Project
by B. J. Seagal
Advanced Modeling Class
Instructor: Jelena Erceg
Yale University, School of Architecture
New Haven, Connecticut
Project Description:
This project was a quest for a relationship of the design process and
decision making in computer modeling. The process of decision making was
related to the way software applications force/guide the user through
a process which is highly intuitive and creative on one side, and limited
by the design of the software and its limitations on the other.
Modeled with form•Z,
rendered with Strata StudioPro, post-rendered with Photoshop.

PI's Comments:
The projects involved in this case challenged the ideas of creative digital
studio environment to the full extent. The student's ideas and exploration
distinguished him among other students in this particular field. The challenge
was also that this student is an excellent designer and model builder that
used to work on ideas primarily through models and hand sketches, but was
able with some training to advance in the computer graphics in such an excellent
manner.
Jury Comments:
Kent Hubbell,
James Gibbs, and Alan Koch: It is thoroughly and beautifully completed,
lots to look at, nicely documented. There is good use of surfaces and
materials. We like the way it is broken down into component parts for
viewing. We only wish that the author had taken fuller advantage of a
more interesting backdrop instead of black.
Thomas Seebohm:
I was impressed by the play of light and shadow and the tectonic character
expressed in the images. Also interesting is the way the project is partially
deconstructed to show the interiors which seems to be more effective than
conventional sections. I would have hoped for some clues relating the
detailed models to the overall design.
