Workshop 6 - Submission 1

Workshop 6 required us "from narrating an individual personal experience to studying an existing project and finally exploring and communicating ideas and the 'story' of your own current project".

So the exercise we needed to do in week 1 was "storyboarding a personal experience within specific interior spaces" and the building I chose was the chemical engineering building in UNSW, as I usually have lunch inside. The drawings are shown below:

Sequence:        1        2         3

                       4        5         6

                       7        8         9

1. I entered the door of the building from the carpark, then I walked in
2. The first thing I saw on the left was the mirror, the sink and the cabinet, that is the place where I usually sit and enjoy lunch
3. I ignored the dining room on the left and keep walking, then I can see the surrounding was almost dark with a bright rectangle at the front, that is the door for access
4. I kept walking and looked at a dusky place then I discovered the stairs to access both up and down the building
5. I ignored the stairs again and kept walking until I found another way on my left, which is open onto a laboratory
6. So I continued my way of walking, and finally I went through the door and find a path on my right leading to the other side of the building, also the glass walls showing the lower level of the building.
7. I looked at the 10 o'clock direction and I saw the stairs giving upward access
8. I looked further left and I saw another door which I can leave the building through
9. But I ignored all of those ways of access and leave from the front door, then I looked back and I can see the "Chemical Science" sign locating on the wall.

The vignette showed my experience of moving from a bright place into dusky place, and finally moving out under the Sun.

Reflection on my Drawing:

• Things need to improve:

1. There is lack of connection within each of the vignette, so it is really hard for one to understand the whole experience without explaination
2. The drawings are mainly drew with pencil, so the final product might be a bit murky to look at

• Things need to keep:

1. Find the perspective points before drawing
2. Do the drawing with a ruler to keep the lines straight
