Exercise 03
Brief
Exercise03>solid space due>9/18/08 before the start of class goal>This exercise introduces the basics of the formZ modeling environment and promotes the idea that digital modeling can be harnessed for more than creating a virtual building. product>Each student will create an “inverse model” of the primary, secondary and tertiary spaces from one image from the “spaces” content library. Using the tools demonstrated in class model the space as solid volume. Use additive and subtractive modeling techniques. Obtain as reasonable degree of accuracy as is possible based on the photo. Make assumptions about the part os the space(s) not visible in the photo. Change the color and transparency attributes of modeled volumes to delineate spatial hierarchy and overlap. Export one image that best explains the spatial relationships. Student should maintain and keep the working file but will only turn in a compressed .jpg not to exceed 200KB, posted onto the course blog, http://0095b6.com/lostritto/arch470fa08 Things to think about>Don’t forget to post a critical comment on the course log in reference to another student’s exercise from last week.
