Spatial Assembly – Progress – Project Two (2310)

Instruction:

Further work on and create drafts of your dream studio in one-point perspective.

Purpose:

Work on progress towards the end and final product.

My Interpretation:

I played with the vanishing point and special point a lot to get a grid I enjoyed that wasn’t too warped. I developed my studio based off of cozy liminal and older-styled architecture. I included many wall additions and wall subtractions to play with space and the vibe I wanted with what would be my ideal space. Lots of place to stand around or sit and relax as well as an implied private space in the back for private design time. Lots of light was incorporated into the desk area to avoid shadows as I would draft.

Spatial Assembly – Perspective Exploration – Project Two (2310)

Instruction:

Create two-point perspective drawings of a cube, cylinder, pyramid, taurus, and sphere. Have two of these shapes interact directly.

 

Purpose:

Explore how changes of space and position impact the shape of these fundamental shapes. Practice two-point perspective.

 

My Interpretation:

I drew each requirement twice, one large to emphasize the steps to get there, another time much smaller where I could play around with space and the shapes relationship to it more. I decided to have an inverted pyramid poke through the hole of a taurus as my two shapes that interacted.

Research – Spatial Assembly – Project Two (2130)

Room Dimensions – 200 square feet

I love tight spaces and long corridors. I have styled my own personal room in my home so it follows a more close and narrow appearance. I want the walls to be close and cozy, but distant enough to have two people walk by each other comfortably, including furniture. I like the idea that this studio was just an unused hallway that I repurposed. I plan to have a very high ceiling. I want to create a subtle hierarchy with they length of the room. The beginning being open and inviting, but as you delve deeper into the room, more and more personal items, work spaces, and less areas to sit exist.

  • 10 by 20
    • Definitely enough room in width to pass by anyone, even with furniture in the way.
    • Only doubly wide as long, loses hierarchical importance and narrow pathway feel.
    • More of a rectangular room than a corridor.
  • 8 by 25
    • Potential problem with space and people passing each other, must be careful placing things.
    • Longer room, but still relatively room shaped. Inoffensive.
  • 6 by 33 1/3
    • The most potential problem with space. Heavy attention to location of furniture and ability to move about is necessary.
    • Unique opportunities with the space.
      • Could create faux doors/doorways by placing furniture and pinching circulation to force people through certain areas one at a time or establish an emphasis between spaces.
      • With a high ceiling, claustrophobia is extremely reduced and the awe of the space invites a wandering eye.
      • Office/work space defined by the very end of the room that you must walk all the way down to.
    • More corridor than room, cozy and repurposed feel I’m going for.

A. “A wall or structural detail.”

  • coffers
    • subtractive, adds more space in an already cramped area
    • potential shelves or storage areas
  • columns/pilasters
    • additive, takes away space available
    • creates hierarchy and emphasis
    • ability to subtly separate areas of studio
  • half/quarter walls
    • subtractive, allows for unique areas
      • benches and social sitting areas for quarter walls
      • shelves and high storage for areas with half walls
    • can separate areas of the studio, much like columns or pillars

B. “An area for sitting.”

  • half/quarter walls
    • can be an elongated bench
    • social area
  • specified chairs or sofa
    • lessens space for walkway
    • social space, although cramped

C. “An object for a workspace.”

  • design desk (with lots of ascending shelves)
  • some nice chair lol

D. “A personal item no larger than a person.”

  • music stuffs
    • ukulele
    • guitar
    • trumpet
    • keyboard
    • microphone set-up
  • posters and personal junk
    • posters of shows
    • frames of important photos
    • medals and sashes of fun importance
    • stuff I’ve collected
