Matt- Updated Drawings

Study Model

I will take more photos with the model outside with the sun to see how the light wells work on each level.

Detailed Floor Plans

I've added a lot of details to the walls and glass portions. I am almost done with the first and basement floors and will add to this post when I am finished. Just thought I would get thoughts and ideas - if there are any.

THIS IS IT!

All,

It’s curious to me that the level of work over the past few weeks has declined just as the pace should be picking up. It’s important to see ALL the drawings (site plan, floor plans, sections, elevations, diagrams and 3-d drawings) and a complete model before laboring over the idiosyncrasies that remain in your project. On Friday have ALL the drawings – no excuses – and a completed (it can be ugly) model that shows the final intent of your project.

Models!!

I will see new complete models tomorrow - yes?? Its your last chance!!!


A complete set of drawings is also important.

Nik - New Plan

So I have been working on this one plan this whole weekend......yes i know im taking a while but this plan gives me the rest of my plans. I am currently working out the circulation piece for the education "wing" and how it affects the lecture halls. I decided to allow the lower level where im raising the ground to become underground parking. I also bumped up the height of it to 10' but where the water hits im still sinking down to -6' roughly. I like where im going with it. Im also trying to rethink my structure for the education wing and trying to find a reason why i should keep it angled when the angle came from the lecture halls structure of where it use to be.

Nik - Updated Project

So after Amoia came and talked with me I have been thinking heavily about what she had said. I then tried it out really quickly by changing my current model and doing some sketching over my current plans. The project I think is really coming through now it allows me to open up my main plaza completely while having the lower plaza develop as an entrance. Everything else is pretty much the same. I will be working on this from now on because I believe it to be a better plan section and elevation. Of course this means I must put this project into ultra turbo mode in order to solve and finish up but I have faith.

rooftop farms & comments from Tuesday

You have all had a project for sometime now. What is important is to try to go beyond the planning of your projects concept and see it for an actual representaion of a place. I recommended to my D6 class to go to Detail magazine and find  a project which is similar in concept to develop details and material surfaces for your own project. After all, developing details is an anylatical process about seeing how other things have been made and adopt them for your conditions. It is another scale of design.

1/16th Scale

I am currently working on the site for this model so it will be better represented for friday in addition to working on my sections.

Design Requirements

Tomorrow

All,

Stacy had a review by an outside critic who exposed some critical issues and helped her find resolution on those issues. The project is now better and I'm glad she looked for alternative criticism and I encourage all of you to do the same. In light of this, Amoia and I came up with an idea of swapping class for half time tomorrow to look at each others studio projects as a kind of closed review. Pin up your work and your complete model and she will review it without you discussing it to see if it looks convincing and has followed through on its promise. If you don't have a complete set of drawings and a model I'm sure she won't be convinced and this will impact my view going forward. Plan to stay late and we can talk more even after the evening event. Who is doing the presentation?
