Hope you've all had another good look at this week's lecture to gear you up for Experiment 2. Below are some axonometrics for you check out:

HYPOTHESES
hy·poth·e·sis
1. a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as anexplanation for the occurrence of some specified group ofphenomena, either asserted merely as a provisionalconjecture to guide investigation (working hypothesis) oraccepted as highly probable in the light of established facts.
2.
a proposition assumed as a premise in an argument.
3.
the antecedent of a conditional proposition.
4.
a mere assumption or guess.
CLIENT: Maria Agnesi
It was her pioneering nature forged the pathway for female academics.
Maria’s focussed and goal driven tendencies helped her succeed in everything she pursued.
Her mathematics studies and her religious practices were contradictory.
She was intent on passing on her knowledge.
She was an introvert – perhaps as a result of being one of many children.
CLIENT: Isacc Newton
He merged religion with sciences and maths.
He brought awareness to the way light is dependent on the material it interacts with.
He was determined to prove that gravity exerts force on everything.
Being overwhelmed by his knowledge of the physical world led to his mental breakdown.
His stubborn attitude hindered his ability to trust his friends and family.
CLIENT: Sigmund Freud
He was calculated in terms of his approach to his research.
His patients were hysterical.
He spent his entire life in poor health.
His life was obscure.
His research methods were unorthodox.
I WOULD SUGGEST YOU PICK TWO FROM EACH TO DRAW YOUR AXOS, CONSIDERING YOU WILL BE DESIGNING FOR 2 OF THESE PEOPLE, SO KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN:
“Choose a specific hypothesis related to two of the three clients listed above and create an architecture consisting of three spaces. The first two spaces should be at either end of a structure made from 10 interconnected rectangular forms. The third space should be on the landform that articulates a relationship to the rectangular forms. The spaces at either end of the rectangular forms are the clients laboratories (imagine the experiment to test your hypothesis will actually be conducted there). The space on the landform is a place for your clients to meet and exchange ideas. The landform should allow each client to arrive at their meeting in a distinctive and significant way.”
CRYSIS TIPS - HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES IN CRYSIS
HI EVERYONE, HERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO USING FRAPS WHEN TAKING SCREENSHOTS FROM CRYSIS - thanks Mr Wallace:
High Resolution Crysis Screenshots
1. figure out the ratio of your game screen (top right corner) divide width by height (ie 1600/900 = 1.77)
2. use the ratio to set high resolution dimension using 4096 as width. (ie 4096/1.77 = 2314)
3. set the dimensions in crysis:
press ~ when in game mode to get the console command prompt
type:
e_screenshot_width = 4096 [press enter]e_screenshot_height = 2314 [press enter]
4. capture screen
set up the angle in game
type:
e_screenshot 1
5. Image will be saved in your game folder under screenshots\high-res\
image will be in targa format - edit with photoshop. save smaller jpgs (1920x1200) and upload these to your blog.

Hope you all are making good progress with your 2nd Sketchup model and stair design.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
- The idea behind each of your stairs, how can you best express your idea? Think about your idea in terms of your stair’s, structure, form, choice of materials.
What could be the idea behind this stair design?
- Use the Section Plane tool to help you with designing your stairs, and also to help show your overall design.
- Don’t forget to upload all your hand drawings and Sketch up images to your blog BEFORE CLASS.
- I also recommend printing out the studio task before coming to class too.
- Either bring your Sketch up file, or your lap top with the file on it. (Mac users, make sure the file type, .skp, is included on the end of your file name when you save it.)
- Have a read of what is due on March 27, eg “THE 18 SKETCH SECTIONS _ Do the 18 sketch sections communicate a distinctive and significant approach the student has taken with respect to the artists work and their relationship to the datum?”
And,
- “THE STAIR _ Does the stair demonstrate a distinctive and significant approach to bringing the completed artwork into the gallery?”
See you Wednesday.
PS, Someone left their glasses behind last week.
