Assignment_03a: Abstraction Line of a Natural ObjectFruits and Vegetables
Exploration of the essence of a natural object (i.e. fruit or vegetable) through a set of representations that create an abstraction line from realistic to abstract. The exercise involved slicing the object to explore its skins, solids, voids, layers, thicknesses, textures, and colours.
The abstraction line consisted of minimum 7 maximum 14 A4 sheets, of:• Photographs• Realistic Sketches• Analysis of Basic Elements (i.e. point,
line, plane, volume) and Visual Aspects (i.e. shape, size, colour, texture)
• Geometrical Analysis to explore relations between constituent elements (i.e. directions, positions, proportions, dimensions, axii, centers).
• Main Characteristic(s) of the Object based on size, colour, shape, form, texture, density, etc. expressed by a motto.
• Abstraction through elimination of details, reduction and simplification to isolate the Essential Formal Properties of the Physical Object

MethodForming primitive formsDesigning with solids and voidsDesigning with 3D compositionDeveloping design ideasOrganizing design field
Assignment_05: Enveloping Two VoidsExperimenting Volume with Masses
Production of an approximately 30x30x30 cm self-standing 3D composition by organising and controlling solids and voids with primitive forms and ratios:
Primitive Forms:A) Regular Square Prism 1 _ (x:a, y:a, z:4a)B) Regular Square Prism 2 _ (x:a, y:a, z:b)C) Regular Cube _ (2a x 2a x 2a)D) Regular Cube _ (b x b x b)E) Regular Rectangular Prism 3 _ (x:b, y:a, z:2b)F) Regular Rectangular Prism 4 _ (x:b, y:a, z:4b)
Basic Rules for Enveloping Two Voids:1) Using the given primitive forms as solids, you are going to produce one minor (N)
and one major (J) void within the composition.2) Determine the locations, positions and scale of the primitives in order to produce
minor and major voids.3) N is appx. 300 cm3 and J is appx. 1200 cm3.4) The two voids (N&J) has to be separated from each other, yet, they have to be
interconnected with one another.5) The voids in the composition should be visible from the outside world.6) The relationship between primitive forms can be face-to-face, edge-to-edge, point-
to-point, wedging, piercing, cradling, etc.7) Each primitive form should not lose their own identity. You can use sufficient
amount of primitive forms.8) Good craftsmanship is a must.
In the second part of the exercise, the following rules were added to introduce transparency and colour:
10) Introduce transparency (then colour) into your design in such a way as to emphasize the minor void (N)
11) You can make max. two planes of each primitive transparent12) Ratio of transparent planes to total # of planes should not exceed %3013) Document your 3D B&W&G composition for ASS_05a by taking photos and
sketches. Make a poster for those (35 x 50 cm.)
Assignment_05: Enveloping Two VoidsExperimenting Volume with Masses
Preparing the Light-Box
A) Produce a square PRISM, measuring 10x10x40 cm out of grey cardboard, by1) rendering one of the rectangular surfaces removable, i.e. without any design elements attached to it.2) producing one of the square surfaces out of a semi-transparent plane to serve as a PROJECTION SCREEN.3) opening a HOLE (r = 0.25 cm) at the centre of the other solid square surface to serve as a PROJECTION and VIEWING POINT for
the 3D composition inside the PRISM.Make a meaningful 3D composition inside the PRISM to reveal a clear design idea (such as hierarchy, balance, centrality etc.) in each of the three elevations mentioned below, using 6 STICKS in total, using at least 1 from each one of the following 3 types of sticks, all measuring 15cm in length and square in section but have the following thicknesses and characteristics:
1) White (painted) and solid STICK(s) with a thickness of 0.3x0.3cm or 0.4x0.4cm or 0.5x0.5cm in section, depending on availability and your choice.
2) Coloured STICK(s) (out of cartridge paper planes) measuring 1x1cm in section3) Coloured transparent STICK(s) (out of acetate planes) measuring 2x2cm in section
Enhance your 3D composition inside the PRISM by adding the following SIDESOLIDs into your design to strengthen your design ideas(such as hierarchy, balance, centrality etc.):
1) 1 transparent semi-spheres with r1 =1 cm2) 1 transparent semi-spheres with r2 = 2 cm
Assignment_06: Experiencing, Documenting, and Designing with Light, Shadows, and ColourLight-Box
Designing with Light and Shadows
The transparent SIDESOLIDs will let artificial light into the LIGHT-BOX from a source along the central axis of their rectangular surfaces, with R1 = 20 cm.
E) After testing your design composition in our modest LIGHTLAB, draw on 50 x 35 white paper and in 1/1 Scale:
1) the elevation of your design as viewed along the removable rectangular surface (in B&W with shadows).
2) the 2D shadow composition on the square semi-transparent PROJECTION SCREEN as formed by a point light projected from the HOLE at the centre the opposite opaque square surface.
3) the elevation of your design as viewed from the HOLE on the opaque square surface under the light projected from the LIGHT SOURCE along the central axis of the rectangular surfaces through the two SIDESOLIDs.
Mention the design idea (such as hierarchy, balance, centrality etc.) on all of the drawings.
Assignment_06: Experiencing, Documenting, and Designing with Light, Shadows, and ColourIndividual Light-Box
Rules
1) STICKs should touch and puncture two surfaces of PRISMs.
2) STICKs should not touch the SIDESOLIDs
3) The SIDESOLIDs should project into the LIGHT-BOX from the side surfaces of your selection except the removable one.
4) The SIDESOLIDs should not touch the PROJECTION SCREEN.
5) Two of the SIDESOLIDs in each LIGHT-BOX should be transparent.
Goals to AchieveDevelopment of 2D and 3D design skillsUnderstanding and applying 2D and 3D composition principlesUnderstanding and controlling geometric relations between 3D and 2D design fieldsUnderstanding and controlling geometric relations between 3D design elementsDevelopment of the skill to design with colour, light and shadowsDevelopment of good craftsmanship

Assignment_06: Experiencing, Documenting, and Designing with Light, Shadows, and ColourLight-Box
Designing with Light and Shadows
1) Unite two light boxes from their removable rectangular planes.
2) Remake the semi-transparent surfaces of two PRISMs as a 10x20 cm plane.
3) Remake the opaque surfaces of the two PRISMs with viewing holes as a 10x20 cm plane with a central viewing hole.
4) Increase the radius of the r1=1cm semi-spheres to r1=3cm: a)2 transparent semi-spheres with r1= 3cm; b)2 transparent semi-spheres with r2 = 2 cm.
5) Create a 3D composition inside the combined PRISMs to reveal a clear design idea (such as hierarchy, balance, centrality etc.) in both of the two elevations mentioned below.
6) A LIGHT SOURCE should be fixed at a specific point along a radial path around the centre of the collective LIGHTBOX, with R1 = 30 cm.
7) Draw on 50 x 35 white paper and in 1/1 Scale: a) the 2D shadow composition on the rectangular semi-transparent PROJECTION SCREEN under a point light from the HOLE on the opposite opaque rectangular surface; b) the elevation as viewed from the HOLE on the opaque rectangular surface under the light projected from the LIGHT SOURCE along the central axis of the rectangular surfaces through the 4 SIDESOLIDs.
