  9. Think outside the box: Where else can we find vernacular architecture? • Humans are just one type of animal! • Birds, chimps, termites, ants, spiders, bees, mice, beavers, and fish are just a few examples of “animal architectects!”

  10. Amazing birds builders!

  11. Animal architechture

  12. Vernacular Architecture: Biomimicry

  13. The Challenge! • Create a sculpture symbolizing a shelter structure. Use objects, detritus, and natural materials from your everyday life • The technique you’ll be using is assemblage: a sculptural technique of organizing or composing into a unified whole a group of unrelated and often fragmentary or discarded objects. • I will be providing cardboard as one of the elements you can choose to use

  14. Think! • What other materials are readily accessible to me? These could be naturally occurring, or a result of my consumption patterns • Can I learn anything about building from the indigenous population or local wildlife?

  15. Reminder! • Bring your sculpture materials next class!!!!

  16. The House my Habits Built • Review: • Vernacular architecture: based on local needs and construction materials, and reflecting local traditions. Vernacular architecture tends to evolve over time to reflect the environmental, cultural, technological, and historical context in which it exists (wiki) • Assemblage: an artistic process consisting of making 3d or 2d artistic compositions by putting together found objects (wiki) • Sculpture: the branch of visual arts that operates in three dimensions

  17. Examples of Assemblage Sculpture

  18. Examples of Assemblage Sculpture

  19. Sculptural considerations • How am I going to connect these different pieces together? • Sculptures can be viewed from all angles: think about top and bottom views of a sculpture as well as front, back, and sides

  20. Assembling the Assemblage!

  21. Assembling the Assemblage!

  22. Assembling the Assemblage!

  23. Assembling the Assemblage!

  24. Assessment • Does my structure represent a form of shelter? • Is it constructed using locally procured resources? • Is it sturdy and well built? • Is it unique to me? Does it reflect some aspect of my life, surroundings, or habits?

  25. Midpoint check

  26. Clean up!

  27. Good Job!

  28. Art Show! • What was your favorite part of this process? The most frustrating? • What were your experiences during the building process? Did you learn some techniques along the way? • What about your sculpture is unique to you? • What do you know now that you didn’t before?
