The Poster that never comes (03 assignment)

I just quote that one of the most popular Metallica song’s name for title. As you wish, you can listen in this link  : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlahvvymkxc And here is my new work on Photoshop. Before i made this poster ,  I read LE CORBUSIER’ “Pure creation of the mind” part and also I watched BERNSTEIN, L. ” What does music mean?” , young people’s concerts. Then i try to blend these two material in my mind and reveal some important words. And finally made this poster in Photoshop cs3. I still have some hesitation about my headline colour which is related to harmony but I didn’t find any good alternative because of background colours. Whatever, here is my posterz

ARCHITECTURE, PURE CREATION OF THE MIND – WHAT DOES MUSIC MEAN?

At the beginner of the text, we directly show that if we want to reach harmony,we also need to proportion. This make sense lots of work but it also creates arguably thing: Don’t we reach harmony without proportion? And in my opinion we can not limit that way of reaching harmony. I approve proportion is one of the best way for reach that but without caring proportion, we can also find a way to create harmony. Next pages author more talk about axis which creates harmony and use specific examples to make his thoughts more understandable. He refers nature’s perfectionist calculation, easible understanding proportion and accord. So he reach that clear statement with these referations. It reveals that new discussion topic about if we can’t read work-art easily, should we say that it’s not a succesful artpiece? On the other hand he said that pure creation of the mind is a product of clear statement,unity of the work,fundamental attitude and a character . I totally agree this opinion because ...

IMPORTANCE OF REGULATING LINES

In the text,writer wants to emphasize that regulating line is really important thing for architecture. According to him, regulating lines are inevitable element of architecture. It also important for understanding structure. And not only near era but also since humanity,people have this regulating lines on their building. Writer use some examples to support importance of regulating lines. For instance primitive man use his body(hands,foots and etc.) for reaching true measurement. They create regulating lines in their minds and thanks to their eyes they coordinate their structures with using their bodies. And they always focus on solidity and utility when they product something.  These primitive men not only use their body but also use their instinct for creating something. When they decorate their structure,they behave according to their instinction. But they never use their instinct for measurement. They use geometry when they scale their items. Suprisingly, these geometrical ...

First Assignment in Studio

Everybody knows that drawing something is not easy action for first year student in architecture ,but actually this assignment is more challenging than what we expected. When you look at this picture, it may not resemble something in your mind, but actually this is one of the most unique structure in the world. Its name is Royal National Theatre, its in Southbank, London and real type of building is this   And here is some information about Royal National Theatre : Sir Denys Louis Lasdun, (8 September 1914–11 January 2001) is an Architect of this building.

Light box

I'm here with my new assignment today. It should contain abstraction , light, shade&shadow and hierachy in itself. Lets talk about what kind of process this assignment has. Firstly, we went to the Kurtuluş Parkı and our guides wanted to take some picture in specific place by us. We should take 5 photographs (sky,ground,front,left and right) in these specific places. After that we should print out these photographs and we need sketch these photograph with regarding abstraction.  Our workspace is front picture and the crucial sketch is this picture: And after some abstraction work, this picture's view is really changed as you can see bottom of this text : And after this abstraction, with using this drawings,I started modeling part. My first modeling has some negative qualities like having different shape which is against assignment and finally I have out of requirement grade. It feels really different but as you will see (except first picture), I ...

Structural Frame (05 Assignment)

                  Im here with my new assignment today. End of this assingnment,we should analyse a system to understand and reflect its abstract operational structure. And for achieving this aim we need to find small-scale production or manifacturing and observe their action. Thus, we can find a source and observe some keywords like rhythm, convergence, divergence repetition, continuity,fractical grid and etc. When we observe these elements,also we should take a picture,record a video or other medium for showing our observation and post to our blog. In this way, I decide that visit hamamonu. In here there are lots of different small-scale production but my choice should has keyword. After some research, wristlet (or jewellery) seems to me best way for showing that. So,I took some videos and pictures to post here. Below you see youtube link, which has wristlet video made by myself. ( I encou...

Architectural tour in Ankara (04 assignment)

          It was a rainy day… Again noone has no idea what we are doing… This is a kind of principles of being architechture student. Sounds echoing like “its up to you!” in studio.Then we recognized that nothing can be same after this trip… Here comes new assignment. Last friday we take an architectural tour in Ankara and we have to focus light and shadow qualities in Buildings. In poster (which is on the left) you can see old buildings. They may seem like normal structure but when we think that 1920-30s, they are really important and well designed buildings for Ankara.  Also there are more photos when i took this trip. I didn't add these pictures to my poster thats why i couldnt find exact texture in these photos.
