Primitive Breakdown-Week1(Lab1) Exercise 3-The Prison vs disneyland analysis



Teacher, I create 2 tables for the comparison. I don't know why i can't bring up the table. You have to scroll all the way down. In order to see the table. Sorry for the inconvience.



































Prisons are meant to be scary, powerful looking places, while Toontown is meant for fun and childlike enjoyment





How is this reflected in the lines and angles of the buildings?

How does the sense of scale reflect the different purposes of the prisons and Toontown?






















































How is this reflected in the lines and angles of the
buildings?



Prisons



Toontowns



The design of the
prisons is simple
and ordinary.







The design of the
toontown is
more complicated.



The lines in the
designing of the prisons are more straight and static. The lines are neat and
well arranged. Gives a dull and boring look.



The lines are
vertically straight but the mostly curves and not. Gives a livelier look.



The prisons have tall
and sharp pillars. It restrict the movement of prisoners.



The toontown have
short, big and round pillars to support the buildings. It gives us a sense of
more comfort and we feel inviting. Kids might like it.




The Angles are mostly
sharp. In psychological view, sharp angles might look unfriendly and fierce.




The angles are mostly
curves. It does not have sharp angles like the prisons. Curves angle might
look more inviting.







The patterns on the
buildings are repeated.
(like the windows)(eg. prison 02)




Tall Metal poles and
fences are also repeated






However, The pattern
design on the structure is not repeated. It can be seen that each section of
the structure have different design. (words, cartoon on the buildings like a
castle with flags).













































































How does the Sense of Scale reflect the different purposes of
the prisons and toontown?






Prisons






Toontowns









The scale is long and
big. The distance seems to look long.









The scale is small. The
distance between each is closely packed together.






This is because the
designer would want to take advantage of the space to house more prisoners.
Although the scales can be big but the size of every cells in the buildings
seems to be the same and it is small.






This is because
toontown wants to present all of its facilities and entertainment to the
public at one go.
