Thesis Diagrams

这些是几年前我的毕业论文作业的分析图的一部分，我非常喜欢这些图。他们虽然在该网站“关于我”的栏目里放了好久了， 但是你还是得需要仔细看才能找到他们。现在我想把他们发布出来，是因为他们虽然简单但是在展出时却获得大量好评。我似乎在我的论文中花费了 95% 的时间来思考和研究，只有 5% 时间来实践。当展出临近时，我想要避免出现看起来很空洞的或者没完成的分析图，而一个方法就是做一个可以不断变化的电脑模型（通常是 SketchUp），特别是与项目周围所有的建筑一起分析。这样，我能够生成剖面，平面和透视图，并通过快速的Ps处理出像样的图。我发现的另一个方法，是让分析图的外观看起来很费劲然后其实是叠加了航拍地图。事实上，当开始一个新的项目时，我首先要做的是从谷歌地球拼凑高分辨率的地图只是为了这个原因，也许为了一些研究，哈哈。

I grabbed some of my favorite diagrams developed for my thesis project from a few years back. They actually have been living in this site under the “about me” section, but you have to dig a little to get to them. I wanted to post them because they were really simple to make but received a lot of good feedback during pinups. It seemed in thesis that I spent 95% of my time thinking and researching, and 5% actually producing. When pinups did roll around, I wanted to avoid having bare or unfinished looking diagrams. One way I avoided this was to always have a digital model in flux (usually Sketchup), especially one with all of the surrounding site buildings massed out. With this, I was able to generate sections, plans, and perspectives to quickly Photoshop over for decent looking diagrams. The other way I found to give diagrams the appearance that more work went into them then actually did was by overlaying aerial maps. In fact, the first thing I did when starting a new project was to piece together high res maps from Google Earth just for this reason and maybe some research haha.

第一个分析图通过 Kerkyteha 渲染的 SketchUp 基础模型，然后叠加在一张去色的航拍地图的上面。然后在上面Ps上一些颜色。你可以看到图片没有很好的排列，但是那没有那么困扰我。我也没有花费时间来移除设计项目用地上的停车场。我又花费了约几分钟的时间在 Keykythea 里渲染，然后花费了一个小时的时间在 Photoshop 里做整合工作。

The first diagram takes a basic Sketchup model rendered in Kerkythea as a clay model, and overlays it on top of a desaturated aerial image of the site. Then some color was Photoshopped on top. You can see that the aerial doesn’t line up perfectly but that didn’t really mater to me at the time. I also didn’t take time to remove the parking lot over my design. It took a few minutes to render in Kerkythea, and then an hour or so Photoshopping everything together.

对于接下来一张分析图，我对这张已经导出的 SketchUp 模型的剖面图有了一些想法。在 Photoshop 里，我涂黑了剖切的墙面，并且拉伸了很大的房间文字放在剖面上，为了掩盖模型缺乏的细节。颜色叠加也帮助掩盖了“SketchUp“的样子。

For the next diagram, I quickly massed out some ideas on top of my existing Sketchup model I already had going and exported the sections. In Photoshop, I darkened the section cut and stretched large words over the cut to hide the lack of detail in the model. The color overlays also help to hide the “Sketchup” look.

最后一张分析图的制作过程让我很高兴。我使用了Grasshopper，并且在我进行大地分析的时候生成了大量的 3D 模型。我想在展板上创造一些受欢迎的流程图，所以我用模型生成了一些Kerkythea基础渲染。因为分析图里有所有的几何图形和信息，我没有添加颜色并希望分析图能够简洁。每一个渲染图花费了几分钟的时间，完成了所有步骤花费了几个小时。大部分时间花在了打开不同的模型并导出的过程。

I’m happy with how this last diagram turned out. I had been playing around with Grasshopper and had generated a ton of 3D models while studying site forces. I wanted to create some process diagrams for a pinup, so I took the models and produced some Kerkythea clay renderings. Because of all of the geometry and information in the diagrams, I avoided adding color in hope of simplifying things. Each rendering took a couple of minutes and everything was finished in a few hours. Most of the time was spent opening the different models and exporting.
