BB7 Assignment 1
















This screen shot from "BB7" taken from the house "communal facility." To explore the image, first I identify by outlining objects that appears in the screen shot. Using thicker lines to introduce closer objects, thinner lines to identify farther objects, and dashed lines to show the original vanishing point, while the vertical lines to show the central point.

















Based on the given information, I see different lines re-create different depth and focus, while it is still true to the central point. By superimposed the color, it is starting to play with different scales, and different spaces are created, as the ambiguity of spaces start disrupt what was original spaces.
The gray to outlining gives the figure ground effect, and the yellow to create new path.
The verticality was defined by using blue color, with red color to introduce an opening.

The final right hand diagram to achieve lines of movement, bits of different creations, figures indicating densities, all juxtapose, and operative rather than legislative or determinant of hierarchies.

For this screen shot, I was interested with the density of the space, and how the objects Concurrent with the space.













The behaviour of each object was sharing similar properties just like Venn diagram.


Here's the explanation of Venn diagram from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram)


"Venn diagrams are illustrations used in the branch of mathematics known as set theory. They show the mathematical or logical relationship between different groups of things (sets). A Venn diagram shows all the possible logical relations between the sets."




To illustrate each object properties, I start to continue to trace each object beyond the original frame.




Color was used to define different objects to view similarities and differences.








Different color was created as the result of different properties share the same variables.

Interesting start.
0. Why edges? (as opposed to, say, surfaces? or volumes?)

1. I would suggest including a "key" to accompany each of the drawings. What do the different line types or thicknesses mean? How are you encoding the information? What do the different colors means? etc. This will be helpful in clarifying to the viewer what you are trying to understand/convey in each of the perspectives.

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the confusion, I was planning to add text and explanation for my works later. It was my attempt just to post the images first, because I'm having problem before. My Internet connection was down for several times, I was worried that I could not post anything, that's why you get images with no text.

Felix,
These are some very intersting images that start you off. I am looking forward to seeing the areas of the house you choose.

(following the addition of your comments) The scale of these sketches are quite small - if you are going to use line-thickness as a way to distinguish elements within the perspective, then I would suggest using vastly different thicknesses (5:1?) to ensure that the legibility holds.

The most interesting thing I find in your first set of diagrams (of the outdoor communal facility) is that the photograph, perhaps due to the wide angle lens, is an incredibly "horizontal" image - expanding outward to either side. But the last diagram of the set puts forth an image that is incredibly "vertical" - and almost "spiral-like".

An interesting extension to this effort would be to take the diagram (sans color) and color it using a different logic system and see what emerges.

The "Venn diagram" diagram I find much less compelling. The concept of a Venn diagram, while extremely interesting, seems "applied" or "imposed" to the image. Perhaps it is because you are treating the perspective as a 2D image to be diagramed (rather than as a 2D representation of a 3D space). The first set did not "flatten" the perspective.

Thank you for your advice Chris, I will try using different logic to investigate this phenomenon
