DESCRIPTION
It was really not easy to nd a topic for my publication and I tried a lot of times but I didn’t see or didn’t think about one interesting thing called rhythm which plays quite big role in art. Modewlijk is that place where you can clearly see rhythms which are made from different kind of repetitions. Actually it’s kind of monotonic place with strictly structured rhythms but my idea was to show the beauty of it and translate architectural language to graphic design also using my musical skills which helped me to nd similar things in different art expressions. So I tried to use and show that monotony can be a good basic for a creativity but not boring and sad object.

Beautiful MonotonyRhythms of the Modelwijk
INTRODUCTION
Tadas Ciudaras, writter and designer
It was really not easy to �nd a topic for my publication and I tried a lot of times but I didn’t see or didn’t think about one interesting thing called rhythm which plays quite big role in art. Modewlijk is that place where you can clearly see rhythms which are made from different kind of repetitions. Actually it’s kind of monotonic place with strictly structured rhythms but my idea was to show the beauty of it and translate architectural language to graphic design also using my musical skills which helped me to �nd similar things in different art expressions. So I tried to use and show that monotony can be a good basic for a creativity but not boring and sad object.
MONOTONY IS A BASIC FOR A CREATIVITY BUT NOT A BORING
THING BY ITSELF
Cité Modèle – Modelwijk
The district is a clearly-de�ned area, originally containing 12 blocks con-taining some 1100 �ats. The communist architect Renaat Braem saw the construction of buildings nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 as ramparts to hold back the ‘ugly’ city. He was convinced that the grass would be greener on the other side!
The intention was to build of�ces and �ats for the 1958 World Exhibition that could subsequently be used as social housing. In the end, building work did not commence until 1958 and it wasn’t until 1963 that the �rst residents were able to move in. Even though they had to be given bales of straw to soak up all the mud, this was a veritable ‘Eldorado’ for the new tenants! By the standards of the time, the �ats were ultra-modern, with central heating, �tted kitchens, bathrooms and suchlike.

RHYTHM GENERATOR
These design patterns are based on Modelwjik
architectural rhythms which are very clearly expressed
in that area.
This tool helps you to see
beauty in the monotony and
shows how complex graphic design patterns
are made of structured rhythms.
TWO LOOPS
THREE LOOPS
ONE LOOP
STRUCTURE
GRID OF THE GROUNDS
The grids are very simple but it’s very useful for graphic designers to remind that layouts or forms can be created by simple grids.
Basic grid sistem can be
useful in making graphic
design
MONOTONYCAL ARCHITECTURE RHYTHMS MAKES PLAYFUL GRAPHIC DESIGN
Stylized balconies of four stages building in the Modelwjik
Repetition of the
balcony modules
makes a 3d illusion which
is also repetitive in dimension
One balcony module
Vertical 90 degrees re-�ections of module
Conected modules
Another example how patterns can be created by using a simple grid system
This is just a small detail which was founded in Modelwjik too. It has a clear metal sur-face with such a ornament on it. The ornament was transformed in graphic design waywhich also gives you a 3dimension illusion. So it’s rhythmical and playful.

The wall and the exit with security shutters
Windows in few rhythms
Logo whcih is based on 3D rhythm
Different repetition of lines
clearly shows you
illustration of some
architecture detail
This is collumns which are under the tunnel of Mod-elwijk hause which makes rhythm in dimension. Also the forms of cropped images makes the rhythm, when two rhythms are in one you can see stronger effect of the same thing
