LA 2101 . Advanced Digital Representation
Digital landscape representation involves the manipulation of a broad range of data resources using techniques that are flexible within an iterative design process. There will be an intensive exploration of the methodologies, techniques, and theories occurring in digital representation in the typical landscape architecture office. We will also explore appropriate CG techniques in other visual arts industries in order to expand our repertoire of skills. While focusing on creating images and animations from 3d animation software there will also be an intense focus on the art of storytelling within representation.
Students will develop techniques to:
-
1. identify and apply appropriate methods for site documentation for translation into digital models and illustrations;
2. create a measured site plan from surveyed drawings and site inventory;
3. apply knowledge from 3D modeling software to develop land scape and architectural forms;
4. classify and explain intricacies of landscape data models;
5. demonstrate knowledge of landscape data models through applicable representation formats;
6. apply file linking paradigms to large scale projects;
7. develop storyboards necessary to explain complex landscape systems, design intent, and supported research and analysis;
8. create animated representations based on storyboarding;
9. develop a complete presentation package using animation and still imagery and interactive elements.
