House Stacking Exercise
This exercise had three components. First we had to make just a regular house. Then we had to make a second house and create openings so that it would fit nicely with the first house. Finally, we had to design the third house so that it could fit in with both the other two houses.

Final Assignment
Rose Seidler House
2 x Plan (1:100)
2 x Section (1:100)
2 x Elevation (1:100)
Axonometric
I wanted to show the material quality of the stones in the house, the fluidity of the room arrangement and the scale of the furniture in the house. The purpose behind the axonometric is to show both the interior and the exterior layout of the house.

Initial perspective drawing.
Rendered Drawing placed onto a night background. However when I tried to take my own photograph, I couldn't get the angle of the lawn to be the same as the original photograph.

Shading Exercise
Shaded drawing of Level 5 UNSW Red Centre. For this drawing , only shading was allowed with minimal line work.
Two Point Perspective
Two point perspective of the UNSW Red Centre. I only used colour for the vegetation.
One Point Perspective
One point perspective of the UNSW Science Theater and Lawn. I wanted to experiment with colour here while also maintaining the main features of the perspective.

Week 4: Final Submission
This is what we came up with to represent the statue that we initially wanted to represent. The white parts represent the statue during the day while the dark parts show the statue during the night as well as the textural qualities of the statue. The colourful strings connect all the holes together and leads the viewer through a journey through the statue. The tiles on the base give a contrast to the curves and "crazy-ness" of the statue.
Peer Review Sheet for Final Submission:
Week 3: More Ideas
Originally we wanted to present our idea in a book format which had holes on each page which represented the holes of the statue. After having difficulties with materials and bonding, we decided to present it as a modified zig-zag on a base that looked like the tiles underneath the statue in the site. After talking to the tutors, we got a lot of feedback and had many things we had to improve on for the final submission.
They wanted something to contrast with the curvy statue, they wanted something that tied and connected all the elements together so that the journey through the statue could be visible, and they wanted us to not use some of the parts that we had created.
These are some of our original sketches of the statue:
