Workshop 6 - Submission 2

The second submission required us to storyboarding the architectural spaces of a selected building in UNSW, and the one I selected was John Niland Scientia.

Through our vignettes, we need to illustrate the architectural intent, the space and the materiality etc. As the glass wall structure of the building is really attractive and outstanding through out the buildings, I tried three methods to show the transparency of the building:

The first one is using pencil drawing with lines, the second one the pen drawing with lines and the third one is using pencil drawing but in tones. After this I found the best method to emphasise the clearence and the transparency of the building is using pen drawing with lines, so the drawing is given below:

Sequence:

                    1           2             3

                    4           5             6

                    7           8             9

1.Firstly, I stood on the grass locating at the front of the Scientia and enjoyed this wonderful, special design.
2.Then I climbed up the stairs the walked closer to the Scientia, the Scientia at this location to me is huge and impressive.
3.I walked closer and closer until I saw the two automatic glass door for accessing the building.
4.I then chose the door on the left hand side and entered it.
5.Then I saw the stairs on my left hand side and I climbed up the stairs and enjoyed the view to the outside uni area.
6.I climbed up by approx 2 levels and I saw another glass made automatic door.
7.I turned right and saw the carpet and the supporting beam of the structure.
8.As I walked closer to the beam, I can see so many shadows of the supporting beam, which is amazing. Because of the glass made transparent ceiling, the light can shine in and give this beautiful shadows as shown.
9.I look further up and I can see lines and beams, and through gaps between lines, I can clearly see the cloud and the blue sky.

So the words to describe my journey are "shiny" and "transparent".

Reflection:
I do really appreciate the final product of my drawing, it looks clear and consistant, and the relationship between each vignette is also clearly shown. But as the drawing are full of straight lines to show the clearence of the building, I need to use the ruler to make each line straight, which lower down my efficiency a lot.
