I am going to post here all the work for criteria B, so you can find them easily:
Class 19 (8P Nov 18th, 8Q&8K Nov 19th)
First 40 minutes
Finish up your homestyler drawing and take basic screen shots to add to the document. Make sure one is the floor plan.
Last 40 minutes
We will make the list of requirements.
furniture
materials
spaces/ areas
We break B4 in 2 parts. B42 and B43. One is to make the room in real life and one is to make the model. When saying model, I am referring to the architectural model, something that looks like this:
So you need to list all the elements you will need to make this model: board, glue, cutting knives, plastic paper for the windows… etc.
We spent B2 drawing on paper and B4 drawing on the computer. I am sure you all have different opinions on what is best and worst of each one, let’s discuss them on menti.com
Task 2. Finalizing your homestyler drawings
We used class 16,17 and today (18) to draw this final floor plan. We will use class 19th to prepare the document and upload the complete Summative B at the end of class.
There will be no checkpoint for B4, I will give you oral comments in class 17 and 18.
Task 3. Checking the rubric to understand what we need
Class 17 (8P November 9th, 8Q&8K November 10th)
We will continue working on Homestyler. Remember you need to:
Here is the collection of tutorials you can find on the website:
Please watch video 1: Intro to the design surface (3:58)
Also watch video 2: How to create rooms (3:18)
I will be giving you oral comments to B4, today Class 17th and Class 18th.
Class 16 (8K November 4th, 8P & 8Q November 5th)
In class 16 we are going to start working on B4, drawing our final design using the computer. We will use class 16,17 and 18 to draw this final floor plan. We will use class 19th to prepare the document and upload the complete Summative B at the end of class.
There will be no checkpoint for B4, I will give you oral comments in class 17 and 18.
Here is the collection of tutorials you can find on the website:
Please watch video 1: Intro to the design surface (3:58)
Also watch video 2: How to create rooms (3:18)
Next class we will continue working on B4 your final floor plan and we will upload a screenshot to add to your Summative B.
Task 2. Learning by doing
The best way to learn any software is by using it, so please start using floorplanner to draw your floor plan and ask me or Mr Young any questions you may have.
Task 3. Drawing by hand or on the computer?
As you are going through the process think of the differences of drawing floor plans by hand and using a computer. Together we will make a list together of pros and cons of both in class 17th. Bring your notes.
Class 15 (8P October 30th, 8Q & 8K November 2nd)
Dear all, today we have a checkpoint for B3. We drew the 3 floor plans and today we will choose the best one, and we will move onto drawing the best one on the computer, B4.
Watch some tutorials on the website. Here is the collection of tutorials you can find on the website:
Next class we will continue working on B4 your final floor plan and we will upload a screenshot to add to your Summative B.
Class 14 (8K October 27th, 8Q & 8P October 28th)
Dear all, today we are going to use the class to finish and revise different things.
Please use the time in class to work on Design. We only have 2 more classes to finish Criterion B.
Class 13 (8P October 22nd, 8Q & 8K October 23th)
Dear all, today I am going to give you time to continue working on your floor plans. Since I think some of you were a bit confused, I made this little video:
The most important thing is that you:
establish how many squares of your grid paper is a meter
check the measures of all the furniture so you are moving around real beds and so.
In the rubric it says you need to annotate. Annotations is if you want to add extra information about the furniture (for example the color, the material, etc)
In this case, if you are following the architectural language on how to draw the different furniture, you don’t need to indicate what it is, because we already can see it on the drawing.
You don’t need to annotate that is a bed, because we can already see it.
Please use the 80 minutes in class today to continue working on your floorplans and upload at the end of the class. There is a checkpoint today, so if you don’t upload you won’t get any comments.
Class 12 (8K October 19th, 8P & 8Q October 20th)
Today we start working on our ideas. We will start with a 6 meters by 6 meters square and we are going to be placing all the elements you need.
Task 1
We will download graph paper. You will think about how you want to measure your space. For example, one big square can be one meter of the 6 meters.
Since this paper is quite strong, drawing on top can be a bit difficult so I recommend you tracing with another paper on top.
If you are making a 6 meters x 6 meters square you could create an equivalence 6 squares= 1 meters, so 6 meters=24 squares
And you can follow that proportion for all the other furniture.
6 squares=1 meter
1 bed that is 2 meters long, would be 12 squares, etc.
Task 2
Make a list of all the things you should include in the house. You can take this list from the specifications or the design brief. Write down the number: how many tables, how many chairs? etc.
Task 3
We are going to draw 3 different floor plans on how you could place all that furniture.
Draw the objects and place them in the space. If you want to know the measurements of regular furniture, please find it in the guide
You will need 3 different floor plans to present your ideas.
Rubric for B2
Next class at the end of the class you will be asked to upload B1 and B2 to get comments on a checkpoint.
Class 11 (8P October 14th, 8Q & 8K October 15th)
Today we will finish your mood board and start working on Design specifications.
If you want to create color palettes for your mood board, coolors.co is a nice resource. You can explore their palettes and modify them to your taste.
Once you are happy with the result you can take a screenshot and include it into your moodboard:
By the end of the class you should finish both, since they are B1.
Class 10 (8K October 9th, 8P & 8Q October 12th)
Task 1 (5 min)
Today we will use the first 5-10 completing an auto-evaluation of our work in Criteria A. Please get the rubric I am going to send you an give yourself 5 different grades:
Please send me these grades by Teams chat so I can see them and I can call you to discuss the grades I gave you for the different tasks, before I post them to MB.
Task 2 (40 min)
After watching the first 10 minutes of the video on Ilse Crawfort, we are going to make a mood board, which is a way to think visually and conceptually, to give shape and form to all the research that you did in the first criteria.
..
Download the task sheet for criteria B you can find under files. We are going to start working on B1, the specifications. Make sure the specifications come directly from what you write in A4, the success criteria.
