Analysis of Designer

Applying Design Terms

In this section of work, you are going to look at the photographs of the architects work and do some sketches from them.

We are also going to be building the terms in 3D using plasticine and card.

These sketches have to focus in on particular design features that you think apply to the design terms you have been looking at in the previous exercise.

You will use the main design elements to analyse the designer’s work to highlight the main features. Use the design features that you drew in the design language exercise.

There are some examples here, which are looking at Frank Lloyd Wright's work and the work of Frank Gehry.

• As you can see, the drawings do not have to be exact copies, but enough to bring out the features that you are highlighting.
• Do not try to apply all of the design terms, but pick out the most relevant ones.
