FINALE - The PORTFOLIO

THE FINALE


Week 13


It has been a long and wonderful course. You have created a number of works that demonstrate a solid understanding of architecture. Now it is time to review your assignments and choose one to finalize. 

Review your past assignments and consider improving it to a high level of gallery quality. Then consider how you would supplement this idea with additional architectural drawings to exhibit a fully comprehensible vision.


Conceptual

The end is near and now you must bring one of your assignments to a level of quality and sophistication that it is worthy of a place in your portfolio. You should use one of your pieces as an anchor piece and further develop other aspects of the architectural idea. I recommend that you tackle this as a "set" of drawings that tells a story of history, structure, material, proportion, scale and drama. Use Light and Color. The Layout of the drawings should also be carefully considered as a work of art in and of itself.



ASSIGNMENT

The PORTFOLIO SET


Practical

·          * Create a Series of Drawings that work together as a whole to communicate a complete architectural idea.

·          Create a set (3-5) gallery quality drawings depicting a place (real or imagined) 

           * Fully rendered and in COLOR with supporting PLANS, SECTIONS, ELEVATIONS and DETAILS 

Put together a STRATEGY that outlines a clear ROAD MAP to what you intend to present as a final SET of images

         IMPORTANT: Please bring sketches of your idea next class Tuesday April 24 for approval and feedback

  1. HELLO GANG!

    Thanks to those who submitted their work. So those of you who missed class yesterday I provided a lot of feedback to students in attendance and I wanted to share that with you all to help as you begin to finalize one of your assignments more thoroughly. Overall the goal here is to tell a complete story using the language of architecture. Right now you will have presumably a key art piece (of your choice from a previous assignment) but it remains a single note. What I would like each of you to do (this was a global issue across the class) is to craft additional drawings that help to communicate a full picture using plans, sections, elevations or detailed call outs and notes or reference to truly captivate a viewer to understand your "place". So consider doing a "set" of drawings (digital if you wish) with your key art as the main focus and present it as a well thought out composition for your portfolio. So for example if you were to do the travel poster assignment then you would craft additional supporting art in the form of plan, section, elevation, or details to create a complete board that states your idea.

    Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to share any of your work in progress for additional critique,

    See you next class
