Schematic Design: Part 2

           The next step in the process was done by putting the various overlays of the elements of design on top of one another. By doing so, different combinations of a final overlay was created. Out of all the combinations, the three that are shown to the left were the final overlays that were chosen.

         

            Based on these final overlays, a three-dimensional model will be pulled out from the overall concept of these overlays.

           For the Final Overlay Combination 1, Model 1 was developed. This model brought the idea of shape and curves together. Also since lines were randomly placed on Combination 1, lines were also randomly placed in the model.

          For Overlay 2, Model 2 was introdued. The idea of the shape itself plays a role in this model. The one concept that was brought into the model was since the squares and curves are completely two-dimensional in the overlay, those shapes were now put into 3D creating cubes instead of simple squares.

          Finally, for Overlay 3 the main concept that was brought into 3D space was curves and round edges. At first this entire model was sketched to be only consist of round edges. However, since the overlay also integrated the idea of rectolinear lines by having squares randomly placed in the overlay, this concept followed through and was added to the final outcome of the three-dimensional model as shown in the pictures below. The squares placed in the model were not completely transformed into a 3D shape such as a cube. It remained a simple square since the main idea that the model wanted to portray was the cuves and rounded edges.

        The idea of color was added into Model 1 and the FINAL model of Model 2. The color in Model 1 portrays the blue and oranges that were present in the painting that has inspired this whole project, Obscure Varitey 2 by Maitreyii. The blues and oranges are complimentary color that were used in the painting. Also the idea of the same brush strokes used in the painting were implemented on the sphere part of the model. In the Final Model of Model 2, the same type of idea was used as Model 1. The only difference was that instead of complimentary colors, the analagous colors of yellow, orange, and green were used. These color were also in Maitreyii's painting.

        The final approach to the 3D models was light and shadow. By just observing Model 2 and 3 all you see is a complete white model. No color or various materials were used. Therefore, light was put into play to create shadows that can bring out new shapes and overall look to the model.

The models were created by using bristol board and white chipboard, as well as acrylic paints.

Below are some pictures of the final models as well as pictures that depicted shadow:



Model 1 (Based off Final Overlay Combination 1)



Model 2 (Based off Final Overlay Combination 2)




Model 3 (Based off Final Overlay Combination 3)





                Out of all of the models created, the model that was most appealing at first was Model 2. Thus a complete Final Model of Model 2 was created just adding the idea of color and shadow. This model is on a 6x6 base compared to the smaller models that were on a 4x4 base.



Final Model of Model 2



           However, by the end of this whole second part of the Schematic Design Process, instead of heading towards the Final Model of Model 2 concept, the final concept may take a turn in lean more towards Model 3. An idea of combining Model 3 and 2 may be developed.
