site visit tomorrow- meet at 9:20 am at

116th Street-Columbia University stop on Broadway; Take the #1 train.
We will meet outside the station, my cell 631 355 1328.

Trip to the site

Can you post the time and location for our trip to the city tomorrow?

Thank you.

all, for tomorrow's jury:

Please be on time, pin up in the hall by 9:15. We have a new guest critic coming- Jamie Albergo.
Please make sure your analysis is organized and clearly marked with the categories discussed- which are:
geometry/ grid, program: with key, structure, circulation, enclosure, material, ground

Looking forward to the review, pin up photographs of the models in the correct order to emphasized views of the analysis.

the ramp slices to enter the space- this should be in a diagram...as seen on moma site,
print each piece on moma web site to pin up

sample- models, grid study, axon diagrams, final model

sample: transparent program study with structure study

due Friday with a look ahead, divide with your partner!

Part 1: was due Tuesday

Assembly drawings site plan, every floor plan, sections, and 

elevations plus images and description of your

precedent at three scales:

1.       site plan for scale of city …analysis geometry of site plan

2.       smaller scale 

3.       larger scale

Part 2: was due Tuesday, 

REFINE from class comments for next class

2D Drawings via: transparent overlays/ include grid-geometry  

1. General concept of your precedent

2. Concept of Geometry with

2a. Concept of Program Assembly- provide multiple 

frames to represent each level

3. Concept of Circulation - provide multiple frames to 

represent each level

4. Concept of Structural assembly with

4a. Concept Enclosure

5. Concept of project base/ ground with

5a. Concept of project as action

Show grid…Through varying thicknesses or zones of lines, 

grid, and figures produce (transparent)

overlays which represent the following concepts through the plans and sections of the project.

The best examples were: Alex’s group…though 

missing grid and too small  and

Rebecca’s …though too large and layers 

can be combined per the above.

Part 3: was due Tuesday, refine or complete!

3D models:

1. General concept of your precedent

2. Concept of Geometry with

2a. Concept of Program Assembly- provide multiple

frames to represent each level

3. Concept of Circulation - provide multiple frames to 

represent each level

4. Concept of Structural assembly with

4a. Concept Enclosure

5. Concept of project base/ ground with

5a. Concept of project as action

The best examples were: Alex’s group… structure 

needs to be rebuilt for what it is,

circulation needs to combine the stair movement
and the open space shape, and concept model

needs to be to scale and relative to the plan cut out assembly.

Part 4: new work for Friday

3D Axons Drawings to match models above:

1. General concept of your precedent

2. Concept of Geometry with

2a. Concept of Program Assembly- provide multiple 

frames to represent each level

3. Concept of Circulation - provide multiple frames to 

represent each level

4. Concept of Structural assembly with

4a. Concept Enclosure

5. Concept of project base/ ground with

5a. Concept of project as action

With two perspectives that are significant to the concept

Program model should be made out of solid pieces 

assembled relative to structure

as discussed with Michael and Scott.

Part 5: Next week at large scale…to be further 

discussed Friday.

Drawing, diagrams alla Richard Meier:

1.       geometry

2.       structure

3.       circulation

4.       enclose

Scott had these drawn last class but without the grid.

Drawings: redraw the main plans and sections; provide 

an exploded axon of the project- ink on velum with overlay of the main concept lines.

Final Model: build a final model of the project at 

the large scale to match the drawings

listed above, you should have copies of this class as listed in Part 1 for Friday.

Leeann:

I recommend you start with building circulation 

literally at the larger scale so we

can see the detail of it. Also, your project has the
concept of material as light.

Everyone can think about just adding a material board to there presentation.

Adrian and Michael: 

I recommended you built the structure and the detail 

of how the pieces attach to it.

The rest of you need to catch up and work! Grades 

are depressing .... to follow.

I applaud Alex, Richard, Rebecca, Adrian: for there 

hard work -consistent drawings and

models for the last project;
Alex and Adrian – please bring in your models and drawings to pinup in hall as part of the d1 exhibit.

Please confirm you read this by commenting--even if its just  to say read.

General Sample diagrams

For Tuesday

Step 1     for Tuesday

Assembly drawings of your precedent at three scales:

1.       scale of city or town 

2.       1/16  (or no larger  than 8x11)

3.       1/8”    (or no larger then 11x17)

Drawings should includes site plan, every floor plan, sections, and elevations

Also read about the building, find images, diagrams which will help you with your analysis.

Step 2     for Tuesday (one person from the group)

Drawings:

Through varying thicknesses or zones of lines, grid, and figures produce (transparent) overlays which represent the following concepts through the plans and sections of the project:

1. General concept of your precedent

2. Concept of Geometry 

3. Concept of Program Assembly- provide multiple frames to represent each level

4. Concept of Circulation - provide multiple frames to represent each level

5. Concept of Structural assembly

6. Concept Enclosure

7. Concept of project base/ ground

8. Concept of project as action

Use colors which are high tech and with similar range, note in photoshop use pantone series.

Step 3 for Tuesday (other person from the group)

Physical models: produce the following models which represent:

1. General concept of your precedent

2. Concept of Geometry 

3. Concept of Program Assembly- provide multiple frames to represent each level

4. Concept of Circulation - provide multiple frames to represent each level

5. Concept of Structural assembly

6. Concept Enclosure

7. Concept of project base/ ground

8. Concept of project as action

The scale should be about 1/16” or as indicated above. 

Next project, find your name; your grouped but not required to work together

Find your name and bring in plans, sections, elevations, and views, images, descriptions of these projects, please go to the library, do not rely on the Internet alone!

The plans, sections ...should all be at the same scale, preferably a scale which you feel comfortable building a model.
