P1 INDIVIDUAL
GEOMETRY & FORM: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES
TASK
Part 1
Choose one(1) Ordering Principle:
- Axis
- Symmetry
- Hierarchy
- Datum
- Rhythm
- Repetition
Part 2
Explore your chosen ordering principle in form and volume (models) via the following Primary Elements ( a model for each element with the same ordering principle
- Point
- Line
- Plane
Part 3
Combine 2 or all the mock-ups into one model.
Part 4
Draw, render, and shade four(4) tattoo stamps of your model from Part 3. Tattoo stamps should be a 1:1 drawing of the model:
- plan
- vertical section
- side view (the most intriguing looking)
- top view
Guidelines
Model
Size: 100 x 100 x 100 mm (70% volume must be filled)
Materials: white modelling board, grey board, perspex, balsa wood
Tattoo stamp:
- Size: 100 x 100 x 100 mm (70% volume must be filled)
- drawn on cartridge paper
- monochromatic and rendered with ink
The Design Process Sketch Journal (DPSJ)
Compile the sketches and images of your process models during your design process in A3 format
PROGRESS
ORDERING PRINCIPLE: SYMMETRY
MOCK UP 1
ELEMENT: LINES
FEEDBACK: Mr Chern asked me to play with lines to emphasis more on the principles
Mock-up 2
ELEMENT: POINTS
FEEDBACK: add more sticks to give the exploding effect
ELEMENT: PLANES
Mock-up 3
FEEDBACK: add more height to give a dramatic effect on the elevation
Final Model
combination of lines and points

LIFELONG LEARNING
When I first started this I realise it was similar to one of the modules I have done during FNBE, I thought to myself I think I’ll definitely have fun with this assignment. As I was doing this assignment I looked at the artwork and l got inspiration from the module I had that was similar to this one, I tried my best to understand the lecturer's feedback to improve my model.
THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

I did have my ups and downs while doing this assignment, the most difficult part was trying to find inspiration, this was an interesting process because you could create anything that looks aesthetically pleasing. As I was having problems with finding ideas, I went on asking around such as my friends on how I can develop my model.

Digital Literacy
With the help of the internet, I managed to get more and more inspiration from my work and reference the work for others and change into my interpretation. I was able also to learn through my senior's e-portfolio and on how they developed their designs.
