Assignment 8.1 Pinup

Create an Operative Diagram Series for your ENV3 facade design.

Format it as a sequence of individual diagrams on one or more 1920×1080 layouts.  Each individual diagram should focus on a particular operation and illustrate very simply the decision made in that step.


01 Diorama Drawing

The diorama is another isometric/axonometric visualization.

It is like an intimate, focused look into the project with foreground elements and roof/ceiling removed.  The remaining walls are both like a backdrop on a stage and the subjects of the diagram.

The floor and walls are sliced as if the diorama would fit into a box.  Their changing thicknesses and profiles are depicted as poche areas.

Whereas renderings can depict mood, atmosphere, and lighting, the diorama is more clinical and depicts layout.

Assignment 9.1:
Interior Dioramas

Create three interior axonometric dioramas.

    1.  Guest Room portion
    2.  A small part of your public space such as the reception, bar, pool cabana, etc.
    3.  A location of your choice.

These should all investigate the opportunities that occur at a corner condition.  Try to keep them all with the same vertical viewing angle and same scale.
