· Finalise your group model, attending to the fine detail of the building, and producing 4 photorealistic comparative renderings (2 interiors and 2 exteriors, see the task for over the break for details).
Create an A3 interactive PDF concentrating on one important aspect of your building such as circulation, spatial arrangement, site context, etc. This task is aimed at getting you fluid with the technology, and producing a poster document quickly. Discuss with your tutor the most important aspect of your building to analyse.
- To be completed in Studio today! All tasks from now on will be individual tasks!
- Do the interactive PDF tutorials, and read through the tips document. This can be found on emustore in …>Interactive PDF’s>Animations in PDFs. Do the “animations_in_pdf_guide.pdf” first, then the more complicated “cap53_indesign2.pdf” guide. There are also some other documents that may be of use in the folder.
- There are also other more specific tutorials available on the web, that outline more specific processes, such as using SWF files for your interactivity.
- Using the building model that you developed over the break, develop an A3 Interactive poster of your work.
- If you don’t have your building today, you can find a well known building form one of the following architects:
- Louis Kahn
- Tadao Ando
- Toyo Ito
- Frank Gehry
- Zaha Hadid
- Carlo Scarpa
- Le Corbusier
- Frank Lloyd Wright
- Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
- Make sure that you can find a textured 3D model of your building on Google 3D Warehouse (for the purpose of this task only! You will still need to create a 2 page A3 interactive PDF of your building concentrating on your chosen analytical aspect).
- Export/render 4 images of your model (think about framing from a human perspective, you can use the images that you produced over the break for the task).
- Also produce a 10 second animation that concentrates on your chosen analysis area.
- To get a 3D model into your PDF… Export the model as *.obj file format.
- Install Microstation v8i from the samples folder for this course. (ftp://emustore.fbe.unsw.edu.au/Resources/samples/Arch/ARCH1390 Representation Studio - Harkins\Microstation V8i)
- Open your *.obj file in Microstation, and export your model in *.u3d file format. (This is the file format that allows you to embed 3D models in PDF's). There are other ways to get models into PDF’s but this is the way that brings across the most information).
- Make an A3 PDF using a layout program (such as InDesign), considering placement of elements on the page.
- Your A3 PDF should include Title and architect of your building, some text about your building, (include the reference of where you obtain your text from), 4 image captures, 1 x 10 second animation, 3D model with 3 named and saved views, your name.
- Upload the single page PDF to a file sharing site, and include an image of your poster and a link to your PDF on your blog.
- Get feedback from your tutor on your poster design and the analytical element of your building that you are exploring.
- For independent study, explore the analytic element that you have chosen, and extend your 1 Page PDF from class into a 2 page A3 PDF using relevant images, interactivity and animations, where the first page is the general information of your building/architect (that you created during studio) and the second page is an in depth analysis of the important aspect of the building you are exploring. You may want to refine your PDF from studio to “fit” better with your 2 page poster.
- Post all analytical research to your blog.
- Upload the refined 2 page PDF to a file sharing site, and include images of your poster and a link to your PDF on your blog.
- Your tutor will give you a mark out of 10 in Week 8 Studio.
