Des!gn Elements & Pr!nc!ples

Design element and the principles describes the fundamental on the ideas, practice and strategies for good visual designs. The elements being used when we describe the design, and the principles helps us to understand composition in a larger scale. First step to create a successful visual composition is being aware on design principles. The principle can overlap each other and be used in all visual design.


 




















This image shows us some of the element and principles that work very well together in harmony and unity. In the back ground, you can see the staircase that leads to the next floor. You find a black massive column in the middle ground with horizontal lines from the roof down to the floor. Lounge seating behind the column and under the mezzanine on the right side. All the the horizontal and vertical lines from the column, furniture, speakers on the slabs between ground and upper floor, wall boards and the suspended ceiling goes parallel with each other and create a slick and elegant atmosphere. The primary colour black gives a contrast to the second colour yellow/gold that create the feeling of luxury. Both of this elements harmonize very well together to create that high class style. The shape of the wall board start from the ground and continous up to the next floor and ceiling with a back light . This repetition of the board create the primary vocal point in this space.

Yellow Splash of this week!



The Ideology behind the M!n! Project

Ideology: the branch of philosophy or psychology dealing with the orgin and nature of ideas.

Dolphin House complex was once a group of fine residences but after the years it became more and more a sad place to live. I feel a big reason for that is because they have close them self away from the rest of the "world" The complex is like a jail behind fences and heavy brick walls. 

My ideology is to make this complex more "visible" to the rest of the nabourhood. That's why I choose to go with more open selution in my project. White extirior walls and bigger windows to let more light in and a more contemporary feeling. Interaction between who is going to live there
                                          and to everyone around.

"Live togheter with a brighter future"

The M!n! Project

Our first mini sketch project is done and I'm ready for some real tears and pain on our upcoming degree project! On this project, i had to combine four existing apartment into one residental unit for 4
x-troubled young adult with one supervisor. Dolphins Barn in Dublin.

My misson was to create a fresh and cool home where these boys could put their past behind and support each other in a interactive
enviroment.

With water ripples as my concept, I went for the open solution where everyone could be linked and united with eachother and other people around them in their lifes
