Assignment 7: COLOR & MATERIAL

OBJECTIVES

To develop the community center from the part to the whole.

To understand the power of interior finishes in determining perceptions

DESCRIPTION

Develop a room or space in your project that enhances community. Think about how the architectural elements can embody the spirit of gathering. Consider what form of embeded technology could enhance activities you envision.

Develop the idea through sketches and narrative methods. Create a computer model of the room. Through 3 variations, show how color, light and material can shape atmosphere.

Either sketch people in the space or incorporate them into your digital model, thinking carefully about how different characters would use the space.

REFLECTION

WORDS: To flesh out the picture, explain your concept verbally and diagrammatically. Choose one of the three to display at a larger scale and say what factors make it stronger.

Your webpage must include 3 rendered images, explanatory text and at least one image with people interacting in the room.
