Today we had our first warm-up. We need to sketch an elaborate ladder+chair composition.
After our lovely sketching we moved onto a 2 minute brainstorm sketch of objects found in nature. That object was going to be the inspiration for our Biomimetic paper structure. We designed everything from snake-like buildings to pumpkin inspired stadiums. Overall today was a nice introduction to the design aspects of the class. Today was the first day of school and the first time we have all been in the ARL building. Once we began class, we immediately were introduced to our teacher Mr.Walker and we started to talk about the class rules. We then received handouts that we need to sign and bring back by tomorrow. We were informed of some of the projects that we will be doing in class and we were able to see past projects completed by architecture students. We then had to build a tower that could hold the weight of a tennis ball. You had 10 index cards and tape that you could use. The tallest tower was the tower that won. |
