AXIS

axis is an imaginary line that is used to arrange a group of elements. An axis is a line which is established between 2 points in a space about which other spaces and buildings can be arranged.

when the architect use axis in their design it acts like a straight arrow on a sign, pointing in the right direcftion. for example- taj mahal at agra is planned by following the axis as a focal point to an entrance doorway so that the building is focused on the central tomb chamber.

In class I learnt about the axis through task of model making, building axes and making it was interesting task. In this activity we went on masking simple axis to complex axis and by connecting it through emotion. We have to choose 5-6 items by which we can make our model. Your activity was divided into 3 parts. First I have to create simple axis, so I kept 5 different object with different height types in a row, then we were asked to work on the proportions of objects and replace the object, then I arranged the object according to the height of object in order to make axis and in the final step I placed the objects on each other and also attached the emotion of “craving”. Craving is a desire of something, it could be anything, so I connect my axis through craving of height as I worked on proportions of the objects, there are many objects of different heights and all the small objects want to become like bottle. As shown in my last model making.

after model making i had clear view of axis and path and learnt many things.
