This document outlines a design project for students to explore transforming 2D elements into 3D forms. It consists of two parts. Part 1 involves students creating a 3D artwork based on a given word to represent the word through design elements and principles. Students will go through a process of exploring shapes, colors, and materials to represent the word. Part 2 involves students creating a miniature 3D display box for a Lego toy. They will apply design principles and go through a design process. The project aims to help students understand and apply design elements, principles, and processes through practical assignments. It provides objectives, learning outcomes, methodology, tasks, assessment criteria, and references.

- 1. 1 SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, BUILDING & DESIGN Research Unit for Modern Architecture Studies in Southeast Asia Foundation of Natural Build Environment (FNBE) INTRO TO DESIGN - ARC30205 Prerequisite: None Lecturers: Ms Delliya Mohd Zain, Ms Sufina Abu Bakar and Mr Fariz Hilmi Project 2 TRANSFORMING 2D – 3D – The Miniature Toy Display 25% Individual + 15% Group Work (out of the 100% overall marks) Project 2A – Presentation and Submission Date: 7th November 2014 Venue CODA Project 2B - Presentation & Submission Date: 12th December 2014 Introduction The aim of Project Two is for the students to explore the transformation from 2D elements to 3D form. The first part students will be playing with the shapes, forms, colours, and materials and transforming it into a 3D art piece to suite a certain given word or phrase. Students are required to explore the given words and translate it into design elements and then to 3D art work. The end product will be a 3D artwork that instantly reflects the given word. In the second part of this project, individually student will create a miniature 3D box display for their Lego character miniature toy implementing the design elements, principles and design process. This display box will be supported by presentation boards. Objectives of Project The objectives of this project; 1. To form a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles, elements and design process at an appropriate level. 2. To apply skills and basic knowledge acquired to a range of assignments, to which they will be required to deliver visual and verbal reports, production of presentation, observation, and gathering of information Learning Outcomes of this Project On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to demonstrate the following: 1. To be able to explain the application of basic design elements and design principles in simple projects. 2. To be familiar with the design process, investigation, observation and interpretation in simple projects ITEM ONE - *Ms Delliya Zain, Miss Norma Sulaiman & Miss Anna Kamelia ITEM TWO *31st Dec 2014
- 2. 2 Tasks - Methodology PART 2A – MOOD CUBE This is a group project and it requires the students to follow the following instructions and schedule. The main task is to translate the given words into shapes and forms and using the right principles into 3D form. Students will need to first understand and explore the given words. Then they will need to go through 3 stages of transformation that will be executed during tutorial class. The first process is to get the 3D form(s) that reflect the given word using plain white model boards. The second stage, the best 3D model from the first stage will then go through a colouring process to choose the best suited colour for the 3D to reflect the word. The third stage students are required to use different type of materials to make the selected 3D that best reflects the word. (Week 9, 10 and 11) For the final submission and presentation, students are required to produce the “FINAL 3D MODEL” that best reflect the given word combining or selecting the best method and materials that was explored during the tutorial sessions. For the final submission students are also required to prepare some simple explanation boards. Please refer to the given guidelines for the final presentation. WEEK 8 – Understand the word Students will randomly accept one of the following words. Students then need to understand and explore these words. It is best to prepare mind maps, find definitions, doodles and sketch out the possible forms, find the best images online to represents this words etc. (Choose the type of form, shape and principles that best represents the word). Please do this before the next tutorial class so that it will be easier to start making the models. Bring in the research documentations etc and the proposed shapes or forms to the next tutorial class. Do think about 2-3 different types of shapes to represent your word or its actions. PROVOKE VIBRATE TANGLED VIGOROUS MERGE CRASH WEEK 9 – Transforming the word into 3D Students are required to bring your research and understanding of the given words on A4 paper, blades, glue, masking tape, steel ruler, drawing boards, stationeries, butter paper for sketching, grid paper, cutting mat, three white model boards, sandwich foam board (as the base) and plastic bag for rubbish. During tutorial session students are required to come up with 3 different models to express the given word. Students are required to cut the desired organic or geometric shapes or form or planes etc from the model boards. At the end of the class we will choose the best model to bring forward to the next session. Students are required to prepare the base for all of the three 3D models. 150mmx150mm using the sandwich foam board. The 3D model should stick or be constructed on this base and maximum height is 150mm. This is a rough example of what you will need to do; *systematic *conflict *deteriorate *desire *intersect *exaggerating * WEEK 10 * WEEK 10
- 3. 3 WEEK 10 – Playing with colours to enhance the word Students are required to bring 3 new sets of the selected 3D (it could be in pieces or fixed), paint and brush etc, blades, glue, masking tape, steel ruler, drawing boards, stationeries, butter paper for sketching, grid paper, cutting mat, three white model boards, sandwich foam board (as the base) and plastic bag for rubbish. During tutorial session students are required to come up with 3 different models with colours to express the given words. Students are required to do their own research before coming to tutorial class. You are allowed to use maximum 4 colours only. One of the models must be monochrome. Students are required to prepare the base for all of the three 3D models. 150mmx150mm using the sandwich foam board. The 3D model should stick or be constructed on this base. You may colour the base if necessary. WEEK 11 – Expressing the word using materials Students are required to bring 3 type of suitable materials please consult your tutor, wires, wire cutter, blade, glue, masking tape, steel ruler, drawing boards, stationeries, butter paper for sketching, grid paper, cutting mat, three white model boards, sandwich foam board (as the base) and plastic bag for rubbish. During tutorial session students are required to come up with 3 different models using the different types of materials to express the given words. Students are required to do their own research before coming to tutorial class. Model one: Wire Frame Model two: One material only Model three: Mix material No colouring or painting allowed. The material must be at its original colour. WEEK 12 – Produce the best model After going through the transformation process, students are required to create the “FINAL MODEL” that best suit the given word. Students may choose any material or technique that they have done during the previous tutorial session but students are not allowed to change the shape or form that has been selected from week 9. The final model base will be 300mmx300mm and the maximum height would be 300mm. For tutorial purposes students are required to show the draft models and the presentation boards. For presentation students are required to prepare as follows, it will be set on a table or on the floor flat. The 150x150mm model The 150x150mm boards to explain about the Model made The 300x300mm board to explain about the concept and the FINAL MODEL. The 300x300mm of the FINAL MODEL. The plain models - The colored models - The “material” models - Presentation boards and FINAL MODEL - * WEEK 11 * WEEK 12 * WEEK 13 - PRESENTATION
