More Drawings!

These are my drawings i've handed in that havent been blogged yet, they all show different information about my hermitage. As you may have noticed already some of my drawings can be a bit abstract so i have written explanations about each drawing

what I wanted to highlight in this drawing was the two different spaces, one for working and the other for reclining. It's a bit hard to see in this image but I showed this by layering pieces of trace paper behind the areas i wanted to define.

In my section drawing I wanted to define old and new so i highlighted my hermitage design with white paper and this part of the drawing also has the most detail. I felt like i wasnt necessary to draw the existing building in so much detail as it is already in my other drawings and i wanted to avoid drawing the same thing over again.

In this drawing I wanted to display the use of light in my hermitage as light was a very important factor in my design. I have drawn the way light enters my hermitage in plan view, elevation, and in isometric, and each of these three drawings represents a different time of day (which is why they all have different backgrounds).

Drawing!

Elevations drawing

This post is mostly what I have done since the crit last week. I have added people and a scale to all of them but I'm not sure if I need people in my floor plan? I am still working on my section and perspective drawings...

'Study of Light' - By Charlene Wentzel

For the past couple of weeks my work towards this project has been at a stand-still however, Alvaro Siza has been an inspiration to me over the last few days and his work has influenced the way I want to use light in my hermitage.

This afternoon (with help from one of the masters students) I produced my own 'study of light'. I took two pieces of cardboard and positioned them in various ways so as to capture the light and shadows created. I will now take this information and use it to strategically place openings in my hermitage. These openings will predominantly provide light in my hermitage.

Recombination Model - Week 2 Charlene Wentzel

My recombination model has a lot of interesting different spaces which I will incorporate into my hermitage design. The image in the top right corner shows a sense of passing two strong and solid concrete structures, turning a corner, and walking into this very diverse space. My hermitage will be representative of this.

Descriptive Geometry - Charlene Wentzel

I found descriptive geometry extremely challenging in the first weeks of this assignment, hence why it has taken me so long to post. But I am very happy with these drawings and I think this makes a very interesting starting point for my hermitage design.
