Exploring Design Operations and Three-Dimensional Organization

We start with basic materials, and we learn how to use them; now its time to learn design operations and how to use them. There are three basic design operations, and these are move, rotate, and scale. In the first step we had 2 rectangular planes, and we need to apply these operations with some concussions and in an order. This brings us some awareness about how we use these materials and how these operations affect them.

In the second step we produce a unit and then we copy that unit 5 times. So we had 6 exactly the same units. Then we applied those design operations when we brought two of them together to create some variations. In total we had three groups, each with two units. After we bring our unit to the studio, the instructors said that a unit should have plans on each 3D dimension to produce a three-dimensional organization.

That becomes our third step: we need to revise our initial unit and produce 2 groups with those exact same 5 initial units. While bringing together these units, we should be aware of which operations we used. And we need to use the linear elements too.

And for the final, we should produce a contract that is composed of 5 to 7 units and 2 groups. We need to draw an orthographic set; one of the groups creates a poster. With this final work, we organize a pin-up. We hang our posters and tell about our contracts. It was really fun, and we gained some experience about how to explain our work.
