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.

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...

St. Moritz by john Pawson : Research

 In this piece of research  will explore the St. Moritz church by John Pawson. I am writing about it because I am  gathering information for my architecture project which is a multi faith center and this church is one of my inspiration  St. Moritz church  St. Moritz Chapel, designed by John Pawson, is located in located in Augsburg, Germany. The artwork mirrors the peaceful beauty of the area and captures the interaction between nature and human influence in a harmonious manner. Pawson's minimalist style aligns with St. Moritz's cultural importance as a playground for the wealthy, combining modern simplicity with the traditional grace of the region. The piece embodies the attraction of this famous place, drawing from its special mix of sophistication and natural beauty. John Pawson is famous for his minimalist style, which emphasises simplicity, clarity, and a focus on the fundamental elements of design. The St. Moritz Chapel primarily uses white concrete, align...

Final major project: Form and function

       The primary function of my project is to allow children to have a good time outside in a safe and sustainable place. Creating spaces that are in harmony with the environment, using eco-friendly materials, and promoting practices that help preserve our natural resources  Sustainable Playground I am creating this playground because in my city (Kitwe, Zambia) we have plenty of parks but people do not use them as they are not user-friendly and as a result they are not safe or maintained. The playground is located near city centre, where the vegetation is dense and will allow the users to have fresh air. Having a sustainable playground in Kitwe will allow the children of the community to engage together in a safe environment.          Reference         s.c, C.I.-S.
