Architecture in Motion

Architecture in Motion:
The architecture in motion workshop was initially hard to understand conceptually. The idea of creating a short animation surrounding a space while still conveying its architectural themes was difficult to master in a short period of time. However as the weeks progressed I began to understand how this could be achieved through succinctly incorporating modelling, drawing and photography into a final animation.

My final submission was based around my bedroom and specifically how a room can be seen as an image of the person who lives inside. Hence the animation involved the room coming alive and eventually creating a person. It contained all the necessary elements and flowed well, however the direct link to the architectural space could have been further explored. If I had completed two other workshops first, possibly I would have spent less time on mastering these skills, allowing me to explore the architectural space in more depth.

From this workshop I have seen that creating a short animation is a valid way to communicate your ideas about an architectural space. It achieves this sucessfully as it allows several mediums to come together which would otherwise be difficult. Additionally it provided a conceptual link between modelling and drawing which subsequently proved helpful in latter workshops.
