Stage 04
Assignment 04.01 – Affect
Project: The catwalk
You will design a small structure representing your fashion designer (brand).
It is a temporary space/building for fashion shows that adapts, relocates and reorients itself to changing environments, contests, places, views, use, and program.
Its contemporary conception engages materials and surface treatments.
You might consider:
- Your fashion item’s new grid as a regulating background;
- Your previous assignment on “7 elements assembly” (volumetrically, in plan, in section, constitutional elements, hierarchy, dominant and weakest elements);
- Patterns, all phases, particularly the assignment on “Structural patterns”.
Program:
Total area of building: 2100 sq.ft.
The total area should include:
Catwalk and sitting: 1000 sq.ft.
Backstage: 300 sq.ft.
Make-up/bathrooms: 150 sq.ft
Entrance: 100 sq.ft
Lounge/party room: 300 sq.ft.
Bathrooms: 150 sq.ft.
Jolly room: 100 sq.ft. (may vary)
Max exterior Height: variable from 12’ to 18’
Process
Starting from the previous assignment on “7 elements assembly” and from your fashion item’s grid, reconsider the assembly of your elements in plan and in 3D.
In your design, you must include:
Circulation systems. Diagrams of paths and transitions spaces serving the building inside and outside.
Entrance/exit options that establish relationships between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Diagram of densities (unit/voids). Combinations and spatial variety of solids and voids. Voids could be considered as surfaces (ex. ground floor garden, outdoor paths, open terrace or deck), or volumes (covered terrace, space underneath or above, voids within the building). You could involve the space below or above the volume, so that this space could pass underneath, flow into your building, or be treated vertically.
Façade treatment. Skin and structure. Structural patterns, cladding or sunscreens. Differentiated surfaces. You must integrate the Pattern’ exercise.
Parameters:
Modular dimensions; hierarchy of parts; adjacency of spaces; organizational possibilities;
Horizontal and vertical combinations of parts of the building;
Sectional interlocking possibilities;
Spatial relationships;
Commodity and delight — ease of entry into the building and circulation among the different zones; accommodation of natural light and airflow; views; generosity and sufficiency of space; surprises; unusual use of materials; surface manipulation.
Requirements
Process 2D drawings using Autocad 2009;
3d investigations and modeling using 3D studio Max;
Physical Model .

A03.04 – Structural patterns
Select only 1 (one) pattern, which you think is the more appropriate for this assignment. You may choose among all your patterns, including old and recent patterns’ transformations.
Your pattern will become the skin and structure of your building.
Draw your pattern in AutoCAD -2D and extend it to three adjacent faces (horizontal-vertical-horizontal, or vertical-vertical-vertical). In AutoCAD, insert and draw your pattern into a 12’ x 12’ area/face/surface (6x6 modules) and extend it to 12’x6’ adjacent two areas/faces/surfaces.
Import the 3 (three) surfaces in 3DSMax.
Extrude a thickness of 2’ ft. your 3 surfaces and establish angular conditions.
Laser cutter physical model.
Explore and construct edge conditions: your pattern lines will be carried around adjacent faces. You must have a right angle connecting possible floor-wall-roof or wall-wall-wall relationships.
Work with solids and voids. Cut through selected parts. Modify and review, if necessary, your pattern. Start to think about façade openings.
Apply light as a design tool. You may decide to change your cuts accordingly to specific light-effects on the interior surfaces.
Your patterning investigation is now enabled by structure and light.

Stage 03: Depth
Assignment 03.01 – Patterns and geometry
Exactly redraw the patterns of your fashion item as a 2D figure using AutoCad.
If your item presents a complex series of patterns, redraw a reduced selection of them. Start to observe the single elements that are composing each patterned figure.
Isolate and redraw your pattern’s single elements as line drawings.
Try to uncover the underlying geometry of your patterns. Your patterns contain rules of repetition and multiplication.
What is the inherent principle according to which the single module proliferates?
Reveal the rules, strategies, layers and constraints, which are at the basis of the selected geometries.
Apply different ways of repositioning, combination and transformation of single elements to new entities, forming new patterns of more complex organizations.
Create your individual sets of new geometries as sequences of parts.
Particularly, you should have a set of drawings exploring operations of:
- Repetition
- Rotation
- Overlapping
On 11 x 17” paper print the following in appropriate scale:

Assignment 02.04 - 3D assembly, axo, elevations, physical model
The 7 elements selected and assembled together are now extruded in 3D.
They are composing a 3D assembly of solids and each component of the assembly is in strong geometrical and spatial relationship with the others.
In 3DS, render an axonometric scene and a front view (elevation) of your choice. Insert a plane as a receiving ground. Add significant construction lines.
Save each file separately as:
………A0204-3DS-AXO
………A0204-3DS-N-Elev
Print the Axo rendering on a 11x17’’ page in B/W, at the same scale of your laser cut exercise.
Import the elevation of your assembly in Illustrator and retrace the solids: you will have a line-drawing overlapping the rendering.
Position the ground line. Work with different line thicknesses, accordingly with what is in front, back, or behind (dashed line).
Print the Elevation from Illustrator on a 11x17’’ page in BW, at the same scale of your laser cut exercise.
Construct a physical model of the assembly at the same scale of your laser cut exercise.
Suggested technique and material: laser machine and MDF.

Assignment 02.04 - 3D Modeling
Go back to your composition made of 4 CAD drawings (assignment 02.02). Reconsider, once more and differently, lines and geometries you had generated.
In this exercise you will work with a selection of 7 elements and components, one being the dominant, and one the weakest within your composition.
Consider the complete drawing or part of it. Select seven elements that have a reciprocal relationship: adjacency, intersecting, touching, crossing each other, etc.
The 7 elements must be assembled together.
Save the Cad file as ………A0204-Cad-3DS
Import the Cad file in 3DS Max program. Do not forget to prepare the file first in Cad, as was explained during the 3DS demo in the last class.
Extrude your 7 elements according to thicknesses ranging between 3” and ½”.
Assign colors only to the dominant and the weakest elements. The others will be gray color.
Render the scene and print.

Rethink your composition made of 4 CAD drawings. Reconsider lines and geometries you had generated. Now you will work with a selection of perforations and raster cuts.
Consider the complete drawing or part of it.
Select an 11”x17” format on white museum board, 4ply thick.
If you prefer, select an 11”x17” piece of Acrylic (Crystal clear), 1/8” thick (in Home Depot, Storm doors section, NO LAXEN material).
Establish adjacency relationship between rastered zones and cut through zones
Give a color setting to the lines you have choosen, and fill in the areas with solid colors (hatch as solid) using the following 4 colors: red, blue, green, and cyan.
Every color is associated to cut deepness. You must have:
Blue= shallow cut.
Red= intermediate cut.
Green= deep cut.
Cyan= cut through (JUST FOR PERFORATIONS).
Save your new drawing as …….A0203-Cad-LaserCuts.
Scale your drawing appropriately.
Send your AutoCAD file to the laser cutter. You do not have to export in Illustrator.
Cutting will take at least 1 ½ - 2 hours per file.
