Inspirational links for pattern concept development

I am posting these links with the belief that they will provide you with additional educational and inspirational resources. Please visit them for your pattern concept development. Also do not forget to take a look at the list provided in the brief and do your own research, there are some really good books in LRC! I really hope you enjoy your research.

Introduction:

'Materials, structure, detailing’ focuses on the construction and how the detailing of the design is accomplished through consideration of the materials and structure required to realise the finished design project.

Brief:

In order for interior designers to make significant interventions within the construction of buildings, furniture or any spatial creation, it is necessary to have an understanding of the structural implications of any design and how materials respond to the required performance within the design. For example, the use of glass, either as a structural element or a glazing/decorative component, requires an appreciation of how glass behaves in different circumstances that can have serious implications for health and safety.

There is no substitute to actual practice for understanding materials and structure but in this project you will combine a selection of real/familiar building elements with textbook and tutorial assistance to produce detailing for proposed Retail Store Design concept (5CTA1040 Module). You will need to examine each area of proposed concept noting the structure, materials and components used in its construction. Further hand sketches and rough detail drawing should be used to develop the complete detail drawings.

Task:

You will need to deeply research materials and structure chosen for your proposed Retail store design concept. You will then be required to complete a set of drawings in VectorWorks to present  three different areas of proposed concept. Choose the scale appropriate for each detail for presentation on an A3 sheet. Details will be usually within the following range 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:10 and 1:20 for clarification of the context of the detail. You must produce a plan, elevation and section for each element and include a large-scale detail – 1:1 or 1:2 for each. Oblique, isometric, assembly/exploded views may be used where necessary.

Introduction:

To be an effective designer today, you need tools to quickly develop your designs and accurately communicate them to everyone in the product research, development, marketing, and manufacturing or construction process. 

Rhino is an extremely capable surface modeler which can help you to achieve best results in producing 3D models and visuals.
Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, scan data, or only an idea—Rhino provides the tools to accurately model and document your designs ready for rendering and 3D printing.

Brief:

The retail shop project is aimed at developing your knowledge and practice of Rhinoceros 3D application in design by creating a project that deals with an interior structure.

You will be given a plan of a corner retail premises on South Road, in London. Ideal shop location with lots of passing foot traffic in a popular area gives you a great opportunity to design a retail store of your dreams. You are required to consider an appropriate ‘theme of a shop’ from which to research and develop your concept, formulate the most effective retail shop design solution for your choice through sketching and 3D modeling.

Your design should have some aspect of PATTERNS influenced by organic shapes found in nature. Concept should be also based on a mix of opposites, such as contrast materials and proportions. Explore the relationship between body and space by creating a cellular structure of rhythm, repetition and sequence.

Task:

• Use the plan provided for creating a 3D model of a space using Rhino software.
• Work up your concept through sketch and 3D modelling

1.     Base your pattern on organic shapes found in nature

2.     Use at least two different contrasting building materials in your concept to represent your pattern. (Please refer to 5CTA1039 module)

3.     Use proportion contrast in your concept (large-small, broad-narrow, light-dark, etc.)

• Create at least 4 high quality visuals to present your final design

Teaching Method:

Studio tutorials in Rhinoceros 3D (80%), Vectorworks, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and  Adobe InDesign sessions (20%)
