Busse statt Bahnen in den Nächten auf der Stadtbahnlinie U76

Meerbusch – Die Rheinbahn erneuert in Meerbusch das Stellwerk an der „Alten Ziegelei“. Wegen der Bauarbeiten wird der Abschnitt zwischen den Haltestellen „Lörick“ und „Meerbusch, Haus Meer“ für die Stadtbahnlinie U76 in den folgenden Nächten gesperrt:Continue reading

When we first started designing our sections, we started out with sketches on paper. We created three designs to show the directors. After we showed these to the directors, we started sketching out the plan of the auditorium on the table, drawing things to scale. This helped us to work out how much of the floor space we are taking up and how we can arrange things better. We also used this method to help us work out the number of seats we can fit in each section and to make sure the emergency exits had the required room.

After making these plans, we started learning how to do 3D drawings. We were given a previous model box to practice our 3D skills. We first started by drawing a massive cube and then splitting it up into 1m by 1m squares. This require a lot of thinking as the closer a square is, the bigger it is. We solved this by making the back wall as perfect squares, then using diagonal lines on the floor to create squares that will scale at the correct rate. We then used the back wall, and the ground to work out the walls. After this, we used the scale on the back wall and the vanishing point to scale everything up when it is brought forward.

For this project, I was assigned the forest section. This seemed like an easy section to start with, but I still did research on forests and witching circles.

The first research was the forests. From these pictures I could see that most forests have very straight up trunks, which can be various widths. They also don’t have as many branches on the lower regions of the trunks. I used these ideas, along with the concept of stylised and symbolic meanings to create my own designs. I decided to use vertical uniformed tubes as the trunk to exaggerate the upright trunks in the real world. I also put the stylised trunks much higher up in the designs and also made them much more stylised to make them look more like beams in a building at the same time. I also noticed the grey and brown colours from the trunks and used that when colouring the trunks in my design, but making it a lot more stylised instead of naturalistic, but clearly showing the lines of the trunks by using the different colours. 

The second research I did was for the witching circles. During my research I came across these two main photos. They both show the witching circles in two totally different ways. The greener photo has a much more subtle witching circle that has been made into the grass using light. Whereas, the other picture is a clearly seen circle using twigs and branches to make the circle. Even though they are both radically different, they both have the culminating idea of a circle that is seen in the ground and is somehow shown, whether it is subtle or not. I took this idea and decided to have my own way of showing the circle. My idea was the have the circle raised above the ground and surrounded by trees.  This helped to create the circle whilst sticking with the ideas I got from the research.
