Blog - Week 3 (Project 1)

1. In groups of 5 come up with 36 words to describe the features/qualities/properties of materials. Note: throughout the class students will be demonstrating the methods for modeling and texturing objects in SketchUp. In past classes one student creates a 3d form and the next adds to it and so on; it's interesting to see a tutorial group 'summarised' in this way.

2. Include two simple shapes in your developed Sketchup model and apply an image of your clients work to them. They should be to scale and represent an approximate form and volume. (This is so we can see the relationship between the work and the space that it was constructed in).

3. Choose 3 of the textures you've developed and apply them to the most appropriate parts of the SketchUp model. IMPORTANT: you do not have to cover your entire model, use the textures to highlight certain aspects or spaces.

4. Upload 2 new images of your developed SketchUp model to your blog; these should show the designers work in their workshop.

5. Find a short movie that has something to do with the section, stair, texture or materiality and your scheme. Embed the video in your blog.
