l'analyse du lieu
We have been given an opportunity by Cindy Pennix to develop and design a cancer retreat center for recovering cancer patients. Initially, we took a journey to the property for documentation purposes. We explored 10 acres of beautiful land including a lake and grape vines. The class was broken into groups to report in a digital format their discoveries of the land. My group was responsible for surveying the site. The next images below illustrates the topography and the other facts about the contours of the land!
Communicating to non-designers
Site Plan of Apple Store, 5th Avenue, New York, NY
With Photoshop I added some color and other objects
floor plan....the Apple Store is actually below ground level
Here I used photoshop once again to add color...further distinguishing each level. (above ground, ground level and below ground.
Hard line - Interior view
Photoshop software allowed me to add scale figures, showing size and proportions in the interior.
Additional interior view including the glass staircase inside the Apple Store.
Once again I've blended hand techniques with digital technology to communicate the function and flow of the interior of the Apple Store.
Hard line - Exterior view
Once again merging hand technique with digital interest...I'm attempting a night time look in this image.
Presentation day...here's my layout / composition of all the drawings. I attempted to emulate the Apple Store's cube shape.
Following critiques, I'm less than pleased with my work and see many opportunities for a more cohesive board . I'd like to rework this over fall break. To be continued...........
Following fall break, I spoke with Travis and asked for a hard critique on both boards.
We both agreed that the below layout is much more successful, however, the renderings still needed work. I conquer.
My next assignment is to team up 4 my peers and produce a professionally bounded book. Therefore, those renderings that weren't so great previously...has got to be reworked again. Travis didn't make that a requirement, but I couldn't have those influencing the outcome of a group grade...nor in my portfolio. I wanted my hand renderings to look better ....so I reworked them again...
And again! Much better!
Now I feel compelled to add these to the Final, final Presentation Board
