02B MODEL AND SCALE
VISUAL ANALYSIS
Figure 1. I have had a trip around Darling Harbour, and I was really interested in this spiral fountain. Therefore, I started to do this assignment with this structure (Photograph by O'Beirne 2006)
Figure 2. Ishigami's work (Photograph by Ghinitoiu 2019).
Figure 2. This is my model plan.
Figure 3. This is a simple axonometric sketch of the model. By this way, it is more clearly comparing to the Figure 1. Furthermore, there are 'openings' element, and there is not enclosing space. This is Ishigami's technique.
Figure 4. My own model was highlighted as a dominant element. This picture is an arrangement of points which was labeled as the image above.
Figure 5. My own model was highlighted as a dominant element. This picture is an arrangement of lines which was labeled as the image above. Furthermore, the 'openings' element created by these lines.
Figure 6. My own model was highlighted as a dominant element. This picture is an arrangement of plane which was labeled as the image above.
Figure 7. My own model was highlighted as a dominant element. This picture is an arrangement of volume which was labeled as the image above. It is similar to 3D view.
Figure 8. My own model was highlighted as a secondary element. This picture is an arrangement of points which was labeled as the image above.
Figure 9. My own model was highlighted as a secondary element. This picture is an arrangement of lines which was labeled as the image above.
Figure 10. My own model was highlighted as a secondary element. This picture is an arrangement of plane/volume which was labeled as the image above.
Figure 11. The red colour part as a negative space.
Figure 12. These lines creating these edges.

In this assessment, I decided to choose ‘an architecture vast and small’ which is a technique of Junya Ishigami. We can recognize this city as cloud, wood, landscape, water and mountain. Ishigami draws inspiration from the way of nature, and he inspired structures and patterns of behavior. His artworks are the way they can become transform through lines into transparency, which is almost dissolving or substance. Furthermore, his artworks are not about logical design or spatial theories or structure principles. Additionally, things he inspired for that he sought out elements that possible such as human, technical possibility and material possibility. They look dull, and they look natural. But their active making something so fine which is high engineer exercise.
For my model, I decided to create a cloudy sky at the top, which is supported by standing lines. There is a spiral fountain at the bottom of my model. There is a reason why I did that because I had a trip around UTS campus, and I ended up at Darling Harbour. I was interested in Darling Harbour Woodward Water Feature. As I researched about Ishigami’s models, there are mostly cloud, wood, landscape, water and mountain. I chose cloud and water to present this city clearly. I also used standing thin lines to display clearly this city. I chose architecture as a spiral fountain to show clearly this technique as well.
