Floor-plan Development

01.06.19

Today I decided to make the gallery space in rhino. After completing my digital project on the 31st of May I have now gained better knowledge of how to use rhino and the potential it has.

In the last studio project, I placed my model on a a piece of MDF that was engraved with the floor-plan to give the model context. Taking this 2d floor-plan I previously made I extruded the walls to create a 3D model of the entire gallery space. This will allow me to take shots of the gallery from the top view, ultimately creating a digital floor-plan. Rhino also allows rendering, my plan to to produce a rendered floor-plan showing my sleeping platform and intervention. I also plan to do the same for both my sections and elevations.

Below I have included some photos of the progress i’ve made and where i’m currently up to

I have added in the bathroom and kitchen towards the rear of the site
when my final sleeping platform is done I will include it in these floor-plans

I personally think that a digital rendered floor-plan is a much stronger visual tool than a hand drawn one. It looks much more detailed and it allows the space to be explained and explore further. I also plan to create one singular final document for my presentation, instead of having several singular A2/A3s I want all of my work to be collated into one, creating a more cohesive experience for the viewer. I will included a blog post into presentation research and design layout in a future blog post.
