Tasks to be Completed over the break for Week 8 Studio

Refine and complete the Augmented Reality aspect of Assignment 1 for presentations during Week 8 studio! (You can borrow the iPhones from me during the next two weeks to evaluate and refine your work).

Must be Done over the break!!!
Create an A3 interactive PDF. This task is aimed at getting you fluid with the technology, and producing a poster document quickly. Consider a basic layout to your poster.

• Do the interactive PDF tutorial, and read through the tips document.
• Find a well known building form one of the following architects:
• Louis Kahn
• Tadao Ando
• Toyo Ito
• Frank Gehry
• Zaha Hadid
• Carlo Scarpa
• Le Corbusier
• Frank Lloyd Wright
• Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
  
• Make sure that you can find a textured 3D model of your building on Google 3D Warehouse.
  
• From Sketchup export 2 images of your model (think about framing from a human perspective) a 10 second walkthrough animation using views, and export the model as *.obj file format. (these will be the main pieces of your A3 interactive PDF).
  
• Install Microstation v8i from the samples folder for this course. (ftp://emustore.fbe.unsw.edu.au/Resources/samples/Arch/ARCH1390%20Representation%20Studio%20-%20Harkins/Programs/)
• Open your *.obj file in Microstation, and export your model in *.u3d file format. (This is the file format that allows you to embed 3D models in PDF's).
• Make a PDF using a layout program, considering placement of elements on the page.
  
• Your A3 PDF should include Title and architect of your building, some text about your building, (include the reference of where you obtain your text from), 2 image captures, 1 x 10 second animation, 3D model with 3 named and saved views, your name.
• Upload your PDF to a file sharing site, and include an image of your poster and a link to your PDF on your blog.
