Architecture project maya
- 2. Requirements • Submit Assignments: 1. Proposal 2. Progress Reports 3. Finalized Project Documentation • Create an architecture form using Maya software • Attach textures on the digital 3D form • Merge the digital 3D form and 2D image using Photoshop • The design and concept must be considered the elements and principles of design (especially Unity / Scale / Proportion / Balance)
- 3. Unity • Unity is achieved when the whole is more important than the parts. More often, unity consists of many forms or objects brought together to construct a coherent whole.
- 4. Variety of Unity • Grid • Pattern • Color • Minimal
- 5. Grid Ludwig Mies van der Rohe with Philip Johnson, Seagram Building. New York. 1956-1958 3-dimensional grid is a unifying force. For example, the Seagram Building’s structure is a 3D matrix, it is a monolith.
- 6. Pattern The formal gardens of Versailles consist of many elements; tree, bushes, paths, and grass, and all in unique shapes. The symmetrical unifying pattern keeps the elements as a whole. Gardens at the Chateau de Versailles in France
- 7. Color Chefchaouen, Morocco Variety of colors on the blue wall serves as an antidote to a unity of the solid blue wall
- 8. Minimal Ryoanji, a Japanese Zen rock garden is unified by its rectangular framing format, monochrome pallet, and by its consistent elements (all natural rocks). Rock garden, Ryoanji temple, Kyoto Japan. 15c
- 9. Scale • The actual or relative dimensions of an object, or parts of an object in relation to one another • In the vocabulary of sculpture (or 3D art), scale and size are not synonymous. Size is normally thought of in terms of large and small - the relative dimensions of a thing. Size can be measured in units, but scale is more ambiguous.
- 10. Variety of Scale • Human Scale • Intimate Scale • Monumental Scale
- 11. Human Scale • The human scale is what we are used to. Our houses are typically built to this natural scale. We should feel comfortable walking through our doorways. The ceiling neither bumps our heads, nor is lost in the shadows.
- 12. Monumental Scale • Monumental scale is impressive. Our public buildings are monumental. This is a statement of hierarchy, highlighting their importance in our society. Those institutions represented by those buildings are bigger than us.
- 13. Intimate Scale • Intimate sizes are smaller than what is normal. These don’t shock you, but they are smaller than what we expect, being cocoon like.
- 14. Texture • Texture of a building is often the first opportunity for an architect to leave an impression. This skin encloses and shelters the interior spaces and is one of the key components that determines a building's personality. • A good texture in archtecture involves using exterior wall materials and designs that are climate-appropriate, structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

- 19. Balance • Dynamic vs Static • Symmetry vs Asymmetry
- 20. Dynamic vs Static • Architects can never forget that structures exist for human use, and they thus have to build with human perceptions in mind. As people see a structure, they think of it as either static or dynamic. • There is a place for both static and dynamic structures because of their effect on a viewer emotions. Static spaces are calming and dynamic spaces are exciting. Designers must consider the reaction they want to evoke with their structures.
- 21. Static • Static structures appear still and solid. For example, rectangular skyscrapers are static structures.
- 22. Dynamic • Dynamic structures draw the eye in movement to various parts of the composition; the whole cannot be taken in at a glance. Buildings that have curved or diagonal lines appear dynamic.
- 23. Symmetry vs Asymmetry • Architecture, as any compositional art, makes extensive use of symmetry. Across all cultures and in all time periods, architectural compositions are symmetrically arranged. • Asymmetry is the absence of symmetry of any kind. We can exploit asymmetry, using it to draw attention to areas in the design or to convey dynamism or movement. Asymmetry as the organising factor in Architecture is most commonly seen in modern architecture.
- 24. Symmetry • Architecture, as any compositional art, makes extensive use of symmetry. Across all cultures and in all time periods, architectural compositions are symmetrically arranged.
- 25. Symmetry • Symmetry is something that Islamic mosques, The facade of Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, a masterpiece of the Iranian architecture, built between 1602 – 1619

- 27. • Hindu temples, Sri Ranganathaswamy in Srirangam
- 28. • Gothic cathedrals. Beauvais Cathedral in Beauvais, France
- 29. Asymmetry • Asymmetrical designs are rhythmic and radiate a sense of activeness. When a designer or an Architect is making an asymmetrical design, they should take care that balance and harmony of the structure is maintained. This would help prevent visual chaos; which is very important if an Architect wants people to feel pleasant and react positively when they look at his designed structures.

- 34. Proportion • Your response to architecture depends heavily on the impression and the experience you have when walking into and around a space. An important thing to remember when creating such effects is proportion.
- 35. • The impression created by a narrow hallway is different from the impression of a cube-shaped room.
- 36. • Similarly, a space that is vast, but with low headspace, gives an entirely different impression from a space that, though small, has a high ceiling.

- 51. Proposal - Requirements • Site Analysis • Site Image • Design Brainstorming • Inspiration • Design Drawing Images (rough and precise)
- 52. Site Analysis Use Google Map and look for a specific site where you like to design an architecture and Describe the location following the list below • Site Location Detail: What address? • Vegetation: Any landscaping, greenery, shrubs, and open space? • Building Context: what style, period, state of repair are the surrounding buildings? • Views: where are the best views to and from the site. Which is the most likely feature aspect? • Noise and pollution: Is the site in a particularly noisy area? Or near industrial buildings that produce leves of pollution? • Weather: how does the weather affect the site? For example, Is it well shaded, exposed? • History of the site: list anything you can use to inform your design if the site sits in a conservation area or close to listed buildings you may need to go into more detail regarding cultural significance, historic significance
- 53. Site image • Attach the image of the site (*if it is possible, attach both images of the street view and overview) using Google Map • Ex.
- 54. Design Brainstorming • Building Context: what style, period, state of repair are the surrounding buildings? • Texture: what are surfaces and materials around the site? Considering the environment, how will the texture of the surface of your architecture unify the location? • Scale: Considering the location, what scale would be the appropriate for your concept? And why? • Balance: Is your architecture dynamic or static? Symmetry or Asymmetry? And why? • Proportion: how does the proportion of your architecture generate your originality or aesthetics? Imagine how visitors feel when they walk into your architecture. • Function: what is the function of the building?
- 55. Inspiration Inspiration: What architecture does influence your design? Quote one of architectures from the Introduction PowerPoint or one of well- known architetures with its image and describe the reason.
- 56. Design Drawing - rough • How is the shape from the front and side? Attach the image of your sketches. Ex.
- 57. Design Drawing • In Maya, you need PRECISE sketches from front, side, and top views. Use grid paper and concrete the proportion of the architecture design Attach images Ex.
- 58. Start using Maya! • Please see the instructions for Maya
