Design Elements
This assignment aimed to introduce students to the basic conceptual elements of a spatial design, which was to understand it all starts with a point, that moves into a line, then forms a plane, and hence forms volume from there.
We also learned to apply design language and arrange spaces in a competent manner, whilst learning volumetric thinking.
Thus, we were required to make a minimum of 2 mock-up models of spatial design as a development to produce one final model.
PART 1 – POINTS & LINES (2-DIMENSIONAL )
We 1st selected 6 images of interior spaces in a building, then identify points on the images and connect all of them with lines. This taught us that all volumetric designs begin with basic points and lines.

PART 2 : PLANES, VOIDS & VOLUME (3-D)
Next, one image from the 6 was chosen to be developed. I placed sticks on the dots on the picture as if the points move into lines, then I studied the frame of the model before adding planes. For this, I establish a dynamic frame and placed planes on it. Hence, my mock model was formed.

PART 2 : PLANES, VOIDS & VOLUME (3-D)
From mock 1, I concluded my model was too messy. So in the development of the 2nd mock model, I tried to redesign the frame and established its dynamic movement to a single direction.

PART 2 : PLANES, VOIDS & VOLUME (3-D)
From mock 2, there were many issues with insufficient planes and horizontal planes explorations. Also, some planes and sticks were not placed properly. So I went on to address those issues as a development to finalize my final model design.

FINAL
Once I was satisfied with the amendments, I made the final model with a proper white modeling board.
