Development of Ideas with visual research

Last week we worked on our map mind to get different ideas of what we would like our design to look like or to know what we wanted to include in the design of our structures.

This week we worked on developing those ideas to work on the concept of our projects. To do that, we took one of our initial ideas from the map mind as a starting point and chose one of the images handles to us by our tutor.


Giacomo Balla, Velocity of an Automobile, 1913

I chose this image to develop my idea because it contains multiple lines going in various directions which creates various angular geometric shapes. As showed in my mind map, I aim for the design of my structure to be made of angular geometric forms.


For the first Idea I worked with the rectangles which are in the back of the perspective. The lines made me think of windows so I came up with this idea.






For the second idea I got inspired by the shape of these particular lines and the triangles formed by the shape toward the end of the image.

The lines made me think of a bow tie and from that I started sketching small buildings design inspired by that and finally came up with this design which reminds me of half of a bow tie.








After having these ideas in, I chose one of the two to develop further into a creating study. For that, I chose the second idea.

I tried to think about what the result could be If I mixed the forms of the initial drawing differently and once I had the shape I added origami design to the structure to make it more interesting


For the second drawing I decided to only work with the triangle part of the design and see what a mix of different triangles could give me. For the bottom part I went with a rather simple design and simple glasses then combined it with two other triangles to which I added lines to represent wood on the windows( inspired from the first development idea)



for the third idea, I went back to the image of Giacomo Balla in which I got inspired by these lines

And with the inspiration from the second creation study I came up with this design which I think is simple but very effective and could be worked on to make it better

I will continue to work on these ideas and to make them better and come up with my final design for next week.

  1. Tania, this is much better - well thought and good use of the development image you chose, particularly like the focus on each aspect of the painting and how it has impacted on your design ideas. Looking forward to seeing what you do with these ideas next.

Eunine Fay Jones - Research

E. Fay Jones was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, USA on January 31, 1921. He spent his childhood in the rural Ozark Mountains, where he gained love for nature and the environment, which had an impact on his architectural designs later in life. After completing his studies at Rice University, he joined Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural practice, Taliesin Associated Architects, as an apprentice. He worked closely with Wright on several projects, including the renowned Taliesin West in Arizona (Compton, 2023). Fay Jones E. Fay Jones is famous for his natural architectural style, which includes integrating buildings with the environment, using materials like stone and wood, and incorporating geometric shapes inspired by nature. "Jones ignored architectural trends and instead focused on his own organic aesthetic with materials found in The Ozarks and familiar traditional forms from his home region"(mariathuroczy, 2013) .  One of his design that has inspired me for this project...

Multi-faith centres and religious spaces

Multi-faith  centres are inclusive spaces that encourage dialogue, understanding, and collaboration among people from various religious backgrounds. They   provides a space where people of differing religious beliefs can spend time in contemplation or prayer  (Center for Architecture, 2023) .  These spaces promote diversity and unity through shared values and interfaith harmony. They provide a neutral setting for worship, dialogue, and community-building, contributing to inclusivity. The significance of these centres in promoting inclusivity and diversity lies in their celebration of diverse religious traditions and encouragement of interaction among different faiths. They also foster open dialogue to break down cultural and religious barriers through shared spaces and activities, as well as promote the idea that diversity is an asset by providing a space where all faiths are respected  (KAICIID, 2020).  Understanding diverse cultural and rel...

Final major project: Digital software

 For my project I will use SketchUp to help me achieve my final design. SketchUp is an easy 3D modelling programme . SketchUP landscape design SketchUp is a really handy software for landscape architects and designers who want to create playground designs. It has many useful features and advantages that are specifically designed to meet their requirements. Here are some reasons why SketchUp is a great option for for this task: 1. User friendly interface  The interface of SketchUp is well-known for being easy to use and understand. Beginners and professionals alike can easily navigate the workspace and utilise the simple tools. Even if you are new to it, you can quickly grasp the basics and start creating 3D models without any difficulties. 2. 3D modelling capabilities SketchUp is great at creating detailed 3D models. It helps designers visualise playground layouts, equipment, and landscaping elements in a realistic three-dimensional space. The software has precise modelling to...
