Brief:     

Design and make a pop up book for a play house.

The book has to be made in scale 1:1 the play house has to be designed in scale 1:10. The play house has to have 4 rooms: bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom.

Main elements like a bed, a table, a couch, kitchen counter, shower, sink, bath (and others) have to pop out, secondary elements like shelves, plates, paintings, mirrors, wardrobe (and others) should be drawn accurately (to scale) on the pages of the book.

The work will be kept black & white at this stage.  No color is permitted.

Recommended format: multiple A4, portrait.

BASE OF ALL DRAWINGS IS INFORMATION FROM THE ARCHITECTS DATA BY NEUFERT.

In addition to the domestic scenes your are designing and building, imagine a narrative, a story that could take place in those rooms.

Draw and cut out characters that can inhabit your space.

Evaluation:

Precision and accuracy of drawings 20%

Correct scale and size 20%

Making of the book 40%

Originality of narrative 20%

The intention is to familiarize the students with scale and sizes of domestic spaces, and make them translate those into a creative design process that requires knowledge (size and scale), techniques (pop up) and imagination (narrative) to produce a product that operates on two scales, as the representation of a domestic environment (1:10) and autonomously as a book (1:1). The aim is to use the most suitable projects ‘outside the classroom’ as part of the Rosettenville Studio in our collaboration with the Resthaven Ministries.
