Exercise 6 - Midterm Assignment

In this assignment, we made a double-sided relief with quadrilateral prisms made of white cardboard or styrofoam. the design should be approximately 1000 cm² from the top view.

First Week  (6 November - 9 November)

At the first studio work, I tried to make a small working model about the term of two sided relief. The top has more flat surface when bottom side has more complex and irregular quality.

                                                                                                                           

 In the second step, I used the first idea in an entire organization. My mistake is this design was like a pattern.
                                                                                                                                

Second Week  (13 November - 16 November)

In the third step, I wanted to make an organization with parallelograms and trapezoids. I tried to use them together to make a more complex shape and I created hexagons with three parallelograms and also two trapezoids. In the top, I grouped a hexagon in itself and I raised the center and made the group clear. However, in the bottom side, I grouped three hexagon shapes and raised the groups together but the amount I raised was not enough so my organization was not well read.

                                                                                                                            

Third Week  (20 November - 23 November)

In the previous phase, I was told not to use hexagonal groups. Because, it is very close group in itself so a get rid of it and started a very new idea. I grouped different shapes with different relationships. 

                                                                                                                           

My former idea was not a good one so I turned back to the parallelograms and trapezoids. I made a new organization using harmonious relationships between them. I grouped two parallelograms and a trapezoid in two different group types. Despite the longer hours I spent, my working model could not finish. I learn that I must use time more efficiently.

                                                                                                                                

Fourth Week (27 November)

In this final step, I use higher protrusions to improve my relief quality in one side and in the other side I use more smooth surface for each design element. when one side reflect rhythm, other side reflect hierarchy. The dimensions of the trapezoidal shape change on two surfaces.

Also we were expected to make diagrams and draw two plans and two sections of our models.
