PROJECT 1
GEOMETRY AND FORM: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES
This project focuses on an immersive exploration of idea generation in architecture through workshop-based learning. It aims to uncover diverse approaches for translating conceptual designs into tangible architectural expressions, emphasizing design principles in communication and architectural representation. Participants will enhance their skills in three-dimensional design and diagrammatic translation while producing design concepts from various sources. By identifying key architectural elements and employing them in compositions that showcase effective space-making, this project aims to refine manual drawing and model-making skills for clear and precise architectural communication.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT:
To explore different approaches of generating ideas through rigorous design processes through workshop-based learning.
To explore various approaches in translating ideas, design translation and interpretation.
To explore varied forms of design principles in communication and architectural expression.
To enhance ability in designing three-dimensional design and translated to diagrams.
In this project, I opted for "Rhythm" as my chosen ordering principle. I needed to explore it through the creation of models that emphasized form and volume. The primary elements I worked with were points, lines, and planes. For my "POINT FORM RHYTHM" model, every line consists of points that are centralized. A circle consists of triangles from small to big that are circulation.To represent "LINE FORM RHYTHM," it consists of many curved lines. The curvilinear style is characterized by the curving lines. To create my third model, "PLANE FORM RHYTHM," the idea came from interlocking architecture concepts. It is a repetitive modular grid structure based on squares. Lastly the fourth model is the combination of the second model and the third model. It forms intertwining concepts in an interconnected manner. The curvilinear lines overlapped the modular grid structure based on squares.
