Photo and Virtual Documentation GuidelinesThese are guidelines for developing effective visual documentation of work For documenting digital models use a different graphic language for process versus presentation images For process images show clear layering of materials or elements by color (ie not a monolithic gray model) For presentation images pay attention to lighting and the layering of linework and shaded surfaces Clearly annotate images Iterative options should be taken from the same perspective orientation

For photos use a neutral background for assignment artifacts (no visual noise such as room background desk top items etc) For artefacts intended to operate at scale (ie the simulation of a room) do not include information that will give away its actual size (ie the wood grain of a desktop) For artefacts intended to be seen at full scale include an object to show scale (hand coin ruler etc) so we can engage the illusion of inhabiting the image For a series of study iterations take photos from the same angle in order to accurately compare one image to another Use crisp clear lighting without obscuring shadows or washouts Use registration markers (a gridded or graduated background) if you are showing incremental changes For process images limit visual lsquonoisersquo in the background Adjust images in a photo-editing software balancing - at minimum - levels exposure

1 ManipulatingDue 230 pm (ATL) Jan 19

ldquoArchitects do not build buildings they make the drawings and models from which buildings are made Take for instance a Scottish waller and a Native American basket weavermdashwhat do they share The medium in which each works is intimately tied to the thing that is producedmdashthey are inseparablerdquo

- Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoRepresentationrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

In this assignment you will practice manipulating reading and representing three-dimensional space with digital modeling and graphic representation tools You will start with a step-by-step exercise to prepare your software and file sharing configurations in order to successfully execute and submit your assignments for the term You will then complete a simple three-dimensional modeling exercise and reflect on the exercise outcomes This will prepare you to use these tools for generating architectural analysis and developing architectural concepts

2 Observing Due 230 pm (ATL) Feb 9 [Note This is a PassFail submission]

ldquoThe synthesis of an analysis often leads to the production of an intermediary device an artifact that is subsequently open to multiple interpretations This device is in effect a lsquoprearchitecturalrsquo moment It can take the form of a drawing or model and it is a suggestive and interpretable representation that has the ability to shift in both scale and orientation so that it can be conceptually mined in multiple waysrdquo

- Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoAnalysisrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

Working with the context of Lunenburg Nova Scotia and the base documentation provided you will create an ldquointermediary devicerdquo built from an analysis of an architectural condition in the town You will be introduced in lecture to different methods of reading city form figure ground datum and underlying geometry You will then apply these readings to a typical building developing an analytical model of its spatial form You will use the digital tools covered in Assignment 1 to develop this analysis

3 TransformingDue 230 pm (ATL) Mar 2

ldquoArchitecturersquos capacity for transformation can sponsor alternative programs inhabitations appearances and performancesrdquo

- Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoTransformationrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

Working with your analysis results (or ldquointermediary devicesrdquo) from ldquoObservingrdquo you will practice methods transforming architectural form with contemporary digital tools You have already practiced with methods of digital modeling In this assignment you will be introduced to rule-based or algorithmic transformations of architectural form You will then experiment with a rule-based transformation to your intermediary device from Assignment 2 creating a new iteration of the device

4 VisualizingDue 230 pm (ATL) Mar 16

ldquoIt is the manipulation of form through an understanding of the shadows that are cast that registers the generative presence of lightrdquo

- Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoLightrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

ldquoMaterials carry meanings through embodying traditional materials methodologies and rituals of construction as well as through the less tangible aspects of the uniqueness of place program and culturerdquo

- Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoMaterialsrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

In this assignment you will experiment with the effects of light and material to create a perspectival and or axonometric visualization of your intermediary device from Assignment 3 You will be introduced to principles of perspective and axonometric visualization as well as principles of light shadow color hue and texture Using these principles you will experiment with visualizing effects of light and material with your analysis transformation This assignment will introduce you to a basic rendering workflow

5 SharingDue 230 pm (ATL) Mar 23

ldquoIt is through dialogue that everyone becomes an architectrdquo - Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoDialoguerdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

ldquoA presentation will amplify the most important readings of a work directed toward a specific audiencerdquo - Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoPresentationrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

Itrsquos likely that through the steps of Observing Transforming and Visualizing your project established a common theme and that it shares this theme with other projects in the course In this assignment you and your classmates will identify some of these themes and create categories that multiple projects share You will then gather the files from your own assignments and organize them into common folders to create a shared resource for making a final presentation This presentation will likely be a small booklet collecting shared observations and translations of Lunenburgrsquos built environment You will build on skills and tools from this term to consider questions of formatting media hierarchy and dialogue within your project and between groups of projects

6 SketchingDue 230 pm (ATL) Tuesdays [Note This is a PassFail submission]ldquoIn an architectural drawing the weight of the line establishes a link to its role in constructing architectural space A very light line might reference an underlying geometry or set of dimensional relationships A darker heavier line might establish the importance of a primary wall in defining the limits of the space or the surface of the ground from which a volume is emerging It is the range and relationships of these lines within a drawing that can establish the complex contextual spatial proportional and dimensional relationships that are embedded within the development of an architectural conceptrdquo

- Simitch Andrea and Val Warke 2014 ldquoRepresentationrdquo in The Language of Architecture 26 Principles Every Architect Should Know Rockport Pub

You will keep a regular sketchbook for the course Sketches will be brief visual lsquocalisthenicsrsquo to train your eye and hand while you build competencies with digital platforms Once you have completed your sketch

Lectures and Videos Lectures Subject to revision

1 RepresentationThis lecture introduces course concepts of Representation and Digital Representation especially as it relates to the architectural imagination Characteristics and types of digital representation are discussed including fundamental concepts of 3D modeling

2 AnalysisThis lecture introduces course topics of Lunenburg and building types and basic concepts and methods of architectural analysis This includes a discussion of abstraction and the relationship of geometry to social organization and communication urban form human proportions and historical context The lecture concludes with a step-by-step analysis of type and how this may aide in the development of an ldquointermediary devicerdquo for architectural thought and action

3 TransformationThis lecture seeks to evolve ideas about type especially in regards to rule-based development or evolution of form It discusses the pros and cons of lsquotypologicalrsquo thinking and asks what types of objects spaces ideas and practices fall between established types This sets up a discussion of how ldquointermediary devicesrdquo can transform to accommodate diverse influences and information

4 VisualizationThis lecture addresses qualities of perception and how architects have explored building type and analysis from the inside-out from a first-person as opposed to third-person perspective This touches on facets of digital visualization including perspective lighting color and materials

5 DialogueThis lecture addresses how architects have shared their work publicly and with each other especially with regards to digital media It seeks also to begin to suggest how architects make connections across different projects and analyses to assist in the coursersquos ambition to identify connections across various analysis studies

VideosA series of short videos are shared below to expand on concepts covered during the course These are architectural historians theorists andor practitioners speaking about their work or the work of others This is to help contextualize our work within the broader discipline and give a firsthand perspective on how other people do and see the work of architectural representation

Lectures and Videos Lectures Subject to revision

1 RepresentationThis lecture introduces course concepts of Representation and Digital Representation especially as it relates to the architectural imagination Characteristics and types of digital representation are discussed including fundamental concepts of 3D modeling

2 AnalysisThis lecture introduces course topics of Lunenburg and building types and basic concepts and methods of architectural analysis This includes a discussion of abstraction and the relationship of geometry to social organization and communication urban form human proportions and historical context The lecture concludes with a step-by-step analysis of type and how this may aide in the development of an ldquointermediary devicerdquo for architectural thought and action

3 TransformationThis lecture seeks to evolve ideas about type especially in regards to rule-based development or evolution of form It discusses the pros and cons of lsquotypologicalrsquo thinking and asks what types of objects spaces ideas and practices fall between established types This sets up a discussion of how ldquointermediary devicesrdquo can transform to accommodate diverse influences and information

4 VisualizationThis lecture addresses qualities of perception and how architects have explored building type and analysis from the inside-out from a first-person as opposed to third-person perspective This touches on facets of digital visualization including perspective lighting color and materials

5 DialogueThis lecture addresses how architects have shared their work publicly and with each other especially with regards to digital media It seeks also to begin to suggest how architects make connections across different projects and analyses to assist in the coursersquos ambition to identify connections across various analysis studies

VideosA series of short videos are shared below to expand on concepts covered during the course These are architectural historians theorists andor practitioners speaking about their work or the work of others This is to help contextualize our work within the broader discipline and give a firsthand perspective on how other people do and see the work of architectural representation

GlossarySubject to revision

Additive form TBD (Ching FSO)

AlgorithmldquoIn the context of digital design an algorithm is a series of clearly defined instructions that enable a computational procedure to be carried out Algorithms are intrinsic to digital design software with different platforms enabling varying degrees of potential interaction with the computer script itselfrdquo (Dunn 2012)

Axonometric projectionA type of orthographic projection where the plane or axis of the object depicted is not parallel to the projection plane such that multiple sides of an object are visible in the same image It is a type of parallel projection used to create a pictorial drawing of an object where the object is rotated along one or more of its axes relative to the plane of projection

Boolean logic ldquoThis type of algebra underpins computational programs machine code and assembly languages and differs from the more commonly used elementary algebra since it specifically deals with the values 0 and 1 These may be thought of as two integers or as the ldquotruthrdquo values false and true respectively In either case they are referred to as binary digits or bits in contrast to the decimal digits 0 through to 9rdquo (Dunn 2012)

Central ProjectionCentral projections are projections from one plane to another where the first planersquos point and the image on the second plane lie on a straight line from a fixed point not on either plane1

The projecting rays pass through one point called the center of projection also known as the station point (or vantage point) This is essentially the reference point from which all the lines and projections in the problem are related to The station point can be high (birdrsquos eye view) or low (wormrsquos eye view) It is the base point (the most important point) to understand and generate the composition of the subject

A drawing of the outlines of forms or objects An outline drawing depicts the outer edges of a person or object without interior details or shading

Descriptive DrawingThe branch of geometry concerned with the representation of three-dimensional object on a plane the basis of architectural and technical drawing

Developable surface

DrawingA form of visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium Instruments used include graphite pencils pen and ink inked brushes wax color pencils crayons charcoal chalk pastels various kinds of erasers markers styluses and various metals (such as silverpoint) An artist who practices or works in drawing may be called a draftsman or draughtsman The medium has been a popular and fundamental means of public expression throughout human history It is one of the simplest and most efficient means of communicating visual ideas The relatively easy availability of basic drawing instruments makes drawing more universal than most other media

Figure-groundTBD

Graphical projection A protocol by which an image of a three-dimensional object is projected onto a planar surface without the aid of mathematical calculation used in technical drawing Achieved by the use of imaginary ldquoprojectorsrdquo

meshes ldquoThese provide a method for generating complex geometry and are typically polygonal or polyhedral In either type the mesh approximates a geometric domain through an arrangement of ldquoverticesrdquo ldquoedgesrdquo and ldquofacesrdquo that combine to define the shape of the desired objectrdquo (Dunn 2012)

Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) ldquoNURBS is a mathematical model typically used in digital design for generating and representing curves and surfaces This type of curve provides both considerable flexibility and precision for handling both anlaytic and free-form shapes and provides an effective design tool for integrating complex geometry within architectural designrdquo (Dunn 2012)

Normal to a PlaneldquoA normal to a plane P (or a planar polygonal face) is a line perpendicular to all lines contained in the plane Prdquo (Pottmann 2007)

Oblique ProjectionA simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing pictorial two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects In oblique projections the parallel projection rays are not perpendicular to the viewing plane as with orthographic projection but strike the projection plane at an angle other than ninety degrees In both orthographic and oblique projection parallel lines in space appear parallel on the projected image The distortion created thereby is usually attenuated by aligning one plane of the imaged object to be parallel with the plane of projection thereby creating a true shape full-size image of the chosen plane

Orthographic Projection A means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions It is a form of parallel projection where all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane This projection ignores perspectival view of the eye where objects in the distance appear smaller than objects nearby

Parallel Projection

ARCH 3502 B2 Representation Winter 2021 Glossary

16 BACK TO CONTENTS

Projections that have lines of projection that are parallel both in reality and in the projection plane In parallel projection the lines of sight from the object to the projection plane are parallel to each other Within parallel projection there is an ancillary category known as ldquopictorialsrdquo Pictorials show an image of an object as viewed from a skew direction in order to reveal all three directions (axes) of space in one picture

parametric design ldquoParametric design enables the designer to define relationships between elements or groups of elements and to assign values expressions to organize and control those definitions It addresses constraints of traditional CAD operations asmdash instead of the designer interacting directly with individual design elementsmdash it creates a of relationships allowing elements to connect and build up the design The designer may at any time alter the values or equations that form the relationships between elements and the effects of these changes will be incorporated across the entire systemrdquo (Dunn 2012)

PerspectiveIn descriptive geometry the representation of a 3-dimensional object on a plane surface by projection of the object onto the plane from a point Perspective projection is a linear projection where three dimensional objects are projected on a picture plane This has the effect that distant objects appear smaller than nearer objects Graphical projection methods rely on the duality between lines and points whereby two straight lines determine a point while two points determine a straight line

Polygon and PolylineldquoA polygon (or polyline) is a figure that consists of a sequence of straight line segments called edges Adjacent edges meet in points called vertices We mainly use the term polygon for a closed figure and polyline otherwise However we could not strictly follow this rule because a control polygon (which is standard terminology in geometric design) need not be closedrdquo (Pottmann 2007)

Projection A transformation in which the image figure is obtained from the original figure (plane or 3-D) by drawing from the point of the original figure straight lines which are either parallel (parallel projection) or concurrent (central projection) and which intersect the image (picture) plane The figure is said to be projected onto the image plane
