Storyboarding | Week 4


For the final assignment of this workshop we were told to storyboard our bath house project. This was extremely tricky to do because we were actually still in the early stages of our design schemes. This assignment made me finalize my bath house scheme earlier than planned so that I could try to imagine the spatial experiences of the user. For this storyboard, I decided to use the dark bold lines of the black liner pen and linear shading to emphasize on the roughness of the concrete material which I chose to use in my bath house project. I found this exercise extremely helpful in picturing what spaces could look like without computer aided softwares with the quick sketch of the pencil and lining of the pen.

The orientation of the storyline was to be read from left to right (1st row), right to left (2nd row) and left to right again (3rd row). So the first image shows the picture of what one might see when approaching the entrance of the bath house. He'll walk past the waiting area with built in seats and into the courtyard where the changing rooms are located. After that he will begin the journey of bathing by entering the sauna room, which contains steps that lead into the hot bath. The passageways are filled with hot water as one moves through the different cubes. He will exist the last bath by entering the external cold bath that is situated beside the sun beds where he can relax after the whole activity. The stairs at the end are where it leads back up to the courtyard where the changing rooms and showers are located.
