Modern House Project
Help
Your Abstract Garden Project was a huge success! A wealthy newly wed couple has decided to hire you as an architect for a new house they've commissioned. They're a huge fan of the
Blackboard Grade Center idea of the "modern house" and would like you create their new home in that style.
Take a moment to review some characteristics of modernist buildings from Designing Buildings Wiki:
Lesson Plans Components positioned at 90-degrees to each other and an emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines.
The use of reinforced concrete and steel.
Visual expression of the structure rather than hiding structural elements.
CLASS MANAGEMENT Following the ‘machine aesthetic’ in the use of materials produced by industrial processes.
Rectangular, cylindrical and cubic shapes
Control Panel Asymmetrical compositions.
A lack of ornament or mouldings.
Content Collection → Large windows set in horizontal bands.

Using a reference image of a modern house or more ideally multiple images of the same house , create.a basic shell that a house builder could use to build the newly wed's house!
Customization → Throughout this modeling project I'd like you to keep a few things in mind:
Packages and Utilities → -In real design/architecture it's considered unethical to essentially copy someone else's design and claim it as your own. Well be referencing the works of these skilled architects in this
Help way though to help your understanding of spa e and layout.
-Often times you'll be making your own judgements and decisions on what shapes, and sizes the objects you model tale form in. If you're unsure about how large or small to make
something then the internet is a powerful tool for finding standard sizes and dimensions of doors, windows etc. Ultimately do what makes the model look right and try not to tie yourself so
much to specific details immediately
-Once you've found a house you'd like model start by trying to identify the major masses of the unit. Identifying and setting major masses first will help you build off those components
once you start to add detail
-For this project, I'll only be judging your work on the EXTERIOR portion of the house. Doing an interior AND exterior is a whole different beast so we will not go that route here.

Abstract 3D Shape Garden

You've been commissioned to create a sculpture installation series in a new avant-garde garden exhibit. The curators would like a series of sculpture based on basic shapes and geometry
but abstracted to the point of being unnameable. Using the different drawing tools you learned about in the introduction, create a series of unique abstract shapes. The shapes can use
components of simple shapes but shouldn't be easily definable as a specific type of shape but rather a combination or warping of simple simple shapes. Give the objects enough space
that your human figure reference would be able to pass easily between the forms. Please try and create at least 6 unique shapes for your installation

For this brief submission I'd like you to attempt to print a document to a pdf from SketchUp Web and submit it here. Watch the brief video below on printing from sketchup web app and
print a document with either just a simple shape like a square or a cube and Helen or what you're working on for your abstract garden. Once the document has been saved to a

Room Drafting Project

For this project, you'll be taking your napkin sketch of your room and creating a precise drafting of your room. Working on an 11 x 17 page, decide on what scale would most comfortably
fit on the page with the room dimensions you have. Drafted lines shouldn't be too close to the border of the page not should the space in between be too large. Do your best to center the
room on the page as well. I'll be looking for the following components of the finished drafting. Some of this we will cover more indepth after the room has been finished, such as title
blocks.
-Finshed walls - Clearly indicate the shape and size of your room to scale. Use a double line to indicate walls. Generally a residential wall thickness can be rounded to 6". You'll have to
take note of where the inches (") markers are on the scale rule when doing these. Double lines are used because walls have insides and outsides
-Door locations - Locate where doors sit on walls as well as their accurate width opening. Include entry doors, closet and bathrooms doors.
-Window locations - Widths of windows and locations in walls
-Large pieces of furniture - Desks, bed, entertainment centers etc.
-Dimension lines - Indicate final widths and lengths of any walls and doors in your space.
-Cleanliness and Accuracy - Make sure all walls, doors, windows etc, are clearly defined and squared when appropriate.
-Scale - Choose a scale to place your room plan on your page that fits comfortably without too much open space to the edge of the border nor should it sit too close. Be sure that all walls
you draw in the plan are also accurate to the scale you choose

Room Drafting Intro Project
In your sketch books or on a spare piece of paper, draw an outline sketch of a room in your house and then use that to
make notes about lengths of walls, locations of doors, windows and any other relevant details. Also be sure to measure the
height of the room as well as the overall sizes of doors and windows. We'll be using this initial napkin sketch as an
introduction to hand drafting so try and give yourself all the information you need on the sketch about lengths walls in
particular. If you don't have access to a tape measure then estimate with a ruler or something you know the length of
roughly to give yourself an estimation.

Room Drafting Project
Objective: An introduction to standards and methods of basic drafting and the application of
basic tools in a CAD Program. Students will take real dimensions of a room and transfer that
information into a 3D model created inside the CAD program. Students will learn to utilize basic
and building shell tools to accurately represent all architectural features of whichever room was
chosen.
Preparation:
1) First you’ll want to choose a room in which you can easily access corners. If corners
aren’t easily accessible then make sure you at least have a buddy to help you stretch a
tape measure across walls.
2) Next, take your measurements! Grab a scratch piece of paper and draw a rough outline
of the room on it and then use that to make notes about lengths of walls, locations of
doors and windows on the walls and any other relevant details. Also be sure to measure
the height of the room as well as the overall sizes of doors and windows.
Document Setup:
1) Create a new blank document and Save As, [Room Drafting]. Vectorworks has an auto
save function every 15 minutes that you will want to use. If you’re on a personal PC then
create a new folder somewhere accesbile for your auto save and recovery to save to. Go
to [Tools>Options>Vectorworks Preferences] and click on the Autosave tab. There you
can find where your backups route to or change where they save.
2) At the top of the program go to [Tools>Workspaces>Spotlight] to make sure you’re in
Spotlight mode. Each mode will give a different tool set to work with depending on the
users focus. Spotlight mode gives you access to lighting instruments, soft goods and
other stage essentials as well as basic building shell tools.
Process
1) Now that your document is all setup you’re ready to start drafting! This is where process
really becomes something that you learn and make your own when designing. For
starters, lets keep it simple to working with Basic and Building Shell Tools to get your
room drafted.
2) First lets make sure you can see your tool sets and palettes. Navigate to
[Window>Palettes] and make sure that Snapping, Attributes, Object Info, Basic, and
Tool Sets all have a check mark next to them. This dropdown menu is also where you’ll
find other useful palettes such as Attributes and Snapping
3) Lets start with the Wall Tool setup. In your tool sets window you’ll find a list of tool
options. Familiarize yourself with what some of the do but first you’ll want to be in the
Building Shell tool set. The wall tool is generally the first in the bank but you can also tell
a tools name by hovering the mouse over it for a moment. Click the icon for the Wall
Tool and look for an icon near the top of the program with a wrench and pencil crossed.
Remember this icon because it is your preference setting for each tool and will change
depending on what tool you have toggled. Click on the icon and window called Wall
Preferences will pop up. Make sure your Overall Wall Thickness is 6”. Go to the next tab
called Insertion Options and change the Height to whatever your room height is and
click okay.
4) Now click once in the working area in any open space. You’ll notice that now two lines
appear wherever you move around the screen. The line with which your cursor is
attached is also call your Control Line. Each successive click will set that section of wall
down in whatever orientation is sketched in. You’ll also notice that the second line not
connected to the cursor stays to either the left or right of the cursor line. You can change
the control line to either be either Left or Right near the top of the document near the
preferences icon. For simplicities sake I would set it to Right Line Control and draw in a
clockwise direction to ensure you’re drawing the inside measurements of your room.
5) Using the Wall Tool draw your entire room in the document. For some drafting tips and
tricks look below! When you get all the way around your room you’ll notice that if you
hover your mouse over where you started a small red square will appear. Clicking this
will finish the whole wall segment and place it in the document.
6) Next in your Building Shell tool sets find the Door Tool and Window Tool. Using these
tools go ahead and add any windows and doors that are in your room to your room shell
in the working space. You can change the size, style and attributes for doors and
windows by finding the same wrench and pencil crossed icon near the top of the
document. To place a door or window simply toggle your door or window tool by clicking
it and then drag your cursor the section of wall in which you wish to insert it. You’ll
notice that to fully set a door a window you’ll have to click twice. THe first click sets the
base point and the second click will set the orientation. You can also change the swing
direction with the icons near the top of the document.
7) To finsh it off, lets add a few basic dimension lines. Dimension Lines are a way of calling
our lengths and sizes without having to pull out a scale ruler. In the Basic Tools find the
Constrained Linear Dimension tool or press N. This tool requires 3 clicks to set. Your first
click defines your starting measurement and the second defines where the
measurement ends; the third click sets the length from the wall that the Dim Line sits.
Go ahead and add dimensions lines for each wall in your room as well as the door and
wind sizes as well.
Drafting Tips!!!!
- The default view for most documents is called Top / Down. Using the numberpad on a
keyboard you can change to different quick viewports to see your room in 3D pressing 0
on the number pad will take you back to Top / Down. There is also a dropdown menu
near the top that has different viewing and rendering options.
- The Line Tool (2) will come to be your best friend. Useful for creating snapping points
and setting where doors and windows fall along a wall line. Get creative with its uses
- Pressing Tab while drawing an object will give you an option to input definite dimensions
for each wall segement to snap to before it is placed. Tab is useful in many other shape
tools as well
- Remember to denote Feet as [‘] and Inches as [“]. Vectoworks default is Inches and Feet.
- Learn what your Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys do to the objects your working with in your
working space. Shift will often snap whatever object your moving or drawing to a
specific x,y, or z axis or definite angle. Ctrl will often duplicate selected objects.
- A snapping option that gives me problems is called Snap to Grid. I like to disable it so my
object dont snap to arbitrary points in the document. Look at your Snapping tool palette
and the first icon is Snap to Grid. If it’s disabled it will be the same color as the window
background. If it is enabled then it will most likely be a blue or some other shade. Go
ahead and disable it.
Cornell Box Project
Objective: The goal for this project is to create a Cornell Box about the chosen play, Iphigeneia
at Aulis, to help communicate your ideas and thoughts about the play. The main goal is be able to
synthesize the themes and moods of the play into a visual project that can be used as a tool for
communication.
Assignment: Create a Cornell Box relating to the plot, theme and or characters of Iphigeneia at
Aulis using examples from the text. For this project you are NOT trying to come up with any
kind of design as it relates to the stage. This project is for you to examine your reaction to the
text and to find what in the text speaks to you and stands out. The goal of the box is to be able to
abstract important elements from the text into a visual.
Materials
1) A Box - Feel free to use any box you have available in your homes or that you can find in a
thrift store. Shoe boxes, cigar boxes, small amazon boxes, and food boxes work well. Try not to
exceed a 1’ L x 1’ W area with your box and try and avoid anything deeper than 6”
- Try and use a found box to not spend time making the actual box itself when you can use that
same time working on what’s INSIDE.
- Feel free to paint the box at your own discretion or if you have time to incorporate it into your
design.
2) Objects or Prints – This is the bulk of what I’ll be grading your project on. The only limitation
I’m placing on what you put inside your box is that it is at least somewhat appropriate.
- Try and actually find object or print images instead of trying to draw or paint anything new.
Feel free to think of this as a 3D collage.
Monologue Journal Project
For this project you’ll be creating a Monologue Journal. This is a tool that you can
use to start building a repertory of monologues for yourself. The goal is for you to
continue building and adding monologues to your Journal as you continue in
theatre as this will be a reference guide for monologues that you’ve already took
the time to learn in the past.
Directions:
- Get a cheap, blank composition book, notebook or moleskin if you want
to be extra.
- Select 2 monologues from a play to cut and paste in your book. See
Requirements below
- Label the top of the page with the title of the play, the author and the
character name.
- Cut and paste your monologue into your journal somewhere near but
not at the top
- Below your monologue write in some notes for yourself about the play.
I’d like to see 3 things primarily: Time/Setting, Background, Context
o Time/Setting – When?/where? does it take place?
o Background – What is the play about? What are some of the
common themes in the play? What do you think the playwrights
intentions were?
o Context- What is the circumstance of this monologue? What are
some of the details of the circumstance (are you alone?, do need
props or a chair? Etc..)
Monologue Requirements:
- You MUST select a monologue from a published playwright
- You MUST select 1 Classic Monologue (pre 1950’s) and 1 Contemporary
(post 1950’s)
- Generally anything between a half a page and a full page is a good length
of monologue
- Between 60 – 90 seconds is an ideal length
