week 10: Container Home Process

This week has been very helpful in the development of my project about the container home. As part of my review, Amber and Professor Wendy were able to provide me with feedback that is helping me design my floor plan in a good way.

As part of the feedback, one of the most important suggestions is the need to rethink the placement of the library. Amber suggested that the library should be moved upstairs so we can keep that quiet space more private and actually quiet. This is better because library room would be in a more private space.
Another part of the feedback was also put a little bit more of details in my conceptual design, related to material, skims and sustainability.

Another significant topic that we covered in our class was building codes and regulations. It is important to consider the regulations depending on the place of the construction, especially in cases such as the construction of a container home. I will be researching on container homes in my place, which is the focus of this week.

Generally, this week was about showing to the Professors our design process. Moving forward, I will be making the necessary changes to my floor plan, as well as conducting research on building codes.

INT 270 Ruth Hernandez   Blog 1  This weak   we talk about the importance of knowing all the basic elements that we can use to design for our future interiors...  First of all, of them was the POINT: ‘‘All pictorial form begins with the point that sets itself in motion...  The point moves... and the line comes into being—the first dimension. If the line shifts to form a plane, we obtain a two-dimensional element.  In the movement from plane to spaces, the clash of planes gives rise to body (three-dimensional) ... A summary of the kinetic energies which move the point into a line, the line into a plane, and the plane into a spatial dimension.”   Paul Klee,  The Thinking Eye: The Notebooks of Paul Klee (English translation) 1961. The point indicates a position in space. (C hing pg3.)  A point has no dimension, but it helps us to organize our surrounding elements and stabilizes them. Now, two points can define an axis, and helps to organiz...

INT 232 Ruth Hernandez week 9: Concept statement, and Diagrams This week, we look a number of new forms of drawings and project processes that are going to be useful as we continue the development of our container home designs. Although some of the concepts were familiar to me, there were others that were new and proved to help me better understand how to organize a space more effectively.  One concept that was familiar to me was the concept statement. This is a concept that I have used in the past on some projects, so it was comfortable to work with it again. This concept helps to ensure that the entire design is tied together by a single idea or vision.  Each of these concepts plays a significant part in the early stages of the design, especially in relation to the planning. Adjacency matrix is a tool that can be employed to plan and arrange the relationship between various rooms within a given space. This tool can be represented in a table format that indicates the level of...

  INT 270 Ruth Hernandez   Blog 3 Balance, unity, and harmony We learned how balance, unity, and harmony could affect our perception of the interior space. Balance, unity, and harmony can help designers create interior spaces that are comfortable, organized, and harmonious instead of chaotic or with disorder. In interior design, balance is described to be the distribution of visual weight in a given interior setting. It can be achieved by using elements such as symmetry, asymmetry, and radial pattern balance. When it comes to sketching, balance aids in moving the viewer’s eye in a particular interior setting, thus avoiding the appearance of one side of a setting as being heavier than the opposite side. Unity refers to all the elements within a space working together . Elements of unity within an environment are achieved by using the materials, colors, textures, and shapes consistently. When sketching an environment, repeating certain shapes or lines helps relate seeming...
