Project 1 – Wall Project Outline for Monday
Two-Word Title (Affect + Material Variation)
Purpose Statement (paragraph of 3 sentences):
- What affect does the project have on people and who does it affect?
- What are three conditions of the affect and how are they accomplished with the material variation?
- Why is it important?

Measuring Affect Experiment: experiment with a real-world precedent. Measure with a ruler, light meter (phone sensor/app), sound meter (phone sensor/app), etc. Diagram this, hardlined pencil on trace/vellum. Name emergent 3-5 conditions of the quality. Use 1) your own human experience and 2) consider inclusive design for various types of people. What is the variation (ex. height, depth, thickness, etc).
Affect conditions:
Plans
- (3) cut at 2.5ft, 5.0ft and 7.5 ft above the ground. Scaled 1″ = 1′-0″. Pencil on trace.
- series of 7 sections at 1/8″ (see Miralles Pinos drawings)
Sections
- (3) cut at key different conditions. Scaled 1″ = 1′-0″. Pencil on trace.
- series of 7 sections at 1/8″ (see Miralles Pinos drawings). **This should inform the “assembly model” below.
***All drawings should be NEATLY drawn with careful differences of line weight (cut, change of plane and line beyond) and line types (solid, dashed, dash dot, centerline)
Affect via Material Assembly:
- Assembly: test assembling 3-5 conditions of assembly of the final model materials (see assignment). Scaled 1″ = 1′-0″. Do NOT model the whole wall. Test conditions. Do they work? What did you learn from the Lawrence Shop Visit?
- General Model: Test various conditions of the entire wall. Scaled 1″ = 1′-0″. Any material. Be conscious of additive technique vs subtractive technique.

Two-Word Title: Shaping Light
Purpose Statement (paragraph of 3 sentences):
The wall uses geometric shapes to create spaces for human interaction. The effect created by the shapes is the creation of spaces for humans to inhabit, invite people to utilize them, as well as spaces that connect the indoors to the outdoors. The use of glass allows light to pass through and create shapes as well as the carving of the wall material to create shadows in the absence of light. It is important for the shapes to be created because it defines the purpose and usage of the space
