Hello all visitors! My name is Sarah Mokhtar and I
am currentlya very enthusiastic first year student at
Victoria University’s campus of Architecture and Design. 

My most compelling assignment of the first semester was
‘Fluid Form’, which focuses on the “slow curve”
juxtaposed with the straight line or edge. When portraying
this assignment we were required to build an abstract 3
dimensional composition and a diagrammatic
implementation of that composition. We were given quite
a lot of freedom for this assignment so technically, we
could do anything. I love, love, love doing this project!!
Hope you do too

So for my precedents i used Zakary Kinnaird and
Office DA:
Zakary Kinnaird- from Zarkary Kinnaird I took the idea
of sharp folds and rhythmic pattern.
Office DA-from Office DA I adapted to concept of
overlaying the same standard shape to produce a flowing
and concise effect.

PROCESS:

For the model side of my project I used thin copy paper
sharply folded to create crisp edges. I agitated some of
these edges to generate a soft ‘fluff’ effect. This can be
seen in images….. another texture I added to the model
were needle holes on the inside slates.

I decided to make the drawing addition of the project a
sketch on ripped masking tape. To start the process I
taped masking tape to a plain piece of paper. Then, I
drew the views onto the masking tape and used water
colour to make a sort of backing behind the drawings.  
The water colour backing helps to define the details.
The sketch consisted of a plan, an elevation and a
section view of the model. Once I had the main template
finished I scanned the image into Photoshop and
added labels and numbers. The overall effect of this
process makes the work very unique and persuasive
to the eye.

THEMES

I wanted to overall look to be quite Japanese: Elegant,
by means of simplistic outlines yet capturing the eye
with the intense detail that has been composed to
create the structure. I also wanted the viewer to feel
the scene as ‘quiet’ and to sense a sort of history or
past attached to the model. All the textures that were
added to the paper are there to help with this ‘history’.
