Abstractions to Modules


INSPIRATION

A few months ago a friend of mine, Edward Bello, showed me a photo he shot of the King Street Train Station in Seattle, WA. I instantly fell in love with the photo. When we were required to pick an inspiration that included trains for our semester project, I thought of this photo.
The contrast between the modern skyscrapers and the historical train station suited and expressed our semester project very well; the adaptive reuse and historical preservation of the Pullman, WA Pufferbelly Depot.


PARTIS

After analyzing the photo as a whole and also focusing on certain aspects of the photo I sketched 50 parti sketches that expressed vertical and horizontal movement, linearity, contrasts between light and dark, connections and interaction, and layering. There are a lot of different elements in the photo I was able to produce a good variety of sketches. I decided to use neutral colors since the photo was taken in black and white.
