Moooooore Projects!

This is the computer-generated matrix I developed with my photographs and diagrams. It compares plan-based photographs on the top to growth-based photographs on the bottom. While the organizations of these fields were very different, I concluded they were all very specifically ordered. The order and complexity seemed to decrease as "man" got involved (i.e. picked blueberries, crumbled cheese, etc.)

I then diagrammed all nine of my best photographs by hand (as you can see from the five diagrams pinned below each photograph). These diagrams reflected everything from bounding boxes, to axes, to negative space, to anomalies. They certainly took some time!

We were required to take about 40 pictures, enlarge the ones we thought would work best, then display them all for a pin-up.

For a different project, we were asked to take pictures of fields (as in the object/field relationship), diagram the photographs, then create a matrix using our findings. This is one of my favorite pictures from that set.
This is the Salon space in the center of our building where we "pin-up" our projects and are reviewed by jurors.

This is the matrix we developed to display our findings. The types of lighting are collaged in proportion to their prevalence in the top section, then plotted on floor plans in the bottom section.

The first step of a long-term project (the creation of a kiosk you'll see later) was to analyze different parts of the architecture building in groups (i.e. Lighting, Movement, Sets, Signage, etc). My group was assigned lighting, so Amy Jo, Laney and I analyzed both planned and unplanned lighting in each area of the building.
