WEEK ONE: DOG HOUSE STUDY 1.0
First Attempt:
WEEK ONE: DOG HOUSE STUDY 1.0
Second Attempt:
REFLECTION:
This was my first time hearing about the software, Sketch-up. It was
intimidating at first, because I was surprised on how diverse the tools were. I was
just used to drawing things by hand, but when we experimented with the
program, it actually made my drawings cleaner and more precise. It brought my
ideas to life. The professor also introduced the basic tools that one might use in
every sketch-up project, like:
The Pencil Tool where lines and edges can be drawn with
The Shapes Tool where basic shapes like rectangles and circles can be drawn
The Arc Tools where one can draw an arc
The Push and Pull Tool where you can push or pull a face drawn in your project
The professor also introduced the Axes and Point of Origin where it
is used as a guide for all projects. He taught us about the Pan,
Orbit, and Rotate tool to navigate our way through the software.
He also introduced the Different Views that you can set when
working on your project. He assigned us to do a simple dog house
for our first project as an introduction to the course. He guided as
well along the way in case anyone is going to fall behind.

WEEK ONE: DOG HOUSE STUDY 2.0
WEEK ONE: DOG HOUSE STUDY 2.0
Second Attempt:
REFLECTION:
The professor had us practice our new acquired skills from the last project. He
had us do another dog house, but with more complex shapes and structure than
the previous one.
The professor also taught us about elevation through stairs
He had us practice using the Line Tool and we created layers that soon
created height differences
He also taught us how to make a dome by using the Circle Tool
We also used the Guide Lines to aid us in this project
The Push and Pull Tool also played a major role in this iteration and we learned
how to add and subtract structures by using this tool.
REFLECTION:
From the first iteration, I am started to feel less intimidated about
the course and saw the pace that this class goes through. I had to
adjust to this pace, which wasn’t as troublesome as I thought it
would. I also had fun with applying colors to the structures’ faces.
We also got to download objects from the 3D Warehouse as the
professor introduced it. I thought to myself that this was very easy
and more time conserving than drafting and building models by
hand. This course is more suitable for me.
WEEK TWO: CIRCULAR STAIRS STUDY
First Attempt:
For this week, the professor had decided to practice more on
different tools. He had assigned us to create a staircase, with his
guidance. At first I was confused on the process of making it, but in
the end I managed.
The Professor had instructed us to use the Circle Tool with 24 sides
We also used the Push and Pull Tool to give depth to our stairs
As for the railings, we use the Line Tool to create the basic shape, but we
also use the Follow Me Tool to complete the railings itself
REFLECTION:
The professor had then instructed us to create our own stairs
inspired by our own designs. It was quite challenging for me
because, for me, I had never thought about designing stairs in my
life, but this iteration has completely changed that.
REFLECTION:
WEEK THREE: MALEVICH CASE STUDY
ATTEMPT:
For this iteration, we had to work with a painting. We had to
create a project based on Malevich’s painting, where we
incorporate some (or maybe all) the forms in the artwork and bring
them to life. We used the same tools such as: Push and Pull, Shape
Tool, Line Tool, and Guide Lines to complete this iteration. The
professor also introduced the Animation in the previous iteration
and we had to incorporate it to this particular project.
Through the Camera Tool, we had to create scenes that will
revolve around the structure to highlight certain parts of the
project and showcase it to your audience.
REFLECTION:
This particular project is actually a project I also did for my other
class Architecture 101, thus I had some idea on how to tackle this
iteration. But design wise, it also required time and imagination to
create a different structure for this assignment. It was actually fun
to explore the Camera Tool, because it feels like you were actually
making a movie or commercial to show off to other people. This
iteration was particularly interesting.
REFLECTION:
WEEK FOUR: PLANES, SANDBOX, AND SHAPES
PLANES ATTEMPT:
SAND BOX ATTEMPT:
SHAPES ATTEMPT:
The professor has introduced a new tool and has asked us to
work with it. For the first part, we crafted “paper airplanes” through
Sketch-Up. We studied how we folded airplanes in real life and we
applied that knowledge into making the airplanes by “digitally
folding” them. We were also asked to create shapes and
manipulate them by combining them to produce more shapes
through subtraction and addition.
We used the Rotate Tool to “fold up” the paper airplanes
We used the Sand Box tool to create terrain for our structures
We used the Shape Tool to make shapes and combine them to
achieve more complex shapes
REFLECTION:
This week was particularly challenging for me because of the
new tool, Sand Box. It’s a fairly simple tool over all if you look at it,
but the only part I struggled with was the Drape Tool. The professor
has asked us to create a path for our structure that was raised up
on a terrain we had made, he also demonstrated to us how to
create a path. I was always having trouble mimicking the steps he
had done, thus I just moved on into making the iteration.

WEEK FIVE: INTERIOR STUDIES
