AS Design Development
/ 2018 Spring Semester
From The Design Development and Documentation / Instructed by Herwig Baumgartner, Scott Uriu
Group with Mahyar NAGHSHVAR, Pengju HOU, Sabrina YUEN, Yuan WANG, Yuchen WANG
/ Mega-Chunk
Our approach to design development is not only a technical advancement of the project but will also be a disciplinary one, where we challenge representation and search for relevancy in an era where documentation of design and manufacturing are in flux and are increasingly based on three-dimensional live data. While BIM is an important development in this regard, our aim is to re-think how we can envision and communicate design in innovative ways which exceed the design object itself.
We will re-consider drawing and the representation of the building components as one, where things can be hacked apart, peeled away, cut away, sliced, and exploded. Cuts will no longer be flat as in conventional plans and sections, but will be warped and active. We will attempt to combine multiple ontologies into the discussion, where things may be represented in terms of their profile, silhouette, internal organization, energy, action on other things, depletion, integration, and dis-integration all at the same time.

The primary part of our work will be multiple chunk drawings that vary in scale and offer different views, components, sizes, descriptions, energies, systems, vantage points, transparencies, materials, colors, scales, and so on. A point of departure will be the genre of meticulous aerospace and military drawings. The presentation will be on sixteen 24x36” boards that together make one large drawing in the final exhibition of the project.
