Diao,Jianwei
Key strength: Textures are high quality,
carefully drawn lines of varying thickness. Good balance between outline and
hatching/fill.
Most significant weakness: Relationship between landscape and
architecture. The architecture has been placed without enough consideration of
its surroundings. In exp3 it will be even more important that this relationship
is resolved. Express this relationship through the strategic placing of the
architecture.
Duncan,Rhys Bowie
Key strength: Axonometrics demonstrate an attempt
to interrogate the spatial arrangement of the prisms.
Most significant weakness: Incomplete submission.
Hanna,Marina
Key strength: Textures, although simple in the
way they are constructed, do achieve the subtle expression of light to dark
through their greyscale.
Most significant weakness: There is a consistent problem with
expressing through the sketched axonometrics the junctions of prisms.
Visualizing them first, even drawing them quickly in sketchup will help. Take
care to ensure lines are parallel if they need to be. For exp3, take care to
ensure lines point toward the vanishing point if they need to.
Harish,Narmada
Key strength: Axos, their presentation and
experimentation with proportions and arrangements. They could be improved
further with an equal consideration of textures/hatching.
Most significant weakness: Architecture is not articulated
well. Where are the “detailed” elements inspired by the axos. They could have
turned an intersection of volumes into an architectural form.
Huang,Xiaobin
Key strength: Level of detail put into the
landscape. The spatial consideration of proportion and hierarchy in the
arrangements displayed by the axonometrics.
Most significant weakness: Articulation of architectural
elements is lacking.
Kha,Yvonne Grace
Key strength: Drawings, especially the textures
are incredible as a set. They well together.
Most significant weakness: The relationship between landform
and architecture has not been considered nor expressed. In exp3, make sure that
you strategically place the architecture in relation to the valley. Then take
image captures that exploit its placement (either from inside looking out, or
the whole bridge nestled in its surroundings.)
Koteski,Stefan
Key strength: Architecture, its composition, the
texture and colour choices.
Most significant weakness: There is little consideration of
thought put into the placement of the two monuments. How do the monuments
relate to each other? How do they relate to the landscape? Where is the meeting
place?
Laroza,Raiza Denise
Key strength: One monument has an inseparable
relationship with the landscape. Equal consideration should be given to the
other monument and the meeting place.
Most significant weakness: Textures do not display the same
amount of care and consideration as demonstrated in exp1. Both the presentation
and linework could be improved.
Le,David
Key strength: The sketches, especially the
textures were drawn with care and consideration. They would improve even
further with thoughtful presentation.
Most significant weakness: The architecture of the scheme
requires a greater consideration of placement in the landscape.
Liu,Hui
Key strength: Relationship between architecture
and landscape is elegantly expressed throughout the images. The consideration
of light during night and day periods also demonstrates a clear consideration
of experiencing the architecture.
Most significant weakness: The textures need to explore more
techniques of hatching. The architecture could also improve the articulation of
its smaller elements. They should integrate with the whole, or at least be
considered as a part of the whole.
Masman,James Geoffrey Scott
Key strength: Axos obviously are exceptional
quality. The images of the architecture are also a strong point, they have been
carefully considered as compositions. What about images from inside the
architecture looking out? Or even more basic interior shots?
Most significant weakness: Articulation of architectural
elements and lack of integrated connection with meeting area. In exp3, please consider
how to push the design of volumes to the point that it becomes architecture.
McLoughlin,Caitriona
Key strength: Image captures portray architecture
well. Despite being a simple, barren landscape there still is an intentional
placement of architecture in relation to the landscape.
Most significant weakness: Scan/photographic quality. It is
evident that the drawings have been done with care; however their presentation
severely disadvantaged the whole submission.
Thompson,Alyce Glynis
Key strength: Care and consideration in
presentation of images and sketches.
Most significant weakness: Articulation of architecture, where
are the additional “detailed” elements inspired from the axos. Other than the
single staircase, the detailed elements could have shifted your volumetric to
architectural form.
Tryhuba,Grant Robert
Key strength: Axos and textures are amazing. The
linework, the texturing/hatching, the progressive light to dark sub-structure.
My only comment would be the arrangement of the prisms does not suggest a
unified form. Commit yourself to a proportional system to engage with a
systematic consistency, at the same time as striving to break the very system
you are employing.
Most significant weakness: Monuments seemed plonked onto the
landscape. In exp3, please give greater consideration to the relationship
between architecture and landscape.
Uchitpe,Matthew
Key strength: The sketched axos and textures
demonstrate a clear understanding of spatial expression. Their presentation
could be improved and the proportions of volumes should be experimented
further.
Most significant weakness: Scheme does not display
architecture in the landscape. Where is it sited? Where is the meeting place?
Wang,Ziwen
Key strength: The careful linework and hatching
of the textures are a strong point and should be applied to the sketched axos
as well. In exp3, keep in mind the level of quality of textures and use them in
your one and two point perspectives.
Most significant weakness: The relationship between
architecture and landscape is not clearly demonstrated. The articulation of
architecture is also lacking in detail. Exp3 will expect a higher level of
resolution.
Yang,Xiaolei
Key strength: Sketches and textures absolutely
remarkable.
Most significant weakness: Architecture needs articulation of
the detailed elements to move from a design of volumes to a form of
architecture. In exp3 it will be expected that the architecture is resolved to
a greater degree of detail.
