Cloud Diagram 1:

I was inspired by it because I like the art style.

Tall cloud:

I was inspired by this because I felt the perspective was unique, it look like a building towering over me.

Bubble Building:

The bubble building were shown to us in class and I feel it ties into the cloud building as well. Because clouds produce water

Project Statement



I am going to recreate images of clouds with no information as to how to design it. I will be making 3d structures out wood. This will push both my ability to problem-solve and design. I hope to apply this concept in the future.

1) New ideas for the project.

2) Ideas I could improve on.

3) Ideas for new projects that relate to this one.

4) How would how do this if you were leading it?

5) Anything else that you think will help make this better.

Thesis Statement

This project is centered around recreating 2D images of clouds into 3D structures.

It's important because it allows users to practice abstracting with little to no information or instruction.

The plan of this project was to transform 2D images into 3D using Rhino

then exploring with different materials such as paper, foil and foam to build in real life.

Something I had learned after this project is that I wish I created a stronger plan by planning out every step I'm going to do, then identifying mistakes with that plan along with getting feedback from other people.

Precedents

Cloud image:

To me this cloud really looked like something I could make into a building.

Nimbus Cloud (DBZ):

John M. had suggested that I draw onto the cloud basing it off of Dragon Ball Z's Nimbus cloud.

Bubble Buildings:

In class we had seen images of bubble buildings, later on someone had suggested that I use this a precedent for my project.
