Architectural Projection
RISD Architecture, Fall 2017
In Architectural Projection, I observed, measured, and analyzed a glass vessel in a 12” by 12” laboratory in both physical and digital world. From that process, I learned the principle of orthographic projection, axonometric projection, and parallel projection.
Observing: unfold the glass vessel on two dimensional plane from two fixed perspectives.
Measuring: reconstruct the glass vessel with negative space.
Unfolding: Orthographic Projection
Mapping Shadows and Light: constructing shadow in real life from a fixed light source.
Environmental Laboratory: measuring the path of light through reflection and refraction of glass and water.
Building Projection:
Light could be a useful tool to unfold a three dimensional object onto two dimensional plane. By working backward, I mapped the two dimensional image to a three dimensional object and created a new “vessel”.
