The following week, after receiving my C&C, I improved my abstract design by adding depth using various pencil intensities, and intersecting 2D & 3D squares. As much as the patterns were decorational, it had a meaning behind it (representing anatomy from the body parts to the intricacy of the bee hive.) If I could, I would have made a painting of this composition.
My reflection from this assignment is to always picture things from outside the box... or you could really look at the box (zoom in) or tilt it (different angles) and through this process I have learned to appreciate things more thoroughly and derive inspiration for my architectural projects.
The finalized keywords were:
- Colony (which is represented by the various forms of hierarchy in this composition. It is both clustered and centralized in terms of formal organization, which is what I think a beehive would be...)
- Busy (Busy as a bee, get it? Bees always have a task to do, it is even ingrained into their anatomy, and they are also busy in the way they fly, the way they are divinely designed, and the way they make their hives and colony.)
- Scale (referring the architectural scale, not insect scale as I really had to zoom in to appreciate the various details. These details are larger than life, and you'd need a microscope to really appreciate the intricacy of the bee's work. It is simply amazing!)
Other keywords I would have used but didn't make the cut: anatomy, buzz, cells, deconstructed (but this might be a theme for my final project!) (also did you notice the keywords are alphabetical?)
