CURRICULUM VITAE

Marcelyn Gow - Intro CAD Spring 1997

Assignment one

The first assignment is a study of pierced walls based on a labyrinthine model. I used an underlay of the Berlin Museum Extension by Daniel Libeskind as a reference, constructing a fictional labyrinth using the wall and opening tools.

Assignment two

In the second assignment the shear and radial bend tools were used to implement distortions on the slab and column or "Domino House" model. The final renderings are a combination of wireframe views overlaid on Renderzone views using Adobe Photoshop.

Assignment three

The third assignment is an investigation into the Boolean operations using unions and differences to carve spaces out of an initially solid volume. Transparency is used to demonstrate the volumetric nature of this model.

Assignment five

The fifth assignment is an investigation into the layering in a building. I chose to do an analysis of Rem Koolhaas' Kunsthal II. A series of smaller models demonstrating various layers are combined with a perspective model of the building for the final rendering.

Assignment six

The sixth assignment is an investigation of curves. I used the C Mesh tools to model a series of two dimensional curvilinear sections into a more extensive volume. This volume is pierced by thin slabs and several smaller internal volumes.

Assignment seven

In the seventh assignment I chose to explore the use of image mapping and lighting to create a model which is volumetrically simple, attaining its complexity due to reflection, transparency, and articulation of specific textures.

Assignment eight

The eighth assignment is a Quick Time movie in which I used image maps to project stills from a real time video of a streetscape onto several c meshes and orthogonal volumes. The animation is a stop frame in which I altered the c meshes and the position of the volumes between frames to produce distortion.
