved wall outside Paragraph: The curved wall stands in the space alone bringing the attention to it. As it changed heights it not only makes the human figure to look smaller but changes the situation in which the figure could be in. The smaller 8 and 16-foot walls could separate rooms, allowing the two spaces to smooth transition. The longer walls could act as walls to an area creating a room-like space to separate and distinguish purpose in an open area. As I stood in the center of the smaller walls, I felt burdened to choose which direction of the wall to follow. When the walls changed to longer walls, they seemed to be hiding something within them so I felt curious to know what was on the other side.

Category: #36 Curved Walls and Flat Walls

Paragraph: The curved wall combined with a flat one allows for a clear path, especially when the curved wall is closed but opens the space up as it goes from close to open. The figure seems to have just enough room to walk along the closed curve and is given more space as the curve opens allowing for more use of the area rather than simply a pathway. When I leisurely walk the area the smoothness of the curves create a calm sensation.

Category: #37 Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls

Paragraph: They create their own room or confined area between them with two parallel curves. When the human figure is within the wall’s curves, the space has versatile uses due to more space between the walls. When the figure stands outside the curves they seem smaller and isolate him. When I stand between the walls I imagine a gallery standing before me the environment leaves me amazed by the space and possibility of different uses. I feel alone when I stand outside the walls, like an outsider standing apart.

Category: #38 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_01

Paragraph: The curved mirror walls symmetry brings to light the path made in between. When a human figure is placed to reflect on the space it he changes height depending on the wall size. This makes the scene look bigger or smaller as well. When standing between the curves at 8ft it feels small like the walls are closing in but when they are 16ft they make me feel small and helpless as the walls tower over me.

Paragraph: Again two curved mirrored walls create an opening within but separate the space within themselves. The curves separate the space. When placing the human figure between with the choice on the path to take it shows the separation with two choices it can make. Left to choose which curve to explore I feel conflicted on which to journey to.

Category: #40 One curved wall and one column

Paragraph: The curved wall surrounds the column bringing attention to the columns presence. The human figure facing the column further shows its importance. When standing in the space I feel drawn in to the column because it is the only thing that stands in the center of the area.

Category: #41 One curved wall and two columns

Paragraph: two columns in this image stand on the outskirts of the curved wall centered between the columns. When the woman stands in the center of the curve, the curve pushes her outwards. As I stand in the woman’s position, I feel small and alone. The columns trap me in place.

Category: #42 Role of a column between Curved and flat walls

Paragraph: The columns stands near one of the curved walls but between both. They act to almost deflect walking against the wall. The human figure follows the curve and seems to stay far from the far curved wall. Standing in this space makes me feel confused of the columns as I keep bumping into them.

Category: #43 Curved connection

Paragraph: The curved walls connecting creates a boundary by coming around to enclose the space. By having the human figure stand in the same position it shows how the open curve becomes close to the human and stops the possibility of moving forward. When I stand facing the connected wall I feel as if the wall is pushing me back.

Category: #44 Curved wall and S-curve wall

Paragraph: Both the curved and S-curve walls create an opening making the space ahead of them tunnel in. When the human figure stands in the center of the frame the walls not only tunnel the attention between the walls but to him. Standing in his shoes I am pushed to the end of the tunnel. I feel drawn to follow what may lay ahead.

Category: #45 1 point perspective pictures: Void on the upside Paragraph: The handing void from above adds space as it creates the possibility of more to in the space. The man standing in the center of the void shows its solitary but with the use of lighting it helps further emphasize the loneliness. Standing alone at the bottom of the void makes me feel sorrow especially when a spotlight is placed upon me to only remind me of the lack of company. Almost feeling depleted.

Paragraph: The upside-down void creates a spotlight shadow when the light shines through. Emphasizing the shadows even more the columns elevate the void to create a more define shadow. The wall within the void expands the room and causes the viewer to undeniable acknowledge it as it draws your eyes up. The man helps show the space the combination of these create, specifically the space created by the lighting shinning through the void and the continuous space the wall makes. Placed in the room I am drawn to see where the wall leads to.

The man is placed in the center of the wall piercing through the void showing the light carrying up and lighting him up. Standing where he does the room is brightened up by the light when placed on the bottom. This makes me happy as the light always finds a place to shine through.

Category: #48 Void on the upside with combinations of columns or walls

Paragraph: Not only does having an upside down void allow the flow of light but combining it with walls and columns it helps control where specifically where it shines. The man is lit up in the center of the area due to the void and walls directing it to the center. The walls are dark but I feel warm from the light shining on me. This creates a calm space.

Paragraph: The distance between the two levels is not connected making the levels impossible to move from one to another. The man and woman help show the inability to come together. With the void behind the woman, it creates a dangerous situation. As I face away from the woman on the higher level, I feel disappointed in not being able to join her.

Category: #50 Void between curve-linear Surfaces

Paragraph: The void in the center of the space makes it almost impossible to reach the other side. The light traveling from below dramatizes the space as it lights it up to make it the main focus of the space. The human figures in the space show how the figures are blocked from the man figure by the void. This creates a negative mood. Being unable to reach the man as he leaves, makes me feel sad and defeated.

Standing where he does the room is brightened up by the light when placed on the bottom. This makes me happy as the light always finds a place to shine through.

Category: #52 Curved vertical surface

Paragraph: The curved vertical surface allows for a tunnel like dimension to the area. It allows there to be another perspective to be experienced in the room. The man shows the different angles that can be walked through. Being placed within the curved vertical surface makes me feel scare and wanting to escape the dark area and go into the lit up space on the outside.

Having the people placed in multiple possible positions allows for multiple perspectives to be seen. Being placed on the upper floor I am able to see the floor below I feel superior due to being able to look down on the people who seem to look miniature.

The vertical curved wall extends the area upward towards the void. With the human placed between both allows the eyes to focus on the void. Guided by the s-curved wall and my eyes following the vertical curve I am drawn to the square void.

Category: #55 Facing Curved vertical surface

Paragraph: The simplicity of this scene shows the connection the curved paper has with the top and floor. By adding the man facing the curve he faces this connection between surfaces. Standing in his shoes I feel the need to reach where the curve leads to. I feel alone hoping company is on the other side.

The human is placed on the wall to show the light only being absorbed from above. I feel scared in the dark when I am on top of the wall seeking light I the feeling is more emphasized with now the added fear of falling.

Category: #57 Surfaces with convexities and concavities

Paragraph: Two simple opposing curves intertwine to create a complex structure. These curves make the space feel dark and complex. Having two people face each other from the different entrance points shows how the space between them seems long due to the darkness creating the hall to look longer than it is. Standing far from the other person makes me feel a sad and unable to reach them. Which ever path we take we get lost in the tunnels.

The curve creates a path to make it roll towards me.

Category: #59 Surfaces that are twisted and free

Paragraph: This structure is constructed of many different curves and waves. The other paths the curves create, create a maze-like infrastructure. The man is placed in various spaced options, allowing for more detailed close-ups. Walking around the space I feel dizzy and the curves and twists continue. When I reach the top I feel accomplished by seeing what I have overcome.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- Throughout the process of Project 1 I learned a lot about myself within the craftmanship area. When first beginning I was not sure of how to create specifc pieces while keeping them visually aesthetic. With practice of cutting and molding I was able to make clean work. I learnd that practice and itteration is key to creating precise art.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- When entering Studio, I lacked confidence in the drawing/sketchign field. I can now confidently say that I feel much better about my skill set that I gradually created this 5 weeks. For some of us, it’s difficult to stear away from creating perfct work, and I mean slipping into a sort of abstract work. I heavily put my focus into whether or not my lines were straigt and so on and so forth. But what studio has taught me is that art is completely subjective, you have the creative freedom to illustrate your own thoughts and idea. So over the course of project 2, I began to loosen up slightly and let my mind get into a sort of flow.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- At first, I truly thought this project would lack in serving purpose toward my new skill set of interior deisgn knowledge, but sitting here today I know now that patience within art is one of the most key concepts towards understanding the meaning behind art. After visitng Crystak Bridges, I was astonished by the amount of details I had noticed after standing infront of a painting for 3 hours. With a group of people each giving individual feedback, it opens up so many new topics that reach greater than the eye can see. I have learned to enhance my time with work and delve deep into the significance of each stroke and decision made.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- The space cube drawing was by far the most strenuious yet rewarding project I completed in these 5 weeks. When first gievn the task of creating a large sequence phase, I found it somehwat easy and entertaining to have free range over my model. But as we progressesed to building smaller space cube models, I learned that I am able to convey so many new emotions and messages through my work. As I recreated each scene, my narratives or stories for each phase would be become more and more detailed.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- AI is becoming a large part of the desgn work extremely fast. When asked to take our own work and create AI images, I was hesitant to follow through. I was scared of the fact that my work would be completely construed and alrtered based off a software. But after seeign the creations I was surpised to see that although my work had been completely changed it was not negative in any sort. It opened up my eyes to the hundreds of possibilites that are to come. AI is not a danger but more of a addition to creativity.

Overall

- Overall, I had an amazing experince over these past 5 weeks. I have never in my life learned so many new skills and yet so much about myself all at the same time. This program is mentally challenging but so rewarding which continues to push me to create bigger and better projects.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before these 5 weeks, I would tell myself that It will all workout although you outcome may not be what you anticipated. Change is difficult for you in such a quick time frame but you will mold to the specificty of each task. I am extremely proud of how resilant you have become!

Category #1: Facing surface

Over the evolution of these ten images, the wall shifts increasingly toward the human figure, causing the wall to completely cover the figure from the front by the end of the evolution. As the wall shifts, the human figure is in place of fully blocking the wall. I had a chance of escaping the moving wall before it blocked me (0-20 degrees), but as it continued to close in, I began to feel entrapped/claustrophobic (30-60 degrees), and once the wall was completely in front of me (70-90 degrees), I had no other option than to stay still and in place.

Category #2: Facing edge

Over the course of these ten images, the wall shifts in a rounding manner away from the human figure, but by completion the wall stands directly to the left in line with the figure. As the wall curves outward away from the figure, it stands directly to the left in line with the figure. As the wall stood straight in front of me (0-20 degrees), I knew I had an opening to possibly slip by and move forward, and as the wall continued to move outward toward my left, I could move somewhat freely (3 left I was able to walk forward (70-90 degrees).

Category #3: Blocking wall

These 11 images illustrate the movement of the wall from its moving position onstage from left to right, where it then fully obstructs the human figure. As the wall moves, the human figure becomes fully blocked. I noticed a wall beginning to come in view (open level 1-4), but acknowledged the room left for me to escape, soon enough the wall became to block my movement even farther (block level 1-4) where now I am not able to escape or move forward since the wall has fully obstructed my view (block level 5-7).

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

These 5 images demonstrate the movement of the human figure as it passes the still wall to the left. As the human figure moves forward, the wall takes a new position behind the figure.As I began to move forward (level 1-3), I was on my way to surpassing the wall, allowing me to cease the opportunity and move fully forward and in front of the wall (level 4-6).

Category #5: Aligned Wall

5 images illustrate how the change in wall effects the view of the human figure which ends in being full frontal before the figure. As the wall shifts vertically, it blocks the human figure. As the wall began to come closer vertically (level 1-3), I still had room to swerve around the wall, but as time went on I had become blocked by the sliver of wall, leaving me in an uneasy position to maneuver (level 3-6).

Category #6: Passing the aligned wall

These 6 images depict how the movement of the human figure passing the wall changes the angle shown of the wall. As the human figure moves forward, the view of the wall changes. While approaching the wall (level 1-3), I noticed I was able to freely pass with no blockage, once I had made my way halfway past the wall to my left (level 4) I could carry on with no blockage and with little to no view of the wall furthermore (level 5-6).

Category #7: Walls with different heights

These 9 images illustrate a wall that progressively gets taller using a variety of heights, affecting the view of the human figure. As the wall heights raise, the view of the human figure becomes more obstructed. As I stood before the wall (1-5ft) I could still see clearly, but felt the urge to possibly jump over or around the wall In hopes of dodging the blocking view, but as I began the wall rose even higher, (6-8ft) leaving no choice but to stay grounded and become blocked by the wall.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

These 8 images help depict how the movement of a horizontally moving wall can change the angle in which a human figure can become unobstructed. As the wall moves upward, the human figure regains a clear view of the area in front. While standing front of the wall as it hangs merely above the ground right above my feet (1-2ft floating, I consider my options of sliding under the wall to regain a full view, but as the wall is moving consistently upward (3-5ft), I realize there is now an opportunity for me to safely move under the wall and regain my view that was once obstructed (6-8 ft).

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

These 4 images illustrate how the changes in the floating wall effect the obscured view of the human figure. As the wall moves in from the left side, the human figure has a slightly less clear view of their upper surroundings in the sky. Although the wall dangling to the left of me (level 1) did not strike an immediate threat over me, I began to feel less safe and slightly unsettled when the towering wall began to hang closer over me (level 2-3), I began to stunned to move when the cloud like object completely obstructed my area above (level 4).

Category #10: 8ft high floating and faced wall

These 8 photos illustrate the amount of coverage and movement made by the hanging wall area, resulting in a hindered area for the human figure. As the wall has movement, the human figures area becomes hindered. I began apparent of the wall when I noticed it out of the corner of my eye, creeping in steadily (level 1-3), It was in route to become much larger and I felt optimistic in the fact that I would be able to move with leisure (level 4-5), surely enough the wall did not fully obstruct my view but merely hang in front (level 5-8).

Category #11: floating horizontal surface

6 photos illustrate how the movement of the wall gradually changes while moving over the human figure, blocking the upward view of the figure. As the wall gradually moves closer, it creates a somewhat blocking view to the human figure from above. The hovering movement of the wall above me felt endangering, (level 1-3), although I still had room to escape the shadow so I tried to walk forward (level 4-5), but ended in me falling directly under the wall above me and I was no longer comfortable to move (level 6).

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

These 12 images illustrate how the movement of a floating wall moves from above to below ground affect the arear surrounding the human figure. As the floating wall moves down, it partially obstructs the view of the human figure at moments. As the floating wall came downward (8-6 ft), I felt entrapped, knowing I felt a great darkness above me which lead me to stand still as the alien like figure casted its shadow (5-1 ft) only for it to then sink into the ground, ( level-1—3 ft) creating a new fear in itself of falling through.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

8 images depict how the angle of the wall facing the human change over time, resulting in a more open space for the human figure. As the angle of the wall changes from above, the human figures space becomes less restricting. When the wall maintained a steady decline to my left (10-40 degrees), I was able to move forward with no hesitation (50-70 degrees), feeling free and breezy past the wall (80 degree).

Category #14: Inclined wall

Thes 6 images illustrate how the change of an incline of the wall can affect the space of a human figure. As the incline level of the wall increases, the human figures space become increasingly more tight and suffocating. The slightly inclined wall to the left of me originally posed little threat (level 1-2) but as the wall increases further forward (level 3-4) I began to feel claustrophobic given the lack of space, so I move forward at the last minute in angst (level 5).

Category #15: Floating wall surface facing edge with an incline 6 photos illustrate how the incline of the floating wall affects the space of the human figure but obstructing its path of movement. As the floating wall increases its incline levels, the human figure becomes more crowded within its space leading to an obstructed path of movement. With the table at my hip, I felt as though I could more forward since there was no posing threat (level 1-3), but as the wall began to hover above me as the incline increase I no longer felt comfortable to continue on as the wall was now hanging above me (level 4-6).

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

These 9 images help illustrate how the angle of the wall facing the figure increasing become more obstructive to the human figure. As the wall becomes increasingly more inclined, the human figure has nowhere left to move as it has been fully obstructed. With the wall slowly becoming more inclined (10-30 degrees), I knew I would not be able to maneuver or jump over the wall, but possibly maybe go around, but the object became intimidating and powerful as it rose above me (40-70 degrees) leaving me no choice but to stay in my position with a full-scale wall in front (80-90 degrees).

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

These 9 images illustrate how the angle of inclined ramp wall can affect the area and movement of a human figure, resulting in blockage. As the ramp slowly begins to form into a large-scale wall, the human figure is limited to options of moving up or around this obstruction. As a bridge looking ramp stood before me I knew I still could take the opportunity to cross this bridge looking object (10-20 degrees) but as the walls inclined continued (30-50 degrees) I would be in danger of moving forward, so I remained still and watched as the once bridge became a full wall completely obstructing my view (60-90 degrees).

Category: #18 One Column

Two photographs illustrate the change in angle where we see a human approaching a wall and column. First, we are able to see a human approaching between a wall and column but then as we switch the human is approaching these two objects horizontally. I feel somewhat suffocated as I approach the wall and column in a forward manner given the lack of space, but become optimistic once I am given a larger area of walking room from the second angle.

Category: #19 Two Columns

These two photographs illustrate the visual differences between columns that are horizontally placed verses vertically spaced. As the columns change from horizontal to vertical, there is an adjustment in the walking path of the human figure. In image 1 I feel a dark and ominous set of emotions since their is a dark area ahead, while in the second photo I am able to see a second column which reassures me of the darkness.

Category: #20 Three Columns

These 3 images depict a set of columns in each, while one photograph is aligned in a vertical line and the other being horizontal. As the columns change from horizontal to vertical, there is a great deal of differences in space as well as new obstacles being created for the human figure. I feel a sort of clean and organized emotion when walking through the vertical set of columns knowing the exact positions of these obstacles, while with the horizontal columns I feel scattered and overwhelmed by the somewhat random placement.

Category: #21 Four Columns

2 photographs illustrate the differences in space of the columns by varying distance. As the wide image allows room for more than one figure, the narrow photograph depicts a slim and isolated comparison with less visual space. In the wide image I feel warm and open as I am able to interact with another figure freely, while in the narrow column area I am cold and isolated with no one but myself.

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

These 6 photos illustrate one wall and one column moving from to different areas which overall allows for new sequences of the human figure. As the wall and column move the human figure adjust its position of walking but remain constant in the direction. When the column is placed farther in the distance I feel very sophisticated and orderly as I approach this door looking set up, but am underwhelmed and confused when said column is placed very closed in proximity to the wall, I’m not sure what the advantage is here.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

These 3 photographs illustrate the movement of one wall and two poles being moved horizontally and vertically. As the wall placement is adjusted the space completely changes as well as the poles altering the path of the human figure. I was pleasantly surprised with emotion in the first image with the organized structure of the vertical pose but then felt restrained or suffocated with the wall placed horizontally.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

These two images illustrate different angles of the room when columns are placed either horizontally or vertically in a room with two figures. As the columns are aligned vertically we see only a small amount of the area but when placed horizontally we are opened up to see the arial view of the surrounding image. I feel sad when the barrier of columns ids held up blocking the two sets of humans from interaction, but hopeful when they are placed horizontally allowing for opportunity.

Category: #25 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_01

These 6 images illustrate how the lighting and placement of columns can affect the impression of a room. As the human has lighting behind its figure we are able to view the area overall but when the source of light is pouring out from a smaller window there are shadows created. I feel stressed with the lighting coming from behind the figure, as though I am on stage for everyone to watch, But when the columns are placed vertically with light pouring out of a small vessel I feel hopeful and some sort of clarity.

Category: #26 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_02

These 4 images illustrate how lighting conditions affect the shadows created when moving columns and walls. As the source of light changes directions, different shadows are casted from the figure and columns. I feel haunted, as if I am in a scary house and must follow the light to view my outcome with no reassurance.

Category: #27 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_03

These 6 images show the distance of two walls and columns changing distance/position while the human figure remains still. As the lighting and placement of objects change the area becomes more or less crowded to the eye as well as allowing for new shadows. I feel either eager or relived from these images, as though I am either approaching an audition or have just completed one.

Category: #28 Vertically aligned Two Walls and two Columns

These two images depict the change in walls and columns angling towards each other while allowing for the human figure to walk in-between both. As the wall anc columen placement differ, so does the walking path of the human figure. I feel safe when walking through the columns but organized as I walk alongside them.

Category: #29 Space composed with 5+ columns and 2 walls

These 7 images show the overall surrounding od an area and illustrate the passage of a human figure navigating different areas as well as altered lighting. As the human figure makes it way through an area we discover new angles of the room and experience new sorts of shadows. I feel calm knowing the arial room of the view and clean with the sophisticated and organized layout.

Category: #30 Faced wall with Connected wall

19 images illustrate the changes of a connected wall changing angels which affects the positions of our two human figures. As the connecting wall becomes more straight the room opens up turning into a what looks like an edge of a wall. I am satisfied with the outcome of a connecting wall conforming into a new creation.

Category: #31 Aligned wall with Connected wall

These 17 images illustrate two walls that have been formed together to make a corner that continuously open up wider with greater degree values. As the degrees increase larger the potion of one human figure changes allowing for new optics to be recognized. I felt disconnected and claustrophobic when cornered to such a small degree but as those increased I began to become at ease.

Category: #32 Facing the connected edge of two walls

These 17 images illustrate two walls that have been cornered together and made into a point as it widens with degrees making the outer wall become more visual. As the degrees increase the position of the human figure remains the same but the outside walls become more clear and apparent. I feel underwhelmed and alone from these images given the lack of action or change in light.

Category: #33 Three connected walls

These 6 phots illustrate how the angle of a room’s walls can affect an area. As the walls change from narrow-facing to wide-facing, there is a shift in light as well as openness. I feel comfortable and conversational in the wide facing room, yet cold and depressed in such a rigid and narrow room.

Category: #34 Curved wall inside

These two images illustrate how the height of a curved wall have differentiating on the the area surrounding. As the height of the curved wall enlarges, the human figure changes postion and creates new shadows. When looking at these photos I feel misunderstood and small as the height changes.

Category: #37 Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls

These 8 images show different heights and views of parallel curved walls, inside and out the figure as a whole. As the human figure walks towards the light he is entering the curved walls, once inside we see another figure and the new layout with differentiating heights. I feel a sense of fear as I fist enter the room, not knowing what is behind the wall, only to find my partner which when I realize this I feel joyful and relieved.

Category: #38 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_01

These 4 images show how varying heights effect the wall space created as well as the lighting. As the wall increases in height we are able to see less light shining through and a more narrow walking path. I feel tired and restless, these images indicate an end to a long day with my figure slowly going farther away into decreasing light.

Category: #40 One curved wall and one column

These two images illustrate how lighting changes when a wall is placed behind or in front of a light source. As the human switches side of the column, the area becomes brighter and more open. These images make me feel progressive and consistent, although they are different formations of figures and walls the same message is protrayed.

Category: #41 One curved wall and two columns

These 3 images show the movement of a figure around a curved wall and two columns. As the first figure walks around and between the columns and curved wall we can see the point in which he reaches his destination. I feel a sense of love and warmth, I know there is a story between these tow figures as one seeks the other.

Category: #42 Role of a column between Curved and flat walls

These 4 images illustrate the changes of a column between curved and flat walls. As the pole changes from left and right of the figure, the shadows are altered, and with the curved walls versus flat there is a change in direction. I feel prepared and firey as I enter this room with strong intentions.

Category: #45 1 point perspective pictures: Void on the upside

These 4 images show how when a curved and s-curved wall are arranged parallel from each other a new shape is created for the path of light, as well as varying heights giving the illusion of a smaller human figure. As the light changes the shadows differ, and when height of walls are increased an enclosed hall is created. These images make me feel bipolar. Not being able to decide if I am confident or belittled.

Category: #49 Void between Floating Surfaces

These images show a curved floating wall with a void below, with human figures looking up towards the curved surface almost admiring the object. As angle changes of the objects and figures we are able to see opposing point of views. I feel admirable when viewing these images, they each give different insight from different figures.

Category: #50 Void between curve-linear Surfaces

These two images illustrate a large figure with a light source from behind which creates a morphed shadow onto the back wall, and steps leading up to said shadow. A figure sitting in a curved outlook on the wall cattycorner to stairs creates a combined shadow with the morphed shadow. As the angle taken of the image changes from an overall view to a side view, we are able to see a more vertical angle with height and dimension. I feel like I am in sort of a dream when looking at these images, the large light bulb figure makes me feel hopeful for my future.

The void creates a new layered shadow on the ground, As the light shines down, it creates a conversational piece between the two figures. I feel calm looking at this creation, as the two figures hold a conversation including the shadow being casted on the ground.

Category: #52 Curved vertical surface

These images illustrate a figure in front of a, first 2’ curved surface vertically from above then a 4’ curved surface. As the width of these curved surfaces changes we can see a difference in the appearance of the figure as well as the steepness of the walls. I feel resilient and somewhat nervous as I stand before these curved walls, considering if I will be able to take them on.

Category: #53 Curved vertical surface with an upper floor

These images depict the emotions and stages of grief as our human figures watches other figures lives from different points of views, always being blocked by some configuration of a curved surface. As the stages go on, we can see a noticeable difference in the space created between the figures. I feel a sort of melancholy and resentment when looking at the other figures who seem happy and at peace.

These images show an illustration a human figure traveling through different floors by a curved vertical surface, observing the people and things along the way. As the figure is guided through this home, we explore passing curved walls and new voids creating original shadows, leading the figure to another figure at the end. I feel curious when traveling through the home, not knowing wat may be behind each corner I turn or wall I scale.

Category: #55 Facing Curved vertical surface

2 Images illustrate a figure who is first facing a curved vertical surface on a sort of seat block with parallel curved walls on each side of him. As the figure moves from the sitting block to a standing position, the character is no longer standing in the light nor facing the curved wall. I feel anxious as I Know I need to travel up the curves surface but do not feel as though I am prepared, leading me to step away.

I feel introspective, facing my past self as I travel to see things from the opposing point of view.

Category: #57 Surfaces with convexities and concavities

These images show a human figure in front of the layering relationship between two curved convex walls, creating different light paths depending on the tightness of the circle. As we get closer to the circular convex figures, we are able to notice the depth and darkness created. These illustrations make me feel ominous, with a dark passage behind me, dwindling more and more.

I feel excluded and saddened to become less involved within the shadow.

Category: #59 Surfaces that are twisted and free

These images depict a spiritic opening of fringe with a figure sitting below and a circular hole of light shining down onto the figure. As the figure sees the light, they begin to walk over and climbing inside the light source. I feel addicted as I notice the crisp clear circle almost calling me to come inside and step away from my tapered and messy home.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- This project taught me how to manage not only time and material, but also ideas and decision making. Throughout this project, I learned how to properly execute detailed and consistent model building with high craftsmenship. In addition to the craftsmanship and skills that this project taught me, I now have a much better understanding of lighting conditions and the way that they affect a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- Hand Drawing was a seven series project including everything from blind drawing, to examining the sights outside of your window. These subsects of this project taught me all about my drawing style, and the way that I can shade, outline, and depict different real-world objects. Specifically, in the color section of this project, we were able to explore how color affects the world around us, and what we can do as designers to bend the boundaries.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- In this Project, I learned the valuable lesson of attention and patience. After watching and interacting with the same piece of artwork for three hours straight, there were many things that I learned. Generally, I learned that there are so many different reasons for an artist or designer to add something into their piece. Moving forward this observation will be helpful to be able to decifer design styles and see what they are trying to do to a space.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- Within this Space Cube project, there were many different phases and models that were made to get the idea across to the viewers. This project specifically taught us how to iterate with the same idea. Moving from orginal photography, to sequence modeling, to prototyping modeling, and then finally finishing our final model allowed for us as designers to learn how to come againt adversity. All in all, this project allowed me to learn a higher level of crafstmenship and also taught me the skills I needed to be able to design a space based off of an emotion or idea.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- In this piece of the studio course allowed us to explore the ideas and images that can be created through artificial intelligence. Through this study, we were able to see what AI can do in the design world, as well as learning how as designers we can utilize this tool to create amazing designs.

Overall

- Overall, this course taught me some amazing lessons about design education and the true hands-on approach that is needed. From the first day of studio, this course requires you to dive into your work and immediately find your personal design style. Weaving through projects day in day out aided in taking in so much information about every facet of how to start a design journey. After moving through all of these projects and having to reflect on the course, this cours taught me how to manage time, generate ideas, and materialize those ideas into something tangible.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to me before embarking on this journey, I would tell myself that you need to trust the process. Most days will seem that the work is impossible, but truly at the end of the day when all of your work is layed out in front of you, there is not a better feeling.

Category #1: Facing surface

These 10 photos communicate how when gradually angling a wall facing a human figure can slowly impede the view of the human figure. As the wall gradually moves, the view of the human figure continues to be slightly obstructed. I felt that I was able to move freely until the wall started to angularly shift and my path was gradually blocked making me feel as if I had no where else to go.

Category #2: Facing edge

These 10 photographs illustrate how a wall moves from angle to angle slowly blocking a human figure’s view. As this wall moves in an angular motion, the view of the human figure is steadily covered. I felt that I was completely able to walk forward until the wall to my left started to angle toward me, making me feel that there was no other path forward.

Category #3: Blocking wall

In these 11 photos, there is a conveyance that there is a wall gradually moving into the complete horizontal view of a human figure. When the wall moves perpendicularly to the human figure, this blocks their view. I felt that I had a complete and open view until a wall started to move from my left to my right blocking my path making me feel boxed into my one standing position.

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

These 5 photos allow the viewer to see a human figure walking past a wall to their left-hand side. As the wall moves toward the camera’s perspective, the human figure seems to move past the wall. I felt that even though there was a wall in the distance, I had enough room to move freely while walking past it.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

In these 5 photographs, there is an illustration of a wall gradually moving horizontally across a human figure’s vantage point. As the wall moves through the figure’s viewpoint, it continuously blocks the human figure’s path. I felt that I was able to walk forward without any issue, until the wall completely covered the human figure’s view and path.

Category #7: Walls with different heights

In these 8 photographs, there is a conveyance that this looming wall growing in the forefront of a human figure’s vision. As the wall enlarges upward toward the top of the frame of view, the human figure loses complete sight of his foreground. I felt that I had the ability to see above the small, short retaining wall, however, when the wall becomes too large to see over, there is a looming feeling of despair and emptiness.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

These 8 photos illustrate how a wall moves from the base of a wall up to the top of the viewing frame. As the wall moves up the wall, the human figure has a lesser view of the upper region of the wall. I felt as if the wall in front of me was mostly in view until the wall started to move into the upper region of the foreground, evoking a feeling of triumph and glory.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

These 4 photos allow the viewer to see a human figure underneath a floating wall moving through the frame from left to right. As the wall moves, the human figure loses its ability to see anything above them. I felt as if I was able to see and reach above me until the wall gradually moved into my view directly above, causing me to gain a feeling of distress and feebleness.

These 12 photos convey a point of view where a human figure is watching as a floating horizontal surface floats down toward the ground. As the surface moves down into the frame of view, the human figure can see more and more of the entire field of view. I felt a sense of urgency and openness to experience as this horizontal surface unlocked a new part of my foreground view.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

These 8 photos illustrate an angled wall moving at a continuous pace to form a human figure’s visual frame. As the wall moves throughout the human figure’s frame of view, the human figure can see more of the understory of the rest of the room. I felt a sense of relief and rejuvenation as the wall moved over me and gives me more of an open viewpoint.

Category #14: Inclined wall

These 6 photographs communicate how an angled wall moves upright at an angle against a human figure. As the wall moves angularly against the human figure, the human figure no longer has a frame of view to their left. I felt that I could move to the left until the wall started to gradually move in an angular pattern, leaving me only the right side to see and move from.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

These 9 photos allow the viewer to see a human figure with an inclined wall directly in front of them. As the wall moves upward at an angle, the human figure has more space to move freely. I felt as if the wall was impeding my space and ability to move until it started to move upwards, causing me to feel a rush of joy and awe.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

These 9 photos illustrate how an inclined ramp facing a wall can impact a human figure’s view and movement. As the ramp inclines, the human figure can no longer move forward as easily. I felt as if when the ramp inclined, there was nowhere for me to move other than to each side, giving me feelings of despair and grief.

Category: #18 One Column

In these 2 photos, a column stands in the right-side viewpoint of a human figure. As seen in the two different perspectives, the human figure is blocked on their right side by the column. I felt a sense of divinity and solitude standing in the path of this single tall column.

Category: #19 Two Columns

These 2 photos convey a human figure between two horizontally and vertically aligned columns. As you move from photo to photo, the human figure seems to have more space to move. I felt as if the columns were giving me an archway to walk through until they were on the right side, which left me with a feeling of solidarity.

Category: #20 Three Columns

These 2 photographs illustrate three columns lining the way in the forefront of a human figure. As the columns go from one vertically aligned line, to a sporadic display, the human figure gradually has a more intricate pathway. I felt as if I was being forced to walk in a straight line, whereas when the columns were in a more sporadic display, there was more room for feelings of adventure and curiosity.

Category: #21 Four Columns

These 2 photographs show the movement of four columns surrounding a human figure. As the columns move closer toward the human figure, there is limited amount of space that the human figure can maneuver. I felt that when the columns were further away, there was space for imagination and wonder, whereas when the columns closed in on me, I felt suffocated and crushed even in a wide space.

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

In these 8 photos, there is a myriad of different configurations of a column, a wall, and a human figure. As the photos progress, the human figure’s viewpoints are constantly changing. I felt that through every different positioning, there was either a feeling of liberation or entrapment with wall differing from an opened to a closed concept.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

These 3 photos depict a human figure between and adjacent to two columns as well as a wall. As the photos progress, the human figure is hit with three differing light exposures as well as movement availability. I felt as if when the wall moves that there is a complete loss of view according to where that wall Is located, this fills me with an unsettling feeling that looms into my psyche.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

These 2 photographs allow the viewer to see how human figures can interact in a space crowded with two columns and two walls. As the photos progress, the columns move from being vertically aligned to being horizontally aligned. I felt that with the vertically aligned columns there was a walkway for me perfectly laid out. Whereas with the horizontally aligned columns, there was more of a divide between the left wall and the right column, leaving me with a feeling of seclusion.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- The most important thing I learned in this section was the use of clean and exact lines along with intentional lighting. The entirety of this section it became clear that for your pictures to come out the way you want them to it is crucial that you make clean-cut lines. Using the clean-cut foam board made it easier to make. pretty pictures. It was also important to learn the aspect of lighting. As time went on, I realized the importance of using different ways of lighting, which made my work have more contrast and appear better.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- The most important tool this part of our semester has taught me is precision. In all of our drawings, it became important that with most of them, you needed to have precise measurements. Without the precise measurements, the drawings would not come out as intended, making your drawing look unrealistic. for most of the drawings implementing a ruler in your work was very important to make sure your drawings were exact.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- The most important learning device this section taught me is truly the art of patience. Patience is something that has been spoken about a lot and design school but is very hard to teach. The power of patience and something that is overlooked in most education. We were taught to be patient with our work, and we learned the positive outcomes of patience. This use of patience will be a long-term beneficial lesson that we will use.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- The most important part of this particular section was the importance of well-crafted models. Throughout the entirety of the space cube, it becomes clear that my personal work became a lot better the further into the space cube section I got. In the beginning, it was hard to understand what a clean model versus a well crafted model looked like. After getting to see the difference between a well crafted model and a sloppy model. It was evident that a well-crafted model made a huge difference. The cleaning and cutting of foam board and other materials make a model look like a child arts and crafts experiment versus a professional model.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- The first portfolio has taught me to be careful about where I save my work and to be proud of myself. One of the struggles of the first portfolio was trying to find all work. File management is talked about a lot in design, thinking that is not necessarily taught. I wish we would have learned a little bit more about where to store our files for easy access to finish with that being said taught me intentional about where I’m saving my work. The first portfolio is also made me realize that I have lots of work to be proud of and look at.

Overall

- This course has taught me the importance of time management and the basic tools I need to succeed in the interior architecture program. As everyone knows, the summer program is extremely fast-paced. This fast-paced course has really implemented good habits of time management and my work. Because everything is due so quickly, it forced me to stay focused and get things done, which is something I will be grateful for in the long run. this course is also given us all the basics for what we will need in future architecture classes.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could speak to myself before these five weeks, I would tell myself not to stress. Everyone makes it seem like the summer is borderline impossible to do but with good work ethic and time management, it is very possible. I believe that causing extra stress for myself was unnecessary to begin with. It helped me create good habits, but, most of the stress I had placed myself was unhealthy and unnecessary. Also, I would tell myself I’m about to have a lot of fun.

Category #1: Facing surface

Facing surface is a series of 10 images that show a rectangular wall being pushed from perpendicular to parallel in terms of where the human is standing. This ultimately blocks the humans path. When the wall is moved the space becomes more closed off and the humans path is obstructed. When the wall was moved from the side to right in front of me, I felt as if my path was being pushed right but I am now unsure of where to move after this wall change is complete.

Category #2: Facing edge

Facing Edge is a series of 10 images that show a rectangle being pushed from being next to the human at zero degrees to right in front of the human at 90 degrees. This shift obstructs the view of an open room when the wall is to the side of the human. The view of the human after the shift is now a room divided in 2. When I see this room before the shift, I feel comfortable to move forward into the open space. When the wall is moved into my view, I become unsure of which part of the room I should enter next.

Category #3: Blocking wall

locking Wall is a series of 1 photos that show a rectangular wall being pushed from the le of the human to right in front of them with no change in the angle. This wall change makes the wide open room completely invisible the the human when the change is complete. When look at these pictures see a wide open room that is welcoming. When the wall is being pushed it feels as if it is closing off the open room which makes me feel unwelcome to continue forward.

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

Passing the blocking wall is a group of 5 images that show half of the image being taken by a wall and a human moving past that wall. The human begins in front of the blocking wall and ends in an open space past the tall wall that’s placed at zero degrees. When I see the first image I feel like the room looking past the wall is dark and unwelcoming. I feel directed to continue on and when I do I find that past the large wall the open room is freeing.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

The aligned wall is a group of 6 images that show a wall at 90 degrees being moved to the left directly in front of the human. The human goes from being in a clear space to the right of the wall, then the wall is moved directly in front of them creating an obstruction to their path. When I view these images I feel that before the wall is moved there is a clear boundary of where to be. When the wall is moved it makes me feel like I’m not sure of where I am supposed to continue.

The human starts at the closer end of the wall and ends beyond the wall. When I see these images I feel like as I am walking by the wall there is a distinct boundary of where I am supposed to be walking. Once I have finished walking past the wall I feel a sense of accomplishment and freedom getting to then go wherever I want.

Category #7: Walls with different heights

Walls with different heights is a group of 8 different images that show a wall that is placed at zero degrees in front of the human is growing at a rate of 1’ in each picture. The human is unmoved throughout the entire series but is faced with a growing wall in front of them. When I see these images I feel a sense that I am being trapped into something. Because the wall starts out small and gets bigger it feels like the wall is closing in on me.

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

Horizontal surface with different heights is a long series of images showing a square platform moving from above the floor to underneath the floor. The square is moved from way above and in front of the human to below and still in front of the human. The added scale figure helps show how deep the platform goes into the floor. When I look at these images I want to stay away from the platform while it is above my head. Once the platform has moved below the floor I want to jump in with the other scale figure. The platform being dropped into the floor is exciting for me.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

Wall surface with an incline is a series of photographs that show a wall that is lifted off the ground to the left of the human. The wall is then tilted from 80° all the way to 10°. As the angle is being adjusted. The rectangle is being shifted from the left of the human to above their head when I look at these drawings, I originally like there is a clear space where I can stand in the room. When the wall starts to tilt and lift above my head, I feel the need to run away from it.

Category #14: Inclined wall

Inclined wall is a group of six photos that show a platform on the left of a human figure being moved to a vertical stance. The right edge of the platform does not move in the human does not move. When I stand in this room, I feel like, when the platform is down, I am able to move freely around space but when the platform is up, my path is pushed toward the right.

Floating wall surface facing edge with an incline is a series of six photographs where a floating platform is placed on the left side of a human scale figure. The floating platforms starts on the left side of the scale. Figure then slowly begins to tilt from about 0° to 80°. When the platform reaches 80° the point of the platform is right at the humans head. When I look at these photos I feel a sense of uneasiness. When the platform is lifted, it looks similar to a table so the room is comfortable at first, but when the point of the platform gets up to my head. It becomes almost monstrous.

The rectangle is directly in front of and the long ways compared to the scale figure through the series the closer edge of the rectangle lifts in intervals of 10° away from the human. When I look at this, I feel oddly closed off in the beginning, but as the platform starts to lift and move away, it gives a clear boundary of the end of the it feel safer to move around.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

Inclined ramp to facing wall is a series of nine pictures that show a platform that is long ways and pointed away from the scale figure. The scale figure does not move in this series. The platform begins lifted at a 10° angle on the side of the platform that is furthest away from the human then is lifted at 10° intervals. When I look at this, the first image makes me feel curious about what is to come if I were to move forward, but the last image gives a clear boundary and makes me feel like I should not move past the wall that has been raised.

Category: #18 One Column

One column is pair of images that display one single column. The human figure is off to the left of the column in the first image and the second image is a left side view of the first.

Category: #29 Space composed with 5+ columns and 2 walls

Space composed is a personal piece that we used to showcase one of our own designs. These pictures display 2 walls, one at zero degrees far away from the human and one at 45 degrees intersecting with the further wall. The human is placed in many different spots around the columns and at the end of the wall. When I look at these pictures the original structure makes me indecisive of whether I want to go down the structured hallway side or if I want to go in the open space. I feel like the pictures where they are in one of the spaces the design feels peaceful.

Category: #49 Void between Floating Surfaces

Void between floating surfaces is another personal development of 5 pictures. In mine I chose a couple platforms and took similar pictures at different heights. My humans are standing on the platforms on the edges. When I look at these pictures I feel excited because the platform appears to be floating which is very intriguing to me.

Category: #50 Void between curve-linear Surfaces

Void between curve linear surfaces was a personal development based on category 51. The shape in my platform was similar to the shape of a hair comb or animal. I cut out this shape and placed two humans on it. I floated this piece in the air and put one human underneath it. When I see these pictures I am very intrigued because the shape in the board is so interesting.

Madeline Johnson Portfolio

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- I learned the effects of lights within spaces and the effects of scaled objects interacting within a space.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- I learned how to draw abstractly and apply the creative way of drawing into sketches and work more efficiently in making plans.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- I learned how to study art principles and elements and how to apply them to color relationships and forms of objects within an interior space.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- I learned how to interate in order to promote craftsmanship in my model making, and how the process of model making works.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- I learned how to turn physical model spaces into AI generated images and how my intentions for the models are dispalyed in the generations.

Overall

- My section instructor Jinoh Park gave me a unique perspective in design principles and practices. Through diffreent mediums of representation like model making, image capturing, AI generation, and drawing I was alble to articulate my design intentions well and clearly.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

Category #1: Facing surface

The 10 photos show the wall on the left side of the figure gradually angling from parallel to the figure to directly in front of it. As the angle of the wall changes the shadow that the figure casts bends with whatever angle the wall is at. The emotions from this start as a feeling of certainty that the figure can move forward to losing that certainty and being defeated completely when the wall is directly blocking the figure from moving onward. 0

Category #2: Facing edge

These photos show the figure aligned to the edge of the wall at different degree angles with the figure first to the side of the walls edge to then facing it. The figures feelings started as curiosity as there’s a wall to one side of it with free space everywhere else, through the phases though the figures feelings turned into acceptance of the wall as it then ended up directly in front of the figure

Category #3: Blocking wall

These photos show a figure next to a wall and through the phases of the pictures the wall is eventually from the side of the figure to directly in front of it. The figures feelings could have went from feeling certainty and having freedom as open space is directly in front of it. Then the feeling of being restricted and hopeless when the wall eventually blocks the open space from the figure entirely.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

These photos show a figure in a set position while an aligned wall that eventually is aligned almost directly in front of the figure. The setting of these images are steady show the movement of the wall from its original starting point. The feeling from these photos remind me of stalking and being paranoid since the wall is creeping alongside the figure but doesn’t actually interact with it.

These photos show a figure passing an aligned wall. The setting of these images are steady and capture the movement of the figure passing the wall. The feeling from these photos are reassuring and stable as the wall is a steady marking in the figure’s movements. Passing

Category #7: Walls with different heights

These photos show a facing wall gradually getting larger in front of the figure. The setting and environment from the wall’s growth cuts the voided space that the figure could see in half and entirely blocking the figure’s viewpoint The feeling from this would be doubtful as the figure could first see the voided space and it’s potential, but at the last image the figure is doubting that potential with the void blocked off.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

These photos show a facing wall gradually being lifted in front of the figure. The setting and environment from the wall’s lifting opens up the voided space so the figure can be engulfed inside. The feeling from these images would be hopeful as the wall’s lifting is very tedious and gradual, but as the wall continues to go up the figure has hope that the wall will then completely out of it’s way.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

These photos show an aligned wall going from the side of the figure to directly in front of it. The setting of the wall’s movement cuts the voided space in half in front of the figure. The feeling from this movement wouldn’t be anything anxious or scared, but maybe uneasy because the aligned wall is moving at a fast rate, but not interacting with the figure to effect it negatively.

Category #10: 8ft high floating and faced wall

These photos show a facing wall going from alongside the figure to directly in front of it. The setting of the wall changes the focus of first on the figure to then on the wall’s movement. The feelings from these images would probably be annoyance as the wall is mocking the figure’s position.

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

These photos show a floating surface moving from above a figure to below it’s floor to create a void. The setting of the wall in these images changed the subjection of the figure from with the wall to being above it. The feeling through these photos is empowerment and relief as the wall ended up no longer looming over the figure.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

These photos show a wall going from being aligned alongside the figure to angling slowly to loom over the figure in the end. The setting of the wall in relationship to the figure is that while the figure is a constant the wall is warping to be above the figure. The feeling from these images is fear as the wall’s unrealistic movement would not be familiar to the figure.

Category #14: Inclined wall

Parag These photos show a wall going from being aligned alongside the figure flat to slowly angling upwards to standing alongside the figure. The setting of the wall allows its movement to match up to the figures stance at the end. The feeling from these images are acceptance and familiarity as the figure can see the wall ends up in the same normal position as it is. raph

Category #15: Floating wall surface facing edge with an incline

These photos show a wall floating alongside a figure to then eventually floating above the figure but pointing towards the figure. The setting of the wall allows the focal point to be significant on the figure as the wall goes from being alongside and blending in to then directly pointing out the figure. The feeling from these photos is the fear of being ostracized as the figure is in the direct spotlight in correlation to the wall’s final position.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

These photos show a facing fall angling upwards to create an inverted ramp facing the figure. The setting of the wall allows the figure to be the main subject in the open place rather than the wall and the figure. The feeling from these photos is empowering as the figure is exposed by the walls movement for good.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

These photos show a facing ramp angled upwards and directly in front of the figure. The setting of the ramp allows the focus to be on the figure and it’s relationship to the ramp rather than both the ramp and figure as one alongside one another. The feeling from these images are importance as the ramp angles down to the figure the figure now can have a purpose of moving along the ramp and up it.

Category: #18 One Column

These images show the perspective of a figure standing directly in front of one column. The setting of the perspective show the proximity of the column to the figure. The feeling from these photos are familiarity as the column and figure are in the same position to one another.

Category: #19 Two Columns

These images show the perspective of a figure standing directly in front of two columns. The setting of the columns in relation to the figure put the focal point as the middle being the figure. The feeling from these photos is isolation as the figure stands out from the columns,

Category: #20 Three Columns

These images show the perspective of a figure standing directly in front of three columns. The setting of the columns in relation to the figure put the focal point as the columns as well as the figure together. The feeling from these photos is unity as all four objects are similar in stature and position

Category: #21 Four Columns

These images show the perspective of a figure standing directly in between four columns. The setting of the columns in relation to the figure put the focal point on the figure. The feeling from these photos is unsettling as the figure is surrounded and outnumbered by columns

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

These photos show the perspective of a figure compared to an aligned wall. The setting of the walll and the column in the photos have movement making the figure the main focal point. The feeling from these images is unique as the figure is not one with the position and stature of the wall or column.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

Kinleigh Miller Portfolio

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- What I learned while doing the Wall, Colomn, and Space project was how to manage my time and patience. This assignment was repetitive and it felt like I was taking picture after picture and cutting constantly. I learned how to manage my time to where I wasn't staying super late to finish but I was also getting it done correctly and on time.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

- What I learned from the hand drawing projects was how to draw in a one-point perspective and also a two-point perspective. I also learned what a blind contour is and that I need to practice drawing those more. What I learned the most about the project was during the outdoor sketches. These taught me to think further than drawing what I see and to try and capture what I hear and see while also the feeling of the landscape.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- The main thing that I took from this project was patience, even though the purpose of this assignment was to learn patience. I learned how to look more in-depth at a painting and to see further than just how aesthetically pleasing it is. I now know what the design elements and principles are and how to look for them in different paintings and artworks.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- What I learned from the space cube projects was how important iteration is. While doing this many different times even though it felt repetitive, it helped me create the best and most efficient model. Doing things over and over again may not feel like you are getting very far but in reality, it really helped me see the best view of what I wanted my outcome to look like in the final model.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- What I learned during this project was how to use AI. I had never used AI prior to this assignment so it was a new experience for me and overall just cool to learn. Even though it wasn't always easy or wasn't working correctly, it still allowed me to get a feel of how it works and what it can do to create different things.

Overall

- Overall, I learned time management, patience, and many different skills. First coming into this course I was nervous about the workload or how I would be able to accomplish everything during such a small time frame. While being here I figured out that while it was time-consuming and took a lot of effort it is more than doable. Focusing on my time management is what really helped me set a pace and feel like I was able to stay on track.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to you before these five weeks I would tell myself not to stress so much about how you're going to get all my work done and that yes, it is time-consuming but it was honestly quite fun and you meet great people.

Category #1: Facing surface

Category one shows the wall moving around the human figure and blocking its view. When the wall moves completely in front of the figure it blocks its path. The wall moving affected me because I was walking in a straight path and the wall moved directly in the way.

Category #2: Facing edge

In this category the walls edge is facing the figure and shifts to be directly in front of the human figure. When the wall changes place the figure cannot continue forward. With the wall in front of the figure it cannot move forward so it will have to either step to the left or right of the wall to continue.

Category #3: Blocking wall

The pictures illustrate the wall moving from the left to be directly in the view of the figure. As the wall moves it forces the figure to change direction or turn around. I could walk forward when the wall was to the left of me but then it moved right in front of me and I felt like I had to change direction.

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

These picture show how the human figure is walking right past the blocking wall and going forward. The wall starts in front of the figure but as it moves forward the wall ends up behind the human. Since the wall did not get in my way then I felt like I could just keep walking forward.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

Category 5 shows the aligned wall gradually getting closer to the man until its right in front of him. As the wall moves closer to the figure, the path forward is blocked. I felt like now that the wall in front of me I can see both sides without having to move.

Category #6: Passing the aligned wall

In these pictures the human figure is walking past the aligned wall until he gets to the other side. The human walks forward without the wall obstructing his path. The human walked forward without any interaction but could not turn left since the wall was in the way.

Passing

Category #7: Walls with different heights

These photos illustrate the wall getting bigger until it obstructs the human figures view. As the wall gets taller the human figure is cut off. When the wall was small I felt like it wasn’t a problem but the bigger it got it just obstructed my view.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

In these pictures the floating wall starts low to the ground and progresses upward and shows what is behind. As the wall changes it allows for the figure to see what’s behind the wall. This made me feel relief because the wall was removed from the pathway and created an open space.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

Category nine shows a floating aligned wall hover closer to the figure. As the walls change the figure doesn’t. The floating wall is nerve racking because it adjusts to the top of the figures head.

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

The horizontal surface of these photos is moving downward in front of the human figure. As the surface moves it changes the view for the human. The human cannot move forward since the surface is moving so he will have to around the hole.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

As the incline adjusts it changes the perspective of the human figure. As the walls move the figure becomes obstructed. Since the surface moved up and over I had to opportunity to move in any direction.

Category #14: Inclined wall

The inclined wall gradually elevates upwards and blocks that direction for the human figure. The changes the direction in which the figure can go. When the wall stands up tall it causes me to change direction and go forward instead.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

The inclined surface gradually gets higher and higher from the human. As it gets higher it Un obstructs the figures view. When the incline is at its highest the figure has more room to move around and even walk forward.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

These photos illustrate a ramp that is inclining in front of the human. The inclining wall obstructs the huma figures view. When the wall get higher it creates a barrier so that figure cannot move forward and would have to go right or left.

Category: #18 One Column

-The two pictures from category 18 show the man walking past a column from two different angle. The view changed and gives a different perspective of the human figure. The change of perspective gives me two separate views allows me to see the area more openly.

Category: #19 Two Columns

In this category the human figure is passing two vertically aligned columns and two horizontally aligned columns. When the figure walks forward he passes between the two columns and the next picture he walks right by them. Walking between the two columns makes me feel like I’m entering a space and walking beside them makes me feel like I am walking right past the opening.

Category: #20 Three Columns

The first photo illustrates the figure walking past three vertically aligned columns and the second is walking in between them. The second photo shows the human figure intertwining in between the columns while the first one he is just walking beside them. Walking in between the columns give the sense that the figure is trapped other than walking beside the columns.

Category: #21 Four Columns

-These pictures show how the columns are wide and spread apart and how they become more narrow. The first photo the human figure has more space, while in the second he’s directly in between two columns. The wider columns give a more open space while the narrow ones make me feel scrunched together.

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

Category 22 shows a series of photos where the human figure stands in between a wall and a column. The closer the wall and column get together the figure gets closer to the wall as well. When the column is far from the wall it makes the place feel more open.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

-The first picture shows two columns and an aligned wall, while the other two have a wall facing the figure with two columns. This changed the direction in which the figure is moving. I feel like the human figure has a straight path in the first picture but it cut off and forced to change paths in the second and third.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

The two pictures show two different angles of the man standing beside the wall and columns. The perspective of the man is shifted between the two pictures. The two pictures show different views and allow more comprehension of what is happening.

Condition 1: aligned wall and vertically aligned columns
Columns aligned vertically with perpendicular walls
Condition 2: facing wall and vertically aligned columns
Columns aligned horizontally with perpendicular walls
Condition 3: facing wall and horizontally aligned columns

Category: #25 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting

These photos illustrate the difference of a man walking by walls and columns with bright light and dimmer light. The view of the human figure is obstructed because of the change in light. I feel like the room becomes smaller once the lights are changed

These photos illustrate the movement of a wall in front of the human figure. The view and human figure are not obstructed by this movement. As the wall gets bigger it opens up the space making me feel more comfortable to have room to move around.

Category: #31 Aligned wall with Connected wall

The aligned wall with the connected wall starts out with a smaller angle and slowly progresses into a bigger angle. The view of the human figure becomes wider each time the walls expand. The room feels very tight and small when the angle is smaller and gradually gets bigger as it increases.

Category: #32 Facing the connected edge of two walls

The category illustrates the two walls connected expanding wider with every picture. This changes the background of the human figure and makes the small fill up more. I feel like the walls are getting bigger when they expand outward and leave less space.

Category: #33 Three connected walls

The photos show the figure standing in a wide room with three walls and a more narrow room. The more narrow the room the closer the view of the human figure is. I feel like the wider room makes it seem like there is more space rather than the narrow room.

Category: #34 Curved wall inside

This category shows pictures of a curved wall in three different sizes. The human figure stands in front of the curved walls and doesn’t change. The bigger the wall gets the bigger the space feels. When the wall gets taller it elevates the space and also makes it feel taller.

Category: #37 Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls

-This category shows pictures of the human figure walking in between two different curved walls. The human figure is hidden when the walls are faced away but when they are opened up the figure can see the whole space. I feel like I’m walking into a tunnel since the walls are so close together and narrowed together like it’s creating a pathway.

Category: #40 One curved wall and one column

These two pictures show the figure walking in between a wall and a column. The figure is hard to find when behind the wall rather than in front. When the figure is behind the wall it feels like he is cut off from the rest of the room rather than when in front and can see the space.

Category: #41 One curved wall and two columns

This category shows the human figure walking past two columns and another figure. One of the figure’s doesn’t change while the other looks like it is walking behind the wall. The two vertically aligned columns make me feel like they are creating a pathway for the human figure to walk through.

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- I learned how to take one point perspective pictures, the importance of using the correct materials and how forms affect space. This project also taught me how to cut foam correctly.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

-This project taught me how to draw in different views, hand-eye coordination, and how to have intention behind color.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- This assignment opened my eyes to the beauty of art and art analysis. It taught me that everyone perceives things differently and we cannot always influence what others see. Overall, it taught me that patience is a powerful tool in starting the process to understand art and design.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

- From this project, I learned how to consider form and volume to maximize the space’s use. It also honed my cutting skills to the point where I can tell when to stop and what angle to position my knife to get the cleanest cut.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- This project taught me the importance of having well written and clear descriptions that accompany my work. I learned the importance of iteration and that it is okay to go back and fix previous designs to the point where I am proud of it.

Overall

- I learned many foundational concepts – such as how to draw in perspectives views, how to compose professional pin-ups, how to cut through foam cleanly and precisely, how color affects space, the importance of volume and form, and how powerful AI and other technological tools are, and will be, incorporated in design. I learned how to get in the zone and focus on the task at hand, how to manage my time, and how to ask for help when I do not fully understand a concept.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- It is ok to be creative and venture off into ideas and concepts that you have not done before. Do not play it safe. It might mean more work, but the end results will be worth it. You are going to go through some tough times mentaly and even physically; however, it looks like this is what you were supposed to do. You have made friendships, you pulled an all-nighter, and you have learned so many new things. You will get through this.

Category #1: Facing surface

Ten photographs illustrating how the angle of a wall facing a human change gradually. As the wall changes, the view of the human figure slowly gets obstructed. In the beginning, I had a clear view in front of me and mobility, however, as the wall changed angles, it ended up fully obstructing me from moving forward and seeing past the wall.

Category #2: Facing edge

Ten photographs illustrating how a the angle of a wall facing a human changes gradually. As the wall changes, the view of the human figure slowly gets obstructed. As the wall kept changing its angle, my view was slightly obstructed; however, by stepping to the side I could easily solve the problem.

Category #3: Blocking wall

Eleven photographs illustrating how a the angle of a wall facing a human changes gradually. As the wall changes, the view of the human figure slowly gets obstructed. In the beginning, I had a clear view in front of me and mobility, however, as the wall changed angles, it ended up fully blocking me from moving forward and seeing past the wall.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

Eight photographs illustrating how a wall changes positions by floating upwards in front of a human. As the wall floats up, the line of sight of the person positively correlates the wall. I feel as if the wall going up is like a curtain being opened. As if something great will appear on the other side. However, when I am faced with the steady wall, it blocks my path and the only way through is going under the wall.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

Four photographs illustrating how a floating wall changes positions to align on top of a human. As the wall changes positions horizontally, it ends up aligning parallelly to the person standing beneath the wall. As the wall changes positions and aligns itself above me, I am filled with dread as I imagine the wall falling down on me.

Twelve photographs illustrate how a piece of the floor slowly falls down and trough the floor, as well as two people position in the middle whole as the platform of the main man goes up. As the floating surface descends, the platform where the main person stand on goes up. As I see the surface come down into the floor, through the floor, and then past down the floor, I get the sense as if I were also moving up wards.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

Eight photographs illustrating how a diagonal wall moves to the left as to come to a eighty degree angle besides a human. As the wall moves to down to the left, the side view of the person is obstructed. At the beginning, when the wall is above me, Ifeel as though I can move freely; however, as the wall descends to the left, I feel as though I am being forced to look ahead and not to my left.

Category #14: Inclined wall

Six photographs illustrating how the angles of a slanted wall increase, moving and blocking the left view of a person. As the angle of the wall increases, the wall gets closer to being parallel to the person. As the wall gets closer to a ninety degree angle, the wall keeps getting closer to me. I feel as if at any moment, the wall can get pushed to far to the right and squish me.

Nine photographs illustrating the incline of a surface from the point closest to the man going upwards. As the wall goes up, the bottom if the wall is revealed and it blocks the view of the human. When the wall inclines, I fell as such it is revealing something worth seeing underneath. It does not matter that it block my view because it gave me a new one.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

Eight photographs illustrating the incline of a wall from the point farthest of the man going upwards. As the wall goes up, the persons view gets completely blocked by the wall. As the wall goes up, I am left feeling as if I am being shut out from seeing something. My view is completely blocked and I cant see much of anything because the wall is so close to me.

Category: #18 One Column

Two photographs illustrating two perspectives of a column slightly obstructs the path of a person. As the human moves forward, the column stays in place; therefore, the human must be the one to move out of the way. As I approach the column, I get feeling of sturdiness. I also like the way it allows me to go either left or right of it. It does not block my path

Category: #19 Two Columns

Two photographs illustrating how two columns aligned horizontally change into aligning vertically. As the walls change, the do not obstruct the persons view or path. As I approach the horizontally aligned columns, I feel as though I am walking through an entrance. As the move to the right and align vertically, I feel as though the space for me to walk in opened up.

Category: #20 Three Columns

Two photographs illustrating three columns and how they align vertically and then move so that they align horizontally. As the walls change, the do not obstruct the persons view or path. At first, I feel as if I can walk freely; however, as the columns move and are now aligned horizontally, a path has been created for me that I should follow.

Category: #21 Four Columns

Two pictures illustrating how four columns start off in a wide position around two people and become narrow only allowing one person to stan in between them. As the columns get wider, the amount of people decrease. I am looking at another person right in front of me as four columns start of wide around us and then start to narrow in. The I move out of frame because I am hit with a sudden burst of claustrophobia.

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

Eight photographs illustrating a sedentary wall as well as a column that moves from left to right and front and back. As the column moves, it never blocks the view path of the person; however, it does make the human move from left to right to be able to walk by. As I see the column move I am either left feeling like I could walk freely or will have to walk in the constraints the column is making.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

Three photographs illustrating the relationship between a moving wall and two columns in front of a human. As the wall and columns move, it either limits or expands the pathway of the person. In the first condition, I have one way to go. In the second and third conditions, I could either go straight or take a turn, it gives me options to chose.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

Two photographs illustrating the change of two columns while two walls stay in the same place as two people occupy space. As the columns move, they do not block the view or path of any human. As the columns change, I am left feeling as if the person behind them is in some secluded area.

Category: #25 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_01

Six photographs illustrating a change in light conditions and columns placement as two walls stay in place and a human walks by. As the light and columns change, the person is either left in the dark, or has a slightly obstructed path if they choose to turn right. As I sense the light change and am left in the dark, the space feels eerie. As the columns change positions, I might have to shimmy my way through the right side opening if I choose to go down there.

Category: #29 Space composed with 5+ columns and 2 walls

Seven photographs illustrating the relationship between two walls, five columns and a changing light configuration to how a person can navigate through them. As the light configuration changes, it correlates with the route the person will take through the space. Since the walls and columns do not move, I left with multiple different paths to navigate this space. As the light changes, I feel like it is best to follow it as no not be left in the dark.

Category: #30 Faced wall with Connected wall

Nineteen photographs illustrating how a wall starting at right angle slowly starts to get more obtuse until it reaches 270 degrees in the presence of two people. As the angle of the wall starts to get bigger, the space the two people occupy expands. As I see the angle of the wall go from ninety to 270, I am left with the feeling of being freed, as the space opens up.

Category: #31 Aligned wall with Connected wall

Seventeen photographs illustrating how a wall starting at an acute angle, facing towards two people, becomes an obtuse angle. As the angle of the wall starts to get bigger, the two people previously inside the angled walls are free. As the angle of the wall starts at ten degrees, my path is blocked and I feel extremely claustrophobic; however, as the angle widens reaching 170 degrees, the other person and I are free to go right or straight.

Category: #32 Facing the connected edge of two walls

Seventeen photographs illustrating how two walls at an acute angle, facing away from a human, open up into an obtuse angle. As the angle of the wall continue to get bigger, the wall will end up blocking the human from continuing to the right. As I see the approaching wall, starting at ten degrees and ending up at 170 degrees, to my right, it blocks my path to walk right.

Category: #33 Three connected walls

Two photographs illustrating a wide-facing wall with two wings and a couple inside, and a narrow-facing wall with two wings and a couple inside. The wings narrowing in negatively affects the space the humans have inside the walls. In the beginning, I feel open and free. As the wings start to close in, a sense of claustrophobia kicks in and I feel tight and compact with this other person in here.

Category: #34 Curved wall inside

Four photographs illustrating four curved walls in a variety of heights and lengths. As the wall the wall changes lengths, it impacts the amount of space the human has to move around inside it. As the height changes, it makes the human feel smaller. As the walls change from getting wider and taller, I either feel a bit claustrophobic when the wall is tightly curved or free to move around when it is a larger curve. Also, when the wall gets higher, I feel as though it is a true wall I can not get over.

Category: #35 Curved wall outside

Eight photographs illustrating different curved walls ranging in height as a human walks by or stands in front of. When the human is standing in front of the wall, the wall is too tall to climb over so it blocks its path; however, it can easily walk by it. As I approach these curved walls, they range from long of short curves, as well as tall or normal sized walls. They do block my path but I am easily able to walk around them.

Category: #36 Curved Walls and Flat Walls

Five photographs illustrating how a person walks by a series of closed or opened curved walls and a sedentary flat wall. Depending on whether or not the curved wall is opened or closed, the human has a better view of the person inside the curved wall as they walk parallel to the flat wall. As I approach to walk side by side with the flat wall, I must move around a curved wall. The space is narrow so I feel closed off and bound. As I continue, the wall opens up and I feel free to move round.

Category: #37 Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls

Eight photographs illustrating how a series of parallel curved wall differing in height, lighting, and whether or not the human is inside or outside the walls. As the walls change positions, the relationship between them and the human does not change because there is always a path for the human to get out of the curved walls. As I enter the curved wall from the outside, I eel as though I am entering something secret. As I am inside now, I can see another person standing here and the light is better reflected on us I feel open and round.

Category: #40 One curved wall and one column

Two photographs illustrating the relationship between a column and a curved wall. As the wall and columns change positions from closed to opened, the human is either left in the dark or has an opened space in the light. In the beginning, as I walk in the dark, I feel confined by the column and the curved wall. Later, I feel open and bright as I walk in the inside of the curved wall with the columns to my right.

Category: #41 One curved wall and two columns

Three photographs illustrating the relationship between a curved wall and two columns as they wove from around the wall to just on the left side. As the columns move, it determines how many humans are visible and the amount of space they have to walk by. Firstly, as I walk by the curved wall I have a column to my left and a person and a column to my right, I feel as though I can go straight or right.

Category: #43 Curved connection

Four photographs illustrating how the angle of a curved wall increases gradually. As the walls angle gets wider, the amount of space that is available for the human to move in increases. As I see the angle of the wall go from sixty degrees to 150, I feel open due to the amount of space that frees up.

Category: #44 Curved wall and S-curve wall

Four photographs illustrating curved walls in the shape of an “S” differing in height and length. As the wall changes in length, it makes the passage the human has to walk longer. The heigh does not negatively or positively impact the human. As I walk through the “S” shape curved walls, the longer they are, the more tired and annoyed I get to walk so much, however, the changes in height do not bother me.

Category: #45 1 point perspective pictures: Void on the upside

Four photographs illustrating a one point perspective shot of different sizes and shapes of voids as ceilings. As the void changes, it directly impacts the size and shape of the light casted on the human. As I stand beneath the voids. I am confused as to how I will get above ground again. However; the different shadows casted on me are a cool experience.

Seven photographs illustrating different perspectives of a void with columns and walls that change positions. As the walls and perspectives change it either better illustrates the human in a different position than before, or shows the human casted under the light emitted from the void. As I walk through this space, I like the light coming through the void atop.

Six photographs illustrating a void as the floor with changing walls, lighting and columns. As the walls and lighting change, it either opens up the amount of space the man can fall through the floor or illuminates the space differently. As I look down at the void on the floor, I am perplexed as to why it is there. I feel as though it could be dangerous for little kids. As well as, the wall going through the void is vexing to me.

Category: #48 Void on the upside with combinations of columns or walls

The first five photographs illustrate a circular void as a room with one curved wall, one flat wall and two columns. The varying perspective do not impact the human; however, the columns located parallel to the flat wall do limit the humans mobility. As I walk through this space, I know to steer left because I do not want to be enclosed between the columns. The next five photographs illustrate a square void as a roof with a tightly curved wall, a looser curved wall and two columns. As the perspectives change, it does not impact the human at all. As I walk through this space, I feel enclosed.

Five photographs illustrating a story of revenge by utilizing two sedentary floating surfaces and a void to cast a shadow. In this instance, the humans are the one moving and the environment stays the same. As I see that my friend sits on the edge of her roof, I feel as though I need to tell them to come down. As I get closer the, I see that their younger sibling is coming up behind them and end up pushing them of the roof while saying “Purple is better than pink”. Apparently they had gotten into an argument earlier in the day about which color is the best.

Category: #50 Void between curve-linear Surfaces

Two photographs illustrating a void between a curved and linear surface with different perspectives. The different perspectives change the positioning of the human figures. As I start out on top of the void, I can not entirely distinguish the shape. Besides that, I do not like heights so I go under the void and keep an eye on the other humans to make sure they do not fall through.

As the lighting changes, the human is drawn to follow it, forcing it to go on the upper surface of the void. As the light guides me to go from underneath the void to on top of it, I am hit with the feeling of sliding down the curved surface, as if it were a slide.

Category: #55 Facing Curved vertical surface

Two photographs illustrating a curved surface going through a circular void with different perspectives and lighting that changes. As the lighting changes from in front to behind the void, it does not directly impact the human. As I feel the light change positions, it makes the void feel mysterious to me.

Four photographs illustrating different hanging curved surfaces surrounding a human. As the hangings change, it limits the amount of space the human has to walk by. As I start in a tunnel, I feel safe. As I continue, I can see that there are hanging globes around me; I feel as though I am in space. Lastly, as I confront a slanted hanging cylindrical surface I feel as though I am under investigation.

Category: #57 Surfaces with convexities and concavities

Two photographs illustrating surfaces with convexities and concavities with a change in lighting. As the surfaces move, it blocks the path the human has to get through the space. As I walk by two parallelly curved surfaces, I have ample space top continue my path. However, as I turn the corner, I am met with a new curved surface. There is a small cavity in which I am supposed to continue on. I will have contort myself to be able to fit past the curved surface.

Five photographs illustrating a sphere on a cycle of going through a circular void and coming back down. As the sphere goes up and down, it blocks and frees up the space for the human to walk by. As the sphere appears whole in front of me, it blocks my path making me feel displeased. However, as it goes through the void, it frees up my space making me feel open.

Category: #59 Surfaces that are twisted and free

Three photographs illustrating twisted and free surfaces with a column. As the perspectives move, it shows the path the human takes and when its path is blocked. As I begin in front of a cave like surface, I feel enclosed, but not in a bad way. As I continue to the right, I am faced with a twisted surface that lies close to the back side if the caved like surface, leaving a tight space for me to go through. Lastly, as I make my way around the twisted surface, I encounter a column out of nowhere. It makes me confused as to why it was placed there.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

- The “Wall, Column, and Space” project taught me numerous valuable lessons. One of the most significant takeaways was the importance in any kind of work. As I worked with walls and columns, I observed how they can influence a space. It was interesting to see how a simple shift of a wall or the addition of a column could transform the entire space. This experience showed me that space plays a crucial role in design and the functionality of a given area. I gained an appreciation for how space affects a design and usability.

Project #2 “Hand Drawing”

-The “Hand Drawing” projects revealed the essential role that drawing plays in the design field. Through these projects, I discovered that sketching and drawing serve a crucial role in helping visualize and communicate ideas. Each drawing allows you to translate your thoughts into a way that others can see and understand. I had a significant improvement in my sketching skills. From the first sketch we worked on, I learned how to effectively apply my ideas to paper. This progression deepended my understanding and appreciation for the art of sketching.

Project #3 “Power of Patience”

- The “Power of Patience” project illustrated the true significance of patience and time. Over the course of this project, we dedicated three hours to carefully evaluating a single painting, discovering new elements with each observation. This excercise taught me that initial impressions often miss hidden details. In the design field, this lesson is crucial. Thorough evaluation and patience are essential for appreciating and comprehending these details, leading to more effective designs. This project taught me the value of taking the time to engage and analyze a space.

Project #4 “Space Cube”

-The “Space Cube” project was important in teaching me how to scale down a large model into a more manageable size. Through this project, I gained experience in creating floor plans, sections, elevations, and axonometric drawings. These skills are important in the design field, and learning them has given me a deeper understanding of how to represent complex spaces in a clear way.

Project #5 “First Portfolio”

- The “First Portfolio” project taught me the crucial skill of displaying my work and assignments in a professional manner. This project provided valuable insights in how to present my accomplishments and highlight the importance of a well organzied portfolio in the professional field. The process of putting together this portfolio has given me an idea of what creating presentations of work will look like in the future.

Overall

-Overall, these first five weeks of design school have been amazing and have provided me with many valuable lessons. I have gained a deep understanding of the importance of space in design, recognizing how the arrangement of walls and columns can transform an environment. Through hands-on projects, I have improved my sketching skills, learning to convey ideas visually and appreciate drawing. I have learned the necessity of taking time to truly understand and evaluate designs, reavealing hidden details that are often overlooked. I also learned the significance of scale through the “Space Cube” project, mastering the creation of floor plans, section, elevations, and axonometric drawings. Creating a portfolio, taught me how to effectively organize and present my work.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could speak to myself before starting these first five weeks, I would acknowledge the challenges ahead but emphasize their significance. I would explain that these initial weeks have been incredibly educational, teaching me crucial skills such as spatial awareness, sketching, patience, presentation, scaling, and visual communication. I would assume mysel that despite the hard work, the effort is very rewarding. The sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming difficulties makes it all worth it.

Category #1: Facing surface

-Over the span of ten photographs, it shows the process of a 90-degree angle change of the wall in comparison to the human figure. As the degree of the wall gradually moves, the human figure view becomes gradually obstructed. I was able to have a large range view of the room from 0-30 degrees until the wall obstructed my full view once it reached 90 degrees. This made me feel closed off from the room as I could not get a full picture. This created an overall uncomfortable feeling whenever the wall moved in front of me.

Category #2: Facing edge

This grouping of ten photographs emphasizes the 90-degree angle change of the wall from in front of the human figure to beside it. As the wall gradually moves, the human figures obstruction begins to decrease. In the beginning, I was unable to move forward without needing to bypass the wall. As the wall gradually moved away, I was able to continue my path with ease. This left me feeling pleased because I didn’t have to change my route.

Category #3: Blocking wall

The eleven photographs in this category illustrate the change in the placement of the wall as it moved from left to right. Once the walls finished moving, the human figure is fully obstructed. I was able to have the opportunity to move forward further into the room from position one to position four. As it moved on to position five to eight, I would need to move around the wall in order to make it through. Whenever the wall reached position nine, I felt unable to move forward which was frustrating when I couldn’t get where I needed to.

Category #4: Passing the blocking wall

The five photographs highlight the change in the placement of the human figure as it gradually moves past its obstruction. Once the human figure passes the wall, it gains a full view of the space. The wall was creating a view obstruction of the room, so I decided to move past it. As I began to move, I gained a larger view of the overall space. Whenever I reach my final point, I feel joyful now that I have a more open view of the room.

Category #5: Aligned Wall

The five photographs in this category show the gradual change of the wall as it moves left to right and splits the human figures. Once the wall moves in front of the human figure, it obstructs the view of the room giving the figures two different views of the space. I begin by enjoying having a view of the large space until the wall moves directly in front of me. This created a divide of the space where I would need to choose what space I would like to be in. This made me feel confused at times when I struggled to choose a room.

Category #6: Passing the aligned wall

Six photos show us the change of the environment as the human figure passed the wall, resulting in a more open space. As the human figure’s position changes, its obstruction begins to decrease and gradually change. I had an obstruction of the space, so I decided I wanted to pass it. As I continued walking my obstruction kept decreasing, creating a wider range of space. This made me feel happy because my decision to walk around the obstruction was the correct choice for me.

Category #7: Walls with different heights

Over the span of eight photos, the height of the wall increases, resulting in a gradual obstruction of the human figure. As the wall grows in height, the human figure’s path becomes more obstructed. In the beginning, I was able to move past the wall by climbing or stepping over it. As the wall continued to grow, I felt unable to move past the wall. I felt defeated because I needed to move through the space efficiently.

Category #8: Floating and faced Wall

Eight photos illustrate how the placement of the wall above the ground gradually changes. As the wall position changes, the human figures obstruction continues to decrease. At first, I was not able to move past the wall, but as the wall continued moving upward, I believed I would be able to crawl underneath the wall. In the end, the wall moved high enough that I was able to walk underneath the wall. I felt accomplished as I was able to move further into the room.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

The four photographs highlight the change in the environmental elements as the wall above the human figure moves from left to right. As the wall moves, it creates shadows on the left side of the space. In the beginning, I was able to see that most of the room was able to gather natural light. Once the wall moved toward the middle of the room, I was able to see it took away some of the natural light in the left side of the room. This made me feel comfortable because I had a cozy side of the room as well as a bright side.

Category #10: 8ft high floating and faced wall

The ten photos highlight how as the floating wall moves towards the center of the space the room begins to feel more closed off. As the wall shifts, the human figure’s view of the upper level of the room is blocked by the random wall. I was able to see most of the open room until the floating wall obstructed my view. This felt difficult to picture the room as open and felt more closed off.

Category #11: floating horizontal surface

Over the span of eight photos, the flat wall slab moves across the top of the human figure resulting in a dark closed off space. As the wall position changes, the human figures ceiling view becomes more obstructed which creates a darker space. As I move into the room, the view of the top of the room is open. Once the wall begins to move across, I notice that the room feels darker and not as open. I feel sad because it darkens my mood when the room is not light and airy.

Category #12: Horizontal surfaces with different heights

Within the twelve photographs of this section, the height of the horizontal surface gradually decreases. As the surface changes, the obstruction of the human figure increases. I felt like I was unable to pass through the space because of the horizontal surface being an obstruction and the hole in the floor would not allow me to pass either.

Category #13: Wall surface with an incline

Eight photographs highlight how the angles of the wall surface lifting above the human figure create a difference in lighting and openness. As the wall changes, the obstruction of the human figure shifts to a different position. I realize that the left side of me is obstructed and that I can only efficiently utilize the right side of the room. As the incline increases, the left obstruction decreases as it moves to the space above me. This makes me still feel closed off because the space only shifted and remained close to me.

Category #14: Inclined wall

The six photographs highlight how when the incline level increases, the wall takes up less space in the room. As the incline changes, the human figure becomes less obstructed. I was unable to move through the left side of the room. As the incline increases, I am able to use more of the space. This makes me feel like I am utilizing as much space as I can.

Category #15: Floating wall surface facing edge with an incline

The six photographs illustrate the environmental elements throughout the gradual change in the inclined levels. As the inclined wall changes, the obstruction of the human figure decreases and the shadows in the room change. At the beginning inclined level, I was unable to move through the left side of the room and the shadows were harsh. Once we reached incline level six, I could move in the left side of the room, and I noticed the shadows got slightly smaller. This made me feel like I could move around the way I would need to in the space.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

Over the span of nine photographs, the inclined surface inclines gradually until it reaches 90 degrees. As the wall changes, the human figures open space begins to increase. I began by not being able to move in the middle of the room, meaning I would have to move around the obstruction. As the wall inclined more, my space began to increase. This made me feel relieved because I was able to move freely.

Category: #17 Inclined ramp to facing wall

The nine photographs highlight how the angle of the inclined ramp moving toward the human figure gradually changes. The human figure becomes more obstructed once the inclined ramp reaches 90 degrees. In the beginning, from 10-30 degrees, I can walk up the ramp. As the ramp passed 30 degrees, the obstruction began to continue increasing and I felt like I could not pass anymore without having to move around it. This made me feel frustrated because it was inconvenient.

Category: #18 One Column

Two photographs show the placement of the column in comparison to the human figure from two different views. As the human figure begins to approach the column, it may need to move around the column in order to pass it. I feel that most of the time this column would not be an obstruction to me. If I were to be placed directly in front of it, I feel like I would need to move around in order to have a full view or to pass it. This makes me feel like I need to stay aware of this space so that I don’t run into the column.

Category: #19 Two Columns

The two photographs illustrate two different aspects of ways that the human figure may approach two columns in a room. As the human figure changes directions, the placement of the columns moves as to where they are placed in comparison to the figure. I feel that as I approach the columns vertically, I have a good amount of space to walk between the two columns. When I approach the columns horizontally, I feel that I need to be aware of the columns on my right side so that I don’t collide with them.

Category: #20 Three Columns

The two photographs highlight the different views that the human figure may approach the three columns. As the human figure moves through a room, the place of the columns may be an obstruction depending on where the figure is coming from. I feel that as I am approaching the columns vertically, I need to be aware of my right side, but that I can continue walking forward as if I were in a hallway. Approaching horizontally, I feel a little different because it seems that I may need to dodge the columns more. I feel that I can pass if I am placed correctly through the three columns.

Category: #21 Four Columns

The two photographs illustrate the difference in space as the columns move closer together to each other. As the columns gradually move closer together, the space around the human figure seems to decrease. I feel like when the columns are wide apart, I can easily move through the space between the columns. Whenever the columns begin to become narrower, I feel uncomfortable moving through the columns. I would decide to move around the obstruction instead.

Vertical

Horizontal
Narrow

Category: #22 One Wall and One Column

The eight photographs of category 22 show how the movement of the column affects the space in the room. As the one column moves around the room, the human figures amount of space begins to change. I feel that when the columns are directly next to the wall that it is a waste of space and that it forces me to move away from it. Whenever the column is far from the wall, I believe that I have a good amount of space to travel between the wall and column. When looking at Condition 1 and 2, I believe that the column feels a little close to the wall. Although it is passable, I would rather avoid and walk around the column instead.

Category: #23 One Wall and two Columns

Over the span of three photographs, it shows that as the wall placement changes from aligned to facing the human figure has different spaces to walk through. As the walls change position, the human figure’s path changes. In condition one, I feel that the columns lead me to my path down the wall. Condition two I feel that I must be aware of my surroundings in order to pass the obstructions. In condition three, I believe I can comfortably walk between the column and the wall without being too nervous.

Category: #24 Two Walls and two Columns

Over the span of three photographs, it shows that as the wall placement changes from aligned to facing the human figure has different spaces to walk through. As the walls change position, the human figure’s path changes. In condition one, I feel that the columns lead me to my path down the wall. Condition two I feel that I must be aware of my surroundings in order to pass the obstructions. In condition three, I believe I can comfortably walk between the column and the wall without being too nervous.

Condition 1: aligned wall and vertically aligned columns
Columns aligned vertically with perpendicular walls
Condition 2: facing wall and vertically aligned columns
Columns aligned horizontally with perpendicular walls
Condition 3: facing wall and horizontally aligned columns

Category: #25 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_01

The six photographs in category 25 highlight the differences in two lightings and how the columns move around the space. As the columns change position, the human figure can see the difference in lighting. I feel that when the light is coming in from behind me the whole space feels more open and brighter. Whenever the light is coming from behind the wall, there is only a small amount of light coming from the open space that gives most of the space and dark and shadowy space. I feel that when the columns change position, it affects the amount of light being let in.

Category: #26 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_02

The four photographs give a visual representation of the difference in space whenever the columns are aligned vertically versus when they are aligned horizontally. As the columns change position, the human figures’ space changes. I feel that when the columns are aligned vertically, I have a wide range of space to move through to make it to my destination. When the column is aligned horizontally, my space range seems to decrease because I am limited to a smaller space between the columns and the walls. This makes the space feel more limited and not as much light is let in, almost as if I were in a hallway or that I would need to dodge more obstructions.

Category: #27 Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions_03

Over the span of six photographs, it shows the gradual change of view as the human figure moves through the space vertically and horizontally. As the human figure moves, it must move past obstructions and find a more open space in the room. I feel that as I begin moving, I feel very claustrophobic as the columns and walls around me don’t give me much space to move. As I continue moving forward, I pass the obstructions which lead to an open view of the room.

Category: #28 Vertically aligned Two Walls and two Columns

The two photographs in this category show how the gradual movement of the human figure affects its view of the space. As the human figure gradually moves through the space, it passes obstructions and finds a more open view of the room. I feel that as I move forward, I may run into the column directly in front of me. This makes me feel obligated to move more to my left to avoid this collision. This leads to me passing the obstruction and finding another view of the room past the wall on my right.

Category: #29 Space composed with 5+ columns and 2 walls

Over the span of seven photographs, it shows the process of the human figure moving through many columns and passing between the two walls. As the human figure gradually moves, it must swerve the obstructions to make its way through. I feel that as I move through the space, I have many objects to look at. I feel that I need to make sure I am aware of my surroundings as I make my way through the space. I make myself aware that there are so many different objects to keep in mind, almost as if I am in a museum.

Category: #30 Faced wall with Connected wall

Within nineteen photographs it gives a representation of the wall moving a total of 180 degrees in front of the human figure. Once the wall moves to its final degree, the human figures obstructed is decreased. I feel that when the wall is places from 90 degrees to 240 degrees that I am unable to move through the space. Whenever the wall reaches 240 degrees, I feel confident that I can move past the wall and further into the space.

Category: #31 Aligned wall with Connected wall

Over the span of seventeen photographs, it shows the process of the wall moving from 10 degrees to 170 degrees. Whenever the wall reaches its final point, the human figure can move straight through the space with ease. I feel that at the beginning degree (10 degrees), I am unable to move through the space at all. I found that I feel able to move forward if I move around the obstruction from degree 130 to degree one 160. Once the wall reaches 170 degrees, I feel that I am able to move straight through the space with ease and that the obstruction is gone.

Category: #32 Facing the connected edge of two walls

The seventeen photographs picture the process of the way moving from 10 degrees to 170 degrees and how it affects the human figure. As the wall continues to move, the human figure’s view of the right side of the room becomes completely obstructed. I feel that as I begin to look at the room, I have a pretty strong view of both sides of the space. Once the wall reaches 90 degrees, my view of the right side of the room becomes almost fully blocked. Whenever the wall reaches 170 degrees, I feel that I no longer can view the right side of the room.

Category: #33 Three connected walls

The two photographs in category three show the difference in the space in comparison to the human figure whenever the walls are wide facing versus when they are narrow facing. As the wall becomes narrower, the human figures view the difference in space. I feel that whenever the walls are wide facing, it feels larger and more open. When the walls are narrow facing, the space feels smaller and more closed off to me.

Category: #34 Curved wall inside

The four photographs highlight the different perspective the curved walls give as they grow in height and width. As the wall grows, the human views the room differently. I feel that when the wall is a small curve and 8ft or 16ft, it feels tighter and claustrophobic. Whenever the wall has a large curve, that curve may be more effective and useful for a given space or room. The larger curve makes me feel that I am allowed to view more of the wall.

Category: #35 Curved wall outside

The eight photos show many different views of many different curvatures as the human figure is in front of and passes the walls. As the wall grows in height, it becomes more intimidating and “powerful” to the figure’s eye. I feel that as I approach the small 8ft wall, I only view it as a smaller obstruction. As the wall grows in height or width, I feel the curvature becomes a larger obstruction to my space.

Category: #36 Curved Walls and Flat Walls

Over the span of five photographs, it gives a visual of many different perspectives that the human figure may approach the two walls. As the human figure approaches the different configurations, the figure space and obstructions change. I feel that when I approach a wall in front of me while passing a curved wall, I begin to think that I may follow the curved wall to avoid the wall ahead. If there are walls on either side of me such as photos 2-4, then I can find a path between them as if I were in a hallway. In my own coordination, I found that I may need to avoid all walls and move around the obstructions to bypass them.

Category: #37 Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls

The eight photographs in this category show the human figure moving through growing parallel curved walls from the interior and exterior point of view. As the walls grow, the human figures lose space. I feel that whenever I move through the 8ft small, curved walls, it feels more open in comparison to the large curve with 16ft walls. Although the space is remaining the same, the taller and wider walls cut off light and close off the space. This makes the space feel small to me.

Category: #38 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_01

Four photographs give a representation of the difference in space as the curved walls grow in height and width. As the walls grow, the space becomes more closed off to the human figure. I feel that whenever I move through the small 8ft curvatures, that they feel further apart and that they wouldn’t be a difficult obstruction to move past. Whenever the wall reaches 16ft high, the space feels much more closed off and “shrinks” the space.

Category: #39 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_02

The eight photographs in this category show the human figure moving through different parallel curved walls and how light placement may affect a space. As the walls and lighting change, the human figure can see various spaces change around it. I feel that whenever the walls height is smaller, the space around me feels larger. With that being said, I feel that when the walls become larger in height, the space begins to feel smaller around me. I feel that when the lighting is pointed to the interior of the space, it brightens the whole area. Whenever the light is coming from the outside, I feel that there are spaces that are dark which may lead to discomfort.

Category: #40 One curved wall and one column

The two photographs picture the change in space when the human figure is moving between a column and curved wall inside and outside. As the human figure moves inside and outside, the openness of the room changes. As I enter the inside and outside space of the wall, I feel that I need to walk between the column and wall to avoid the obstruction. When I enter the space on the outside, I feel that I am being led to a more open space as if I am opening a door to a room. When I walk into the space on the inside, I feel that my path is more closed off and I am not as confident in finding an open space.

Category: #41 One curved wall and two columns

The two photographs show the difference in the environment as the columns and walls move in comparison to the human figure. As the walls and columns move, the human figures obstruction changes. I feel that when the horizontally aligned columns move closer to the wall, I cannot move forward instead of being able to move between them. When the columns are vertically aligned, the obstruction makes me feel like I should move between the columns and the wall like it was a hallway.

Category: #42 Role of a column between Curved and flat walls

The four photographs highlight the difference in space as the walls and columns change locations. As the walls and columns move around the space, the human figure’s perspective of space changes. I feel that whenever the two curved walls are parallel to each other whether it is on the left or right, I feel that it leads me down between the walls to create a path for me to follow. I feel that whenever the faced flat wall is in the picture, it creates many different options of paths for me to follow as long as I avoid the obstruction.

Category: #43 Curved connection

The four photographs show how the two walls connected at an angle move from 60 degrees to 150 degrees affect the space. As the wall gradually moves, the human figures obstruction slowly decreases. I feel that in the beginning, I cannot move past the wall and that I would need to find another way to move around it. Whenever the wall reaches 150 degrees, I feel that I can continue my path and move past the obstruction.

Category: #44 Curved wall and S-curve wall

Over the span of the four photographs, it shows the difference in the space when the curved wall is 8ft versus 16ft and when there is inside versus outside light. As the wall and lighting change, the human figures space around it alters. I feel that the 8ft wall feels more open than the 16ft wall. Since the walls are lower in the 8ft wall it also you to view above and allows lighter to come through. Whenever the light is projected outside the wall, I feel that it darkens the space. I feel that it leads you toward the light almost like it is a path.

Category: #45 1 point perspective pictures: Void on the upside

The four photographs give a representation of how the different voids affect the human figures space. As the voids change in shape and size, the human figures’ feeling of space alters. I feel that whenever a small square void is utilized, it creates a sense of having little space and needing to stay within the lit area. As the shape grows, I feel that the amount of space grows. The large circle void creates a wide circular boundary that makes the space feel larger than the large square void.

Category: #46 Void on the upside with columns or walls

The six photographs show us the difference in space whenever a wall or column is used underneath the void. As the column, wall, or void size change, the human figure sense of space begins to change. I feel that when the large square void has four columns underneath it, there feels like more space and confidence to move through. Whenever you sub the columns with a facing wall or a passing wall, the amount of light being let in decreases and the shadows become sharper which makes me feel more enclosed to that space. As the void square size decreases, I feel that my sense of space decreases as well.

Category: #47 Void on the downside with columns or walls

Over the span of six photographs, it gives a representation of the feeling light gives in a room as it enters from different angles. As light enters from different angles, the human figure’s view of space may alter. I feel that whenever the light enters from the upper floor, it brightens the space greatly and creates a few shadows. When the light enters from the side, I feel that the entire space feels brighter and larger. As the light moves to be placed from the lower floor, I feel that the upper level feels dark and shadowy which makes me feel like I want to move to the lower floor.

Category: #48 Void on the upside with combinations of columns or walls

The ten photographs in this section picture a combination a photographs as the human figure moves past columns, curved walls, voids and through the room. As the human figure gradually moves through the room, it encounters different obstructions that may lead it down a different path. I feel that as I move around the room, I must alter my path to avoid the columns. I feel that the void above me creates an interesting amount of lighting that makes me feel like it is highlighting where I should go next. As I continue my path, I approach two walls that make a hallway. I feel that the way they are aligned gives me the idea that I should travel in between them to find another space.

Category: #49 Void between Floating Surfaces

Over the span of five photographs, it showed different points of views of floating surfaces in comparison to the human figure. As the position of the human figure changed, it showed the different areas within space. I feel that when I was on top of the floating surfaces that I had a wide and open view of everything around me whether it was left, right, above, or below. I feel that when I was below the floating surfaces, that the floating surface cast shadows that created almost like a pathway for me to follow.

Category: #50 Void between curve-linear Surfaces

The two photographs give a representation of the void in the upper and lower level in comparison to the human figure. As the human figure moves between levels, the lighting spotlights it. I feel that when I am on the lower level (underneath the void), that I have a strong path of light coming through and hitting me. I feel that I am able to strongly see the floor above me, and clearly see the space surrounding me. Whenever I am on the upper level, I feel that the hole is a large obstruction. As I move, I feel I need to be aware so that I can avoid and pass the obstruction.

Category: #51 Void with a combination of Within the two photographs, it illustrates the difference in space when having two different voids in the scene. As the human figure is standing in the scene, the two voids highlight it differently. I feel that the small square void projected harsh lines on the scene that made the space feel smaller. Whenever the circle void was used it projected light onto a wider range of object which opened the space

Category: #52 Curved vertical surface

The two photographs give a representation of the space whenever there is a 4’ wide versus an 8’ wide curved vertical wall. As the wall grows from 4’ to 8’ wide, the human figure’s obstruction becomes larger. I feel that when I am looking at the 4’ curve, the curved surface is not as prominent. Although the 8’ curve is more of an obstruction to move around, the curved surface stands out more.

Category: #53 Curved vertical surface with an upper floor

The five photographs show the change of the space as the human figure moves into different areas of the room. As the curved vertical surface is placed in the room in many different ways, the human figure’s perspective of the room changes. I feel that in some ways that the curve is placed, the space can feel small, dark, and scary at times. Other times, I feel that the curve adds dimension or interesting features to the area.

As the vertical curve is placed through the void, the human figures obstruction changes. I feel that this scene could give discomfort whether I am above or below the void. The curvature coming up and down feels intimidating especially when above the void.

Category: #55 Facing Curved vertical surface

The two photographs illustrate the human figure’s view of the space whenever it is facing a curved vertical surface. As the human figure faces the curved vertical surface, its main focus is the curvature. I feel that when I am facing large curvatures, that I can only focus on them. Depending on my position in relation to the curve, they sometimes feel like an obstruction and that I may need to move around it.

The four photographs show this difference in space when there are curve hanging spaces in comparison to the human figure. As the hanging curved spaces are hung in different ways, the human figures perspective of the room may alter. I feel that when the curved hanging spaces are hung in different ways, I view the room differently. Some of the hanging spaces make the space feel more open whereas others feel more enclosed.

Category: #57 Surfaces with convexities and concavities

The two photographs introduce different convexities and concavities into the space in comparison to the human figure. Whenever there were convexities and concavities in the space, the human figures space was closed off. I feel that the convexities and concavities really close off the space and are an obstruction.

#58 A sphere with a strong center and centripetal force

The four photographs so how the use of a spere and centripetal force affects space in comparison to the human figure. Whenever circular shapes and spheres are used in the space, the human’s obstruction, and view changes. I feel that when the full sphere is in the space, my view is blocked, and I feel that I would need to move around it to avoid the shape. Whenever the half circle is utilized, I have more of a view above it, but I feel I still would need to move to avoid it

Category: #59 Surfaces that are twisted and free

The three photographs show how using twisted and free surfaces affects a space in comparison to the human figure. As the curve is moved in many ways, the human figure’s space alters and its view changes depending on the curvature. I feel that the twisted and free curvatures create many interesting environments. However, when the curvature is on the ground or comes near, I feel that I cannot move freely, meaning I would need to alter my pass and move around.
