Ten Days Workshop :Self Portrait & Three Days Workshop:Situation Drawing


Ten Days Workshop :Self Portrait

--As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands.A description of Zaira as it is today should contain all Zair's past.The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains i like the lines of a hand,written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the flags,every segment marked in turn with scratches,indentations,scrolls.--Referance from INVISIBLE CITIES ITALO CALVINO--

Three Days Workshop:
Situational Drawings
From:uLA [Bryan Cantely + Kevin O'Donnell]

Think Quick/Draw Quick/Done Quick

Day 1: 4 Drawings

A.Page Structure
1.Tape down a large format paper to your desk
2.Use adjacent situations to project a "Structure" on the paper

B.Object Deconstructing
1.Find and locate a semi-complex component.
2.Construct two sections and elevations of the component.

C.Post Occupancy Graphics
1.Generate a set of graphic information system

D.Page Structure
1.Locate a page that has "Native print" markings.
2.Use the original format to establish a geometry of the markings.
3.This will serve as a "Structural idea" for the SURFACE of the page.

Day 2: 2 Drawings
1.Context drawings: combine page structure and occupancy graphics and native print into one as a site/context.
2.Hybrid Drawings : Begin with the object drawing and introduce the information behind or before the section or elevation.

Day 3.1: Observatory of Situational Drawing
Start to explore through the context drawings that you create by cutting section or whatever method, to realize the ability or potential of the structure, and emerged the object into the context as observatory for exploring situational drawings.

Day 3.2: Final Tweak and Narratives
