Back perspective view

Detail view

The dog house based on modern

simplicity.

Usage of light yellow color and

wood to emphasize simplicity.

The dog house #2

Glance at detail

-wood framed-transparency glasses- Modern and simple-red & white colored wood to give contrast and fun to the original construction.

-Window reflecting the sky.-also nicely framed with the wood.

ReflectionStrength:

● Learned how to use basic functions

such as….

1. Be able to create flat square in custom size.

2. Successfully used “push” function to give volume.

3. Made out the windows by using “guide line” function.

4. Used coloring bucket to put up colors on the elements.

5. Bring out the component from the 3D Warehouse.

6. Save the scene as 2D graphic to make it as jpg file in order to upload in

the issuu.com

● Explored the Sketchup.

Challenges:

● It took a long time to figure out how to do guidelines and I need to

work more on it to get better of using it.

● I also need to work on color selection because I was not really good at

designing and confused of what color would fit great.

Risk

● Took a lot of my times to work on it. ● confused of the axes.● Almost lost during the lecture because my slow hands.

Week 2

Rapid Visualization

Crazy Cube Arrays In Space

Reflections

Strengths:

• Successfully create cube, transformed it into

a component, replicated multiple times to

create this complex array.

• Zoomed into the array, turned my shadows

on, and place several human figures for scale

to create a dramatic shot.

Challenges:

• I need to learn how to use rapid visualization

techniques to hand draw something similar

to what I produced in Sketchup.

“FOLLOW ME”

ReflectionsStrength:

• Created the well balanced circle in the place where I wished and

used the “follow me” button to make the object having a shape of

circle.

• On one successfully created object, drew another well balanced

circle and created the line that I wanted to put and then I went

straight forward to my “Follow me” button to create one more

object that follows the circles.

Challenges:

• I will need to practice more on making another followed-object

not just the circles and also on how I create the lines.

Risk

-Too many buttons in the solid Tool bar that I had to find where the function I am looking for. -hesitated at the moment if I was doing right.

MAKING THE STAIRS

PLAN VIEW IN PERSPECTIVE

PLAN VIEW

DETAILS

ReflectionStrength:

• Size up and draw the rectangular on the ground to create base object

for the stairs.

• Copy and paste the same rectangular to be placed and formed a stair

above on a first object

• Learned to make a component and create multiple more same

rectangular to be stairs.

• Add more on it and create a better form model using rotation, colors

etc.

Challenges:

• More effort on rotate the things and also prepare to create various

forms of stairs later. And never lose the will to practicing hand

drawing.

Risk

-Rotate the stairs into the wrong way.-Drove out my stairs underground.

Floor Pattern

Week 3

Stripe basic floor plan

Checkerboard floor plan

Latin style floor plan

polka dot floor plan #1

polka dot floor plan#2

oblique basic line floor plan

ReflectionStrength:

● No mistakes or problem in creating houses by using push function.

● I used layer function to hide the front wall of the house and later the other

houses to picture out one house.

● I figured out how I should draw out patterns in the floor for I did not know

how to use Sketchup yet.

● I learned by myself how to create circles or dot patterns or even oblique

patterns.

● First animation ever and it looks great.

Challenges:

● I have to become more creative to come up with different ideas except for all

those things. Hand drawing is really good when it comes with putting out the

ideas. So I will need to make sure to bring notebook anywhere to get the

ideas. More times and efforts need for me to build a basic house. Be sure to

know the sizes and construction.

Risk

-Sometimes got a headache for figuring out the patterns.-Getting so sensitive

Detail views

Perspective view in the Plaza

REFLECTIONStrength:

● Learned to draw the circles and how it can create

different shapes of all.

● Remembered to show the processes.

● I was able to set up many scenes for my animation and it

became better than floor pattern animation because of

practices and efforts.

● Successfully made out 9 scenes and 9 layers.

Challenges:

● More understanding on follow me skills and rotating.

Since observation is really important when we do inspired

work, I should be more careful on create and erasing the

lines that I don’t need. With one stupid mistake I would

be blew all the things that I did.

Malevich Inspired Construction

Week 4

Plan view

Front perspective view Back perspective view

Placed of red color in main structure to point that it is inspired by Malevich’s work.

Light pink and white color match up perfectly on red color and makes it more naturally observed by people.

DETAIL VIEW ONE BY ONE

5’ deck to give more detail and transparency window in checkerboard

form.

Changing of original form to make it fancier.

One of the parts that inspired by Malevich

ReflectionStrength:

● Being able to use x-ray function to copy the lines of original work.

● Successfully added up more details such as in previous page.

● Learned how to use “divide” and made a transparent windows in checkerboard form.

● Bring out the background picture to give better look.

Challenges:

● I see my weakness in choosing of colors and it must be improved.

● Play with Sketchup more times to get done the detail work.

● The skills of placing trees and use of 3d warehouse model should be developed in order to create beautiful scene overall.

Generic Wall Type


Week 5

Rapid Visualization

Plan viewGeneric Wall Type

ReflectionStrength:

● Be able to construct simple walls and transform them into a different

shapes so that I can create various walls.

● Successfully used “‘offset” form or “push” tool to give a differentiate.

● Also found out the usage of “divide” in efficient way.

● Made a dorm shape and intersect it with other element.

Challenges:

● Sometimes wall came out to be weirdly that when I erase up the

specific line it would erase up everything. I think it is because of how

I didn’t really be organized and neat in draw out the element.

● I need to break out from the straight thinking and have to be in a

more creative way.

First transformation

Right Left

Transformation of original square through intersection with four small squares.

The Patterned glasses around the empty spaces make them looks like windows.

The original square intersects with cone shape creating a space where person actually can get in.

Second transformation

Transformation with

cylinder + dome shape.

Third Transformation

Transformation withHexagonal cylinder + cone shape.

Designed like plantarium

ReflectionStrength:

● I learned how to use “intersect” function to successfully combine

two different models into one form.

● Be able to make different shapes of things such as dome, sphere,

cone, hexagonal cylinder, and cylinder.

● I think there was improvement using the shadows to play around

the model.

Challenges:

● I should be more creative to play around all different shapes so that

when I become professional architect, I can use all the shapes to

figure out what I am trying to make.

● More practice in arrange the two different shapes before

intersection.

RISK

-Sometimes blew out whole thing because of mistaken lines.

Design transformation #2


Week 6

Six different transformations

ReflectionStrength:

● I was able to combine more objects freely than before.

● Learned to see other aspects.

● I also realized what I will need to combine by

transformation the two things in order to create what I

designed.

Challenges:

● There were some empty spaces I erased up for mistakes

and it needs to be improved.

● More practices requiring for dramatic viewing.

Positive factors

-I can form up the different types of objects such are very

unique and unusual.

-Getting more into the Sketchup.

Paper Airplane Floatilla

Front view

Details & analyzation

The little gap brings out the detail of the real paper airplane.

the lines above show the steps of folding the thing as same as we do to paper when we want to create airplane.

The gray tone fogs hiding the back low airplanes almost into invisible status.

It gives more sensation like a reality by how shadows and fogs are combining together forming a different view.

ReflectionStrength:

● Started from the rectangular flat shape, succeed in

creating the airplanes by folding up step by step.

● Duplicate the first airplanes and placed them as a

triangular formation to be shown as more dramatic.

● Learned to use fog function and placed the gray tone

fog.

Challenges:

● Have fun with fogs to create different views.

● I should be practicing on folding without Jerry’s

help.

Positive factors:

-I can also create something that I can also fold with

paper.

-I started to think creatively how I can create the thing

that I want.

Folding and Transforming

ReflectionStrength:

● Successfully folded the rectangles to create same sizes of

rooftops.

● Learned to elevated each of them so that rooftops are

aligned in a size where person can go through.

● I made columns that support the rooftops and change

their shapes with using “scale” function.

● Placed the Steve in a best place where shadow is perfectly

fit and captured it out making the best shot.

Challenges:

● More practice is needed to fold the things in a way that I

would like to do so.

● I will play around more with scale tool so I can figure out

more columns different than what I made.

Folding Simple Lattice Panel

ReflectionStrength:● Was able to understand folding function better than

before.● Successfully created lattice panel by folding and offset

the edges to create empty spaces of the panel.● Played around with 3d warehouse which can decorate

my lattice panel and make a visualization of my imagined space usage.

Challenges:● Do more of activities on using fold function to draw my

visualization in Sketchup more efficiently. ● Draw out more ways in my head to transport the lattice

panel.

ReflectionStrength:

● Knew more about how to fold the things and create

other things with it.

● I realized that I can also put up harder and bigger

columns that can support them just like a bridge

with a roofs.

● Choose the best routine to make my scene for best

animation, and succeed it.

● Also successfully made out the door in columns so

that person can go or see through it.

● Learned to change the styles and used background

and ground section of style function to change the

sky and ground color. (tried to express the sunset)

Challenges:

● New to experiencing how to make fence out of

follow me tool and I need more practice.

● Use more in style section to create different views

with sketchy or watercolor themes.
