Sketch Model Making | Day 3

What an outstanding day !!!! We began the day with a quick tutorial on InDesign, demonstrating how the group could format a template for their final submission.

Our design have finally started to take shape through our Test Models

The three groups have been working on their test models, in preparation to Friday’s presentation.

Introduction to Modernism | Day 1

What a way to kick-off our 2019 events, with enthusiastic participants and coordinators.
We started off with a brief introduction on Modernism and split our self-up into different teams to initiate with an icebreaker, which had many good attempts , but in the end , there was only one winner.

Once again, well done to Group 3 as they’ve created some really good structures out of spaghettis and marshmallows.

This afternoon, we’ll be based outdoor, as we’re tracking down Manchester to sketch and take pictures of the Modernist building near by the Uni. We’ll be keeping an eye out to the similarities that these building share in common and discuss them in our session plan tomorrow. Sketches are key as they’ll communicate more than words.

Here's a location map of the Modernist buildings in Manchester.

We finally have all the materials required for our event’s sketch modelling. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with POBI SHOP, a manufacturer company of experience , which will help us turn our selected sketch model into a final exhibition work.

Sketch modelling

Will demonstrate how to problem solving through modelling making. This is a particularly useful
tool to explore the potentials of a design as well as possibilities of having different solutions
through a physical model.

Coordinated by Josh Jenje and Hani Namirra

Sketching.

Will demonstrate how to communicate initial ideas through sketching creating design outlines. Additionally, this is a powerful process to use because it always helps discover the best ideas and
solutions to a design problem, and can be quick way to simplify a complex design concepts
without hashing out the details.

Coordinated by Michael James Foster and Kimberley Androliakos

Technical drawings
Will demonstrate the process of producing drawings for proposal or design - detailing structural
elements and connections. This is a useful tool to communicate the technical details of a project
in a common format both pragmatic and conceptual

We had the great opportunity to volunteer for an event at the local synagogue in Manchester with the Modern Society. We can't wait for you guys to collaborate with us in this amazing event.

What is Modernist Architecture?
Modernism emerged early-20th century through social and technological change. Function, rational use of material, and the elimination of ornamental decoration made way for structural innovation. Modernism is the celebration of technology, machine and automation; developing across all artistic fields.
