The Prejury and the Final Jury (17 Voids)

The Materials:

Opaque Surface: Cardboard, Balsa sheet
Translucent Surface: Wire mesh, Translucent acetate paper
Stick Materails: Wooden sticks, Metal sticks

We have been working for forming voids for a while. Firstly we made 3 then 5 and finally we reached 17 voids in total system. Making that amount of voids embedded in the desgin system was the both purpose and challange of the assignment.

For arrangement, I decided to form a path that air-flow can follow and, thus, an interrelated system is born. The starting point was the fornation of a group that will be repeated in the system. After that I repeated them in way that the path is not interrupted or blocked. Thus, the design that I will be presenting to jury for prejury is finalized.

With the critics that I got in both jury and critic sessions, I revised my work. The foundation of the work is preserved and it has developped in terms of organizational complexity and the flow between interrelated voids.

Assignment #2 (Repetation and Variation)

The Materials:

1. White, grey and black cardboard depending on the step.

This assignment included 4 steps in total.

Repetation and Variation-4 (Any number of shapes can be used)

Repetation and Variation-3 (7 rectangles, 13 triangles, 5 parallelograms, 5 circles)

Repetation and Variation-2 (5 rectangles, 11 triangles, 7 paralellograms)

Repetation and Variation-1 (3 shapes from the previous assignment)

In this assignment, main aim was foming group/s from the given materials and by using different techniques such as variation, repetation and mirroring, forming a design rule that can be applied throughout all the surface. Herein, background had to have role as an design element.

The Principles of Design

Repetition
Repetition  is one of the principles of design and also it's seen as a foundation or cofactor of many other principles such as varition and rhtym. Even though it's mostly mixed up wih rhytm, repetetion has more easy to apply and understand. It can be basicly explained as repeting of an element or a group. Herein, the use of space does not matter unlike it does in rhytm. Therefore, it's usually used with other principles to make the design enriched. I decided to put a rudimental example of the concept of repetition because to get an clear idea about it can be easily achieved by giving clear ideas. Therefore I put the repetition of a grouped stones which can also seemed as a pattern herein. Another one was the columns seen both in the ceiling and the façade.
