Spatial Design and Conceptual elements of Design 2

Scope of Spatial Design: This approach transcends traditional design disciplines by focusing on the organization and flow of people within spaces. It addresses both private and public environments, exploring place identity and the unique character (genius loci) of each space.

Conceptual Design Elements:

Point: Represents focus points or intersections in a design.

Line: Expresses direction and movement, such as the dynamic lines used in Zaha Hadid's architecture.

Plane: Defines spatial boundaries and can be vertical (walls), horizontal (floors), or overhead (ceilings).

Volume: Conveys three-dimensional space and mass.

Biomimicry in Design: Examples like termite mounds inspire sustainable architecture, as seen in Mick Pearce’s Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe, which uses natural ventilation to reduce energy use.

week 3

  • Figure-Ground Relationship: Differentiates a central object (figure) from its background, enhancing focal elements and creating contrast.
  • Proximity: Groups elements close together, perceived as related, contributing to visual organization.
  • Closure: Our minds fill in gaps to perceive incomplete shapes as complete, creating cohesion.
  • Symmetry: Balanced arrangements, such as bilateral, radial, or rotational symmetry, make designs more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Continuity: Aligns objects to be perceived as a unified group, enhancing visual flow.
  • Similarity: Uses similar shapes, colors, or sizes to foster harmony and ease of navigation.
  • Simplicity: Encourages minimalistic, uncluttered designs to emphasize essential elements.

    • Week 4

    Decoding Spatial Perception  Compositional Principles

  • Contrast: Using differences in size, color, position, and texture to create focal points and visual interest.
  • Repetition: Creating unity by repeating colors, shapes, or textures, which can include gradual changes or radiating patterns.
  • Balance: Arranging elements for visual stability, like symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, to maintain equilibrium.
  • Hierarchy: Prioritizing elements to guide the viewer’s attention through a visual flow.

    Games Development / Week 1 Homework

    -

      Week 1 Homework To do: Individually come out with a game idea (or many ideas, remember the limitations), and make your first game pitch. Some lucky (or unlucky) students will be selected to do a 10-minute presentation of their game idea(s) next week on September 30. No specific format for now (we’ll do Game Design Document in a later class), so try to find the most creative and effective way to convey your game ideas. This may not end up being your Final Project, but it will still contribute to your Continuous Assessment grade. Hence, document the process in your blog. Submit the link to your blog post by Sept 29 midnight.

     Assignment1 Trending Experience Todo: Task 1 helps you explore current Augmented Reality (AR) trends and understand marker-based , markerless , and location-based experiences before choosing your final project idea. Research AR Trends Experiment Reflect Propose 3 Ideas Processing: Research AR Trends I have identified three commonly used AR applications on the market to serve as my inspiration. 1. Apple Ar :   These applications combine the limitless choices of online shopping with the “hands-on experience” of offline retail, ultimately aiming to eliminate consumer uncertainty during purchases. By overlaying virtual product models onto real-world environments at a 1:1 scale, users can intuitively assess size, style, and outfit compatibility, enabling more informed purchasing decisions. User input:  Previewing an orange iPhone 17 Pro Max on my computer keyboard App output: 2. Particle Cam: The core value of this type of application lies not in “previewing products” or “...
