Week 10 Le Modulor: The Modular is a measurement ruler of proportioning system which is developed by the Swiss born architect Le Corbusier based on Fibonacci series. Actually it was created to realize the mathematical proportions of human body as well as to develop the form and function of architecture. Here human measurements, the double unit, the Fibonacci numbers, and the golden ratio are the main things in this system.  Le Corbusier divided human bodies into two sections in golden ratio.  Golden ratio proportion can be used in architecture, art, music etc  which provides divine proportion .  So the importance of the Modular is to “harmonious measurement of the human scale”. One of example of this system: Unite d', Marseilles, France According to Le Corbusier, Modular is able to give the correct measurement of anything such as it can be cabinet, door, buildings and urban spaces etc. There is an another example, where we can see a human figure is measure...

week 9 Form follows function & Function follows form: Before discussing about the meaning of “form follows function” we need to know what is form and function. “Form is shape, visual appearance, or configuration of an object.” On the other hand, Function is an action or requirements to operate any kind of work. Designer should remember it always. Nowadays architectural trends are changing very rapidly. Architects and designers are mainly focusing on the outlook of a product, constructing buildings without connecting the internal spaces of the structure. Because of this main feature of the functionality is being ignored and not getting viewer’s attention. For example: form follows function is an object which helps us to perform certain functions to create a design about the main subject. For designing anything such as a website, we need to understand the function first. Otherwise, making decision about the form could be wrong.  So before designing anything such as it...

Week 9 Prototype : “A prototype is an early sample or model built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from”. So in short, prototyping is a process of making a model of a system. According to information system, prototypes are engaged to help system designers to make a model of a information system which can be easy to manipulate for the users. It is a part of analysis phase. Prototypes can be in different forms such as low sketches or paper screen, high tech operating systems using CASE( computer aided software engineering). Many companies use multiple prototyping tools like paper, visual basic etc. "Some Advantages of Prototyping:  Reduces development time.  Reduces development costs.  Requires user involvement.  Developers receive quantifiable user feedback.   Facilitates system implementation since users know what to expect.   Results in higher user satisfaction.   Exposes d...

Week 8 Photo montage: I have created a photo montage video based on my photographic pictures. Although anyone can make photo montage by using software like cut pro, after effect, adobe premiere pro, windows live movie maker etc. But creating product, any kind of designing, ideation etc. for everything we need a good arrangement of the object.

As a client, I want to make my video like when user see this photo montage they feel like  telling a story about that photographs those I used in it. So that’s why I said ideation and arrangement is very important. Ideation :
