Jury 1 - Double Sided Relief

Jury Assignment 1, Double Sided Relief

Jury project (top)

Jury project (bottom)

 My jury assignment is above. I aimed to protect the mid groups dominance at both sides, but weigh down the dominance on top side as my small groups go higher. But in the jury, my small groups were said to be outperformed by the dominant group, and they were unnoticable at the first look.

My overall jury grade is CB-.

Jury Assignment 1 - Double Sided Relief (Process)

Jury Assignment 1, Double Sided Relief

In the jury assignment 1, the main outline was to make a double-sided relief representing the concepts that has been argued so far (repetition, dominance, rhythm etc).

First try (top)

First try (bottom)

In the first try, I aimed to represent hierarchy (as the prisms go smaller from left to right) and dominance. My work was said to be primitive and weak on the bottom side.

Second try (top)

Second try (bottom)

In the second try I aimed to achieve hierarchy on top side (as there's an increase in height) and rhythm on bottom side (as there's a patternish usage of prisms performing sort of a movement). My work was said to be linear, and primitive again.

Third try (top)

Third try (bottom)

Criticised as 'primitive' for several times, I aimed for greater complexity in my third try. However, this time my work was like a void composition. Besides, limiting the freedom of the project with grid was not liked as an idea.

Fourth try (top)

Fourth try (bottom) 

I left aside the idea of grid in my fourth try. It was liked as the surface quality, but my elements and relations were so similar that my groups were lost in them. The design was not legible.

NonSerious: They totally worht a nights work!!

Dominance & Contrast

In these two photos where there's repetition without variation, there's also a dominance of contrasting elements.

Repetition & Variation & Rhythm

In these two, there's rhythm created by the repetition of a group of elements. For these examples, repetition without variation creates rhytym, yet it's not necessarily monotonous as there's 

variation within the groups.

Focusing on windows, there's also a rhythm, created by repetition of differentiated 

elements but not groups.

Here, there's also a rhythm but created with variation of a single element and usage of 

background as an another element.

Repetition & Variation

Unfortunately, variation is barely used in metu buildings, so I'm limited with these two. Repetition of the varying elements is clearly seen in the windows.

Varying directions of the same, repeating elements can be seen here.

Assignment 5 - Rhythm

Assignment 5, Rhythm

 In this assignment, we were asked to express rhythm by making a 2D composition with letters in black and white and grey cardboard as the background element.
Studio work was cancelled.

My first project (delivered in 02.11.2017 11.00)

In this project I aimed to construct groups and repeat them, with similar (and same) relations through the overall composition. My elements were said to be fyling on the ground. Even though I aimed to use the ground element effectively, I seem to have failed.
The project was graded as DC.
