Architectural Communication- Reflection

The course has taught me the variaty of tutors, and the importence to adjust according to their perspectives. Coming out of the fluid thoughts workshop, where the tutor had encouraged wild approaches to the projects, I did not adjust well to the model making workshop. The resulting model I produced was recugnized to be well made, but did not fit in with the marker's approach. Whether the concept was architectural was personal, but the low mark I received shows me that since the tutor is marking it, their view is the one that counts. The same applies in the future where while creative flair is important, it more vital for the scheme to be consistant with the target audience's taste.

The drawing workshop tutors seemd to be more open to more wild concepts, and from the feedback, I am hoping that they can recognize the enormous amount of effort put into the projects, appreciate the experimentation with concepts, and not dismiss because they have a different view.

Architetural Drawing Workshop- Tetris Botta House


The layout was done in response to the way spaces slot together in the Botta house. From top to bottom, on the left are floor plans (form top to bottom) section and elevation all aligned towards the same direction. On the right are these images exploded into tetris pieces, which are falling into the contour lines. The viewers feel like gamers trying to pieces of the house together, according the template provided, the create the spacial quality of the interiors.
