Ok, so this is my web log about my final semester (god willing) in the UNM Architecture undergrad program. The only people who will probably will read this will be my classmates and my prof. And maybe some other people who get told about this. I don't know.
Anyway.
Earlier today I started and completed our first assignment to create 15 quick study models to represent time, velocity, and networking. We were told it would only take about 2 hours which (when calculated out using the might power of math) is 8 minutes per model. Well I did my best to stick to that but lagged behind and after two hours only had ten done. What are you gonna do? But about an hour after choir I was all done and ended up with a bunch of models which honestly look a lot alike.
It seems the way I try to represent time and velocity are about the same way. And the way I tried to show networking looks a lot like the way I tried to show time and velocity. But I'm not doing it again.
Unless of course I am told to. In which case I don't have much of a choice.
I tired my best to show the concept while still adding enough elements to define space and create the illusion of places to walk and stand. I mean, having a shooting ball with streams of a tail behind it doesn't leave much to show as far as space. But some cardboard pieces later I have something that still shows what I was trying to represent but now has more spaces to it.
Unfortunately I think doing that is what caused a lot of my models to start looking the same. But I did it quickly without thinking of the past model nor of the future one so while they may all look alike, each one is a representation of what I was thinking about and how I thought I could make it more interesting. So at least I am consistent.
I think it will be a good jumping off point for the digital models though. I have enough ideas out and even though they all look like as far as certain large elements and materials go, looking through them gives a different story.
Then again after doing 15 models I was a little brain dead so they may not look as different up close as I am leading myself to believe. Only tomorrow will tell.
Bye!
