Blog 10- Container Home

 


This week we did not have a lesson, instead we met with our mentors and discussed our container projects.

I plan on placing my container home in Holcombe, WI. It will be placed near the shoreline of the lake to get great views, which is why I chose my second precedent to more closely resemble. My second precedent has two stories and you can get a great view of the lake and surrounding greenery.


The inside of my container home will have a similar layout with the entry, kitchen, living, and dining areas on the main floor.
I also love how there are green accents throughout the entire home and the open staircase similar to that of the house that we visited. 

Additionally, I think that the bathroom is really fun. The clawfoot tub is adorable, but I will definitely prioritize a shower as that is more practical for most people. I do like their choice of tiles, keeping the walls lights, and the sliding wooden door that elegantly hides the laundry machines. 
Also, the use of all the windows not only helps the house to feel more open, it helps to make the industrial shipping container more homey. Plus, it helps to show off the beautiful views of the surrounding nature.

Overall, Delia said that she liked my ideas, and agreed that this precedent more dynamic. She told me to keep making progress and contact her if I had any questions (thanks Delia).

  Like what we discussed in class and Architecture Form Space and Order, the four prime generators of form are point, line, plane, and volume. Dots turn into lines, lines turn into planes, and planes create volumes; the progression of these elements turns from 1D all the way to 3D. These elements are used to help describe interior design and architecture. Many different examples are shown in the book, but one that we also talked about in class and was in the book is horizontal planes in Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright. Drawing, especially sketching, is an important way to express one’s ideas. As an artist, you should always have a sketchbook and pencil on hand no matter where you go. Four basic, yet critical drawing skills talked about in the Sketching Interiors book are: perception of edges, perception of spaces, perception of light and shadow, and how to perceive spatial relationships. Some other useful tools to bring while sketching are sketch papers, colored pencils, an er...

Blog 8- Emphasis, Contrast, and Detail

Color Study This week in class we talked about Emphasis, Contrast, an d Detail.   Emphasis   Emphasis is the p urposeful development of dominant characteristics. It c reates hierarchy , creating focal points by artwork, furniture, lighting, etc. It creates a feeling of drama, balance, and personality of space.   Emphasis can be shown in interior design with color , texture, lighting, furniture, with a view, and architectural details.   Contrast   Cohesiveness is important in interior design, but too much blending creates a flat space. Contrast adds balance, by placing objects with opposing characteristics. Contrast uses different color s , shape s , size s , material s , texture s , or style s .   Details   Icing on the cake to make the space more interesting and personal. Small attention to details helps to make a space feel more thought out, homey, and less stark.     This Week's Sketch- Analogous This week’s reading was chapter 8 ...

  The reading this week from Color Studies book is about Dimensions of Color. The four different dimensions are hue, value, intensity, and temperature. We talked about very similar concepts during class as well, relating specifically to paint.   Chapter 6 is about the Dimensions of Hue. A pure hue means that nothing is added, no white, black, grey, or complementary color.   Mixing hues creates new hues, often starting with primary and resulting in secondary. However, there are two more ways in which hues can be mixed, which is two adjacent colors and two complementary colors. All of these can be equal or unequal proportions (this is called a broken h ue).   T he most dominant hue is called the tonality of the color or artwork it is used in. Primary hues in particular are viewed as stable and have g reat cont rast.     Chapter 7 is about Dimensions of Value. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a hue. Values can be changed by black and white cr...
