TRANSFORMATION EXERCISE.


A simple transformative drawing exercise

The images below represent a quick transformative task, which involved 4 stages or processes. The first drawing involved drawing a sphere with a rectangular boundary. 

Secondly,  adding anything transformative such as pathways, walkway surface materials  etc.( in my case a curvilinear path with concrete block paving) and place a viewer within the drawing in whatever position desired. 

Furthermore, a simple visualisation is drawn showing the position/scale of the viewer(me) relative to the viewed object(drawing). 

Finally, a simple cross section with annotations describing all the objects within the drawing. This quick exercise lasted about 15mins. The exercise was a very insightful one and can be used in my opinion for quick presentations in the absence of computers. it also helped me in understanding scale in relation to the viewer and object. 

A transformative project can be applied in so many ways in arts and design. I have a particular keen interest in the use of unique patterns for street art. As a designer the landscape as we know it shouldn't only be designed for function alone but to have an aesthetic appeal. One individual  whose work has fascinated me is Annie Albers who excelled greatly in textile and printmaking. Her experimentation with colour, scale, shape and rhythm with abstract, Crisscrossing geometric patterns.

Portland cement is the most common type used in concrete production. Aggregates : These are the solid materials that make up most of the concrete's volume. Aggregates include: Fine aggregates (such as sand) Coarse aggregates (such as gravel or crushed stone) Water : Reacts with the cement to form a chemical bond, creating the hardened material known as concrete. Admixtures (optional): Chemical agents added to alter the properties of the concrete, such as accelerating or slowing th...

                          THE CHEONGGYECHEON STREAM, SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA.  A SUCCESSFUL CASE STUDY IN IMPROVING PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING                         Fig 2: Image of the Cheonggycheon stream, in South Korea. The Cheonggycheon Stream in Seoul, South Korea, is a prime example of how integrating the 'Nature in the space' theory of biophilic design can enhance public mental health and well-being.  The revitalised urban stream, which was once a covered highway, incorporates several elements of biophilic design such as natural water features , greenery, and open spaces for community interaction. These elements provide a tranquil environment amidst the bustling city, reducing stress and improving mood for visitors. Key aspects of the 'Nature in the space' Theory integrated into the Cheonggyecheon include the water's calming presence, dynami...
