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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Small-curved and 8ft height

Large-curved and 16ft height

Small-curved and 16ft height

Large-curved and 8ft height

Category: #39

Entering a space between curved mirror walls_02

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.

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

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.

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

Paragraph: The void at the bottom of the scene allows the light to travel upward. Having the wall in the center of the void further causes the light to travel up and light up the room. 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.

Category: #49 Void between Floating Surfaces

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.

Category: #51 Void with a combination of

Paragraph: The void at the bottom of the scene allows the light to travel upward. Having the wall in the center of the void further causes the light to travel up and light up the room. 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: #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.

Category: #53 Curved vertical surface with an upper floor

Paragraph: The curved vertical place already allows for a different perspective within the area but an upper floor specifically one with a void allows for the illusion to a taller ceiling. 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.

Category: #54

Curved vertical surface with a void

Paragraph: The curved vertical surface facing the curved creates a unique space. The curved surface aligns with the corner of the void. 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.

Category: #56 Hanging curved surfaces

Paragraph: the curved hanging surface holds the light within it rather than letting it slide down. Having the curved surface hand block the light setting a dark scene. 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.

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

Paragraph: the sphere stands above a s-curved vertical wall. It shows its defiance as it should not be able to float above the wall. The human is placed below the wall to show the contrast in size in the ball and the human. Being on the curved wall and even at the bottom makes me feel scared of the ball falling down onto me. 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: #35 Curved wall outside

The 8 images show how as a variation of heights are created for curved walls, the shape and shadows of the surrounding area vary. As the human figure walks to different spots, with new heights, there are all sorts of shadows and light spaces created. These photos make me feel slightly crazy as I am walking around a continuosly walk aeound a circule figure with no end in sight.

Category: #36 Curved Walls and Flat Walls

These 5 images show a sequence of a human figure entering a new area while the half curve wall changes position as well. As the human figure moves, it not only is moving but so are the other walls and figures around. I feel a positive sense of reality since this is a very surreal life-like image.

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: #39 Entering a space between curved mirror walls_02

These 8 images illustrate the movement of a figure between curved mirroring walls as the light switches from inside to outside. As the scale and lighting of the walls changes, the human figure becomes enlarged or shrinks when traveling toward the crevice of the walls. I feel optimistic and excited when looing at these images, the human figure is setting out to embark on their adventure with confidence.

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: #43 Curved connection

These 4 images illustrate the difference of space between a curved wall and human figure. As the angle of the wall changes, the room begins to feel more open. I feel eager and optimistic as the room widens, I feel like I can breathe again.

Category: #44 Curved wall and S-curve wall

These 4 images show how a curved wall when connected at different angles can effect the width of a room. As the degrees increase, the room becomes stretched with more dark space. I feel bored from these images since they are so reptile and dragged out.

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: #46 Void on the upside with columns or walls

These images depict different perspectives of lighting from a void on the upside. As the shape or size of the void changes, the shadow sizes react. I feel isolated and sheltered, being singled out in the spotlight.

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

These images illustrate the different formations and combinations of columns and walls with a varying voids and lighting. As the shapes of the voids change as well as the angle of lighting, there are different shadows created with the human figure. When looking at these photos I feel a sense of uncertainty, as I become closer to the void I am not able to fully view what is below me.

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

These 10 photographs illustrate the movement of a human figure as he travels toward an upside void with configurations of walls or columns on either side. As the figure moves, we are able to discover different walls or figures that may not have been noticeable before. I feel a sense of promise an hope when I walk toward the void of light.

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.

Category: #51 Void with a combination of These 2 images illustrate my past shadow which has now been turned into a void of light, as well as a curved had circle serving as a seat and fireplace. 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.

Category: #54 Curved vertical surface with a void

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.

Category: #56 Hanging curved surfaces

These illustrations illustrate a human figure who is at first underneath a curved surface looking toward two columns spaced evenly apart. As the figure moves toward the columns, they turn right around the left column but ending in between the spaced columns looking forward at they’re past self. 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.

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

These images show a figure standing before a large circular ball like object, casting a shadow Infront of them. As the light source from behind is changed the human figure begins no get farther and farther from the shadow without actually moving itself. 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 #6: Passing the aligned wall

These 6 photos communicate how as a wall moves parallel with a human figure; the one-point perspective view of the wall continuously fades out of frame. As the wall gradually moves, the human figure continues its linear path. I felt that I was able to walk through this open space as the parallel wall moves toward the camera’s one-point perspective. Passing

Lily Dudley Portfolio

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.

Category #6: Passing the aligned wall

Passing the aligned wall is a series of images that show a wall placed at 90 degrees is being passed by a human. The human figure is on the right of the wall walking close and passing it. 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 #8: Floating and faced Wall

Floating and faced wall is a series of images that show a large wall placed directly in front of a human lifting up off the ground. The human is unmoved in this series but is overcome by a lifting wall. When I look at these images I feel like the wall that’s lifting is opening a new space for me which makes me feel excited. Once the wall is completely up in the air I feel like I can continue in my journey forward.

Category #9: 8ft high floating and aligned wall

8ft high floating and aligned wall is a group of images showing a floating wall placed at 90 degrees floating from the left of the image to the right of the image. The human is not moving in these images. The wall floats from the left of the human to directly in front of them. When I look at these images I feel uneasy. When the wall is floating so high above me and pointing at me I feel as thought I need to move away from the wall.

Category #10: 8ft high floating and faced wall

8ft high floating and faced wall is a group of 8 images that show a wall placed at zero degrees in front of the human moving front the left side of the room to the middle. The human is not moving. The wall is moving only in front of the human and the angle is unchanged through the transfer. When I look at these pictures I feel that before the wall is moved there is an eerie presence but when the wall is moved directly in front of me I am more comfortable with it being there.

Category #11: floating horizontal surface

Floating horizontal surface is a series of 8 images showing a wall that is parallel to the ground moving from the left of the image to the middle. Once the wall is moved, the wall is hovering over the human. When I look at these images I feel like before the wall is moved I should stay away from it but once the wall is moved above me I have a curiosity that I should go underneath it and continue on my path.

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.

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

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.

Category #16: Inclined surface to a facing wall

Inclined surface to facing wall is a group of nine pictures that show a rectangle tilted at 10° toward a scale figure. The human scale figure is not moving in this series. 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. When I look at these images I feel curious as to why there is one pole in the middle of the room. Because it is alone I want to approach it.

Category: #19 Two Columns

Two columns is a pair of images that display two columns. In the first image the human is splitting the columns which are placed on either side of him. In the second picture the columns are placed parallel and to the right of the humans path. When I see these pictures I feel like need to go in between the poles in the first picture and I feel like I need to continue past the columns in the second picture. Both Images I feel like tell me where I need to walk.

Category: #20 Three Columns

Three columns is a pair of images that show us different arrangements of three different columns. In the first image the man is walking past a line of three columns. In the second he is walking through 2 on his left side and one on his right. In both of these images I want to continue on my past close to the columns. I feel like they have carved out a path for me so I want to keep walking.

Category: #21 Four Columns

Four columns is a pair of two images showing 4 columns set in a square, then in a smaller rectangle. The man in the first image is standing outside of the columns and in the second a man is standing on the opposite end of the columns. When I look at the wide column image I do not want to approach the columns. They are placed in such a way that I feel like they are a boundary of some sort. In the second image I want to continue through the columns as if it were a hallway.

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.

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.

These images show a curved vertical surface in front of the figure. The setting of the surface allows for the focal point to be on the figure in its decision upon the surface’s arrival. The feeling of these images are curiosity as the surface continues to go up and above the viewpoint of the figure.

Category: #53 Curved vertical surface with an upper floor

These images show a floating surface alongside a curved wall with two figures within the images. The setting of the surface allows for one figure to always be reaching out to the other from the ground to up above. The feeling from these images are limerence again as that figure will be yearning for the figure on the surface.

Category: #54 Curved vertical surface with a void

These images show a curved vertical surface in front of the figure going through a void above. The setting of the surface allows for the focal point to be on the figure in its decision upon the surface’s arrival, but also putting emphasis on the fact that the surface had to pass through the void in the first place. The feeling of these images are curiosity as the surface continues to go up and above the viewpoint of the figure.

Category: #55 Facing Curved vertical surface

These images show a curved vertical surface in front of the figure going through a void above. The setting of the surface allows for the focal point to be on the figure in its decision upon the surface’s arrival, but also putting emphasis on the fact that the surface had to pass through the void in the first place. The feeling of these images are curiosity as the surface continues to go up and above the viewpoint of the figure.

Category: #56 Hanging curved surfaces

These images show a hanging curved surface above the figure. The setting og the curved surface allows for a tunnel to be made around the figure. The feeling from this image is comforting and soothing as the tunnel has one open direction for the figure and allows for all kinds of movement within the tunnel.

Category: #57 Surfaces with convexities and concavities

These images show a hanging curved surface above the figure as well as a concavity. The setting of the curved surface allows for a tunnel to be made around the figure while the concavity allows for complexity in the movement of the figure. The feeling from this image is comforting and soothing as the tunnel has one open direction for the figure.

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

These images show a sphere passing through an void above the figure in a confined space. The setting of the sphere in the void allow the focal point to be the sphere in the first place but also placing emphasis on the void its blocking for the figure. The feeling from these images are fear as its unsure to the figure how stable the void is in blocking a force like the sphere against it.

Category: #59 Surfaces that are twisted and free

These images show grounded and floating curved surfaces within a confined space. The setting of the curved surfaces allow there to be balance in the images above and grounded with the figure. The feeling of these images are harmonious as the matching surfaces mirror one another to the figure’s positions.

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.

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.
