EXPERIMENT2: week 1

For the first week's activity we were required to do three things. Firstly, to research our clients and come up with 5 hypotheses per client. Secondly, to represent these hypotheses with a series of 6 axonometric drawings containing 5 rectangles each, and each reflecting a hypothesis from step one. Lastly, we had to create a 3D model of one of these drawings in sketchup and export it to Crysis.
These are my axonometric drawings:

Hypothesis: The curve may be too complicated to explain verbally.

Hypothesis:.Existence of gravity proves that there's not any two things that do not relate to each other.

The below image is the correct reversal of this axonometric. I included the error, because this was a fairly complicated process; thinking in 3D and the reversing. I felt including a couple of mistakes would be a more accurate representation of how I found this task.
Hypothesis: If you punch someone, even if the guy you punch doesnt feel pain, you will feel it anyway!

In this drawing i left some of the construction lines in because Russell said that how we produced the drawing was sometimes more interesting than the drawing itself. I also experimented with different shading; I didn't like it!
Hypothesis: The best way to fix a crazy person is through communication

Hypothesis: Everything anyone does is driven in some way by a subconscious sexual disire

Hypothesis: People who know more than one language talk more often.

I took the above drawing and developed it in sketchup; the final result, once exported into Crysis can be seen below:

The greatest difficulty I had with this weeks task was importing into Crysis. not only did all the files need to be directed to the right place; the only editor that would work properly was the editor inside the bin32... a detail which painfully skipped my attention.


In hindsight the sketches I did are rather crude, although in later weeks i developed some new ones which better suited the way I perceived the clients Newton and Freud:

Hypothesis: Newton perceives the whole world

Hypothesis: Freud's domain is within the alcoves of the mind.

As an engineering student, as well as a student of architecture; I routinely deal with how much Newton has changed the world; indeed the invention of calculus (invented simultaneously with Leibniz) has a meachanism for describing movement and being in any dimension and in any state; it is quite literally a tool with which to view and analyse the universe; thus he perceives the whole world.

Freud created the notion of psychopathology, and the significance of the subconscious. his medium is very much looking from the inside out; observing how the minutia of thought and the inner workings of the mind affect the entirety of a persons constitution; thus his domain in the alcoves of the mind.
