PROJECT 3 SITE VISIT WEEK 9

Hi all

Please be there in the studio at 2 sharp (not 2 15 or 2 30) and after a brief feedback session we will head off to the site

Attendance in both parts of the studio is NOT OPTIONAL

This is especially for students who have struggled with Project 2 and who would benefit from this one on one feedback session.

And it is crucial that we visit the site together so that you can ask questions.

See you in class

Please come prepared with sketchbooks, pencils, site plan (also accessible on the master site), a camera, and tape measure as you might need to start measuring up the site for an accurate site plan.

PROJECT 2 SITING

You are probably at a stage when you would need to consider (or reconsider) carefully the siting of the building - and ask yourself whether the site should be a part of the model - if not - why - it is not about whether the tutor wants to see the site in the model or whether the 250 X 250 will allow for it - but how best to indicate it graphically (not verbally) as a part of the overall story.

Nevertheless, you need to be clear about whether your project is

1 set on the side of a cliff face

2 set in a valley

3 submerged into a sloping hill or cut into it to join two roads at an upper or lower level

4 bridging a creek or a river

5 set at the waterfront (harbour or river)

6 inserted into an existing urban fabric or a building or set in an empty carpark

These are very exciting possibilities and even though it is a generic site it is will have some impact on the CONDITIONS and DESIRES of

a movement
b view
c light

STUDIO TASK WEEK 7

Dear Tute Group

For next Wednesday please bring the following

1 Final drawings plans sections and axonometric (all POCHE)
2 ONE sample of what the submission drawing will look like (this is because presentation wise our group was a little bit weak last time so I want to make sure I know what you are attempting - Please look at the link I have posted on the blogsite about
3 Working model (1:100) or Final Model in Progress

IMPORTANT: For students whose have had one or less consultation please bring between 1-3 design solutions so the Studio session can be fruitful (this is not whimsical - we as students and tutors are pressed for time therefore having more than one option means that the tutor can tell you what works and what doesnt )

The scale is 1: 50 for students working with small structures 1-2 rooms The scale is 1: 100 for students working with larger/more expansive schemes

IMPORTANT: You will need to get your scale approved before you go into 'production mode'
We will follow the roster system again and make sure everyone gets a fair go

PROJECT 2 TYPOLOGIES Part 1

Hi all

This week you should start to think what kind of architectural type your project corresponds to. You could say: "Must I define my building along these lines...I am designing a work/living space". However, we argue that this is too vague a definition. It has a strong functional undercurrent and it automatically tends towards the design of domestic space.

Hence, it is suggested that you think of the TYPE. It is a suggestion of course but it will give your project A HIGH DEGREE OF DEFINITION in terms of light and view.

The possible types are:
