PROJECT 1: Models and Tattoos: Expression through Design Elements
and Principles
Taylors Graduate Capabilities
For this assignment, we were asked to design 6 models following with it's tattoo stamps based on the 5 elements- Materials, Line, Shape, Mass and Space. Along with the 16 Principles- Balance, Connection, Contrast, Emphasis, Form, Groping, Imagery, Meaning, Symbolism, Pattern, Placement, Proportion, Rhythm, Scale, Unity and Variety. These models were to have a dimension of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm. At the end of this assignment we had a verbal presentation to relate our ideas and concepts towards our assigned lecturer.

TASKS
Design Elements and Principles are all around us. It is a necessary process needed in design where every art student should know of. This process is the start of every design we have today.
INTRODUCTION
FINAL OUTCOME
PROJECT 1: Diagramming Architectural Design Intentions & Principles
INTRODUCTION
Diagramming is a graphical representation of concepts that are part of architecture. This would include the principles, elements and components. Through diagrams, it itself would tell the story and ideas. Where the visual says a thousand words.
TASKS
For this assignment, we were given a specific house in West Malaysia. This being the Deck House by Choo Gim Wah. For this we were to identify the architecture along with the spaces created from the design intentions. This assignment is focusing more on analyzing a work purely from the architectural aspect. Where we are to identify the architects intention based on the immediate site context and how the intentions actually reflected the architectural principles. For this assignment, we were to work in a group of 5 people. As well as coming up with 8 analysis diagrams and 8 diagrammatic models at a size of (8x8x8 cm)
FINAL OUTCOME
This is an overall of our boards and models. along with an actual model of the Deck House itself.
MODELS
These are the diagramattic models done by my group along with a model of the actual Deck house. dor the diagram models, we've done a few for natural lighting, ventilation, p
DIAGRAMS
These are the chosen diagrams my group has done for the Deck House. A few of these diagrams are additive & subtractive, hierachy, structure , natural lighting, ventilation, repetitive to unique, plan to elevation and geometry.
BOARDS
These are the boards for assignment 1 which includes the plan views, sections and elevations of the Deck house. There.s also a breief introduction of architect Choo Gim Wah along with perspectives and an exploded axonometric of the Deck House.
REFLECTION & TGC's
From this assignment, I've learned more about diagramming and diagram model making. I've also realized that my thinking and problem solving has improved as throughout the entire process, there were certain obstacles which occurred in preventing us from achieving our desired outcome. However, after modifying and accommodating to the problems, we had managed to solve the issue. Besides that, our time management has improved since we were allocated very little time to complete this assignment.
