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.
