Push is on.

3D to 2D
To summarise latest class.
Use Virginia Macleod's books as a style guide benchmark.
Also take a look at Andrew Watts' book, Modern Construction Envelopes, if you are concerned your design imagination has gotten ahead of your ideas to build or document it.
...and to those brave students who took the plunge to move their autocad backgrounds from black to white, well done.
"you've taken your 
first step in a larger world".

Previous examples

Reverse Engineering an outcome from where we are at, this is what I had in mind...
1. Model Photographed.
2. Photoshop Filters + Trees + Entourage
3. Design Response
4. Autocad Plan Drawings.
Next week we begin autocad, functional planning....
Other presentations will be discussed, such as this one
While this presentation is computer based, the underpinning ideas are powerful. The graphic presentation is primarily about underpinning a strong conceptual position.
This is a conceit, that is taking an existing form supplanting it to a foreign site. This is architecture as weed. A point grid of global data, a global neural net.

Roof Plan Stuff


Imagine you are viewing the roof suspended from a crane or hot air balloon, you do not have xray vision. 
Will add to this as necessary.
Roof Plan
Also take a look at the WD checklist.
Refer to:
A.S. 3500.3 for S.W Design

Design Photos


Roof plan aerial view

Elevational study

Photoshop test 1
Etc... Repeat.
Also start considering the autocad plan graphics that come from these form studies. This project is as much about the planning requirements as it is about the aesthetic qualities.
Keep in mind the drawing style from Virginia Mcleod.
also have a look at the works of Alex Hogrefe.
Then dump into autocad and draw better than this, (please).

of course, remembering that this image in turn will be also added in photoshop to the original image, also textures will be added in turn to this graphic, and so on. It's about multiple exposure to create a sense of design ambiguity. Which we will talk about in other studio and posts.
