for tomorrow

Rebekkah, All:

 Everyone is producing their own 1/32” site model without surrounding buildings.

3 schemes, each scheme should have associated plan and section sketches on trace for tomorrow.
 

The program is as follows, Visitor’s Park:

8,000 sq ft for:

-exhibit space of which should have an exterior component,
-auditorium: 1,500 sloped floor,
- Terrace/ overlook to river

5,000 sq ft:

- Archive, (library) with reading room

 We are starting with this general program placement until we develop a concept, an understanding of scale, monmnetality, for this new place.

Collect images, precedence to continue the discussion.

Site information, to be completed for next class:

-Last class was not fully productive because the given site drawings were pinned up without:

1. site parameters: being 20’ deep space below ground, (includes long section)
2. Transverse section cut at the visitor’s overlook
3. Total of (3) plan cuts: at tomb level, at ground, and roof.

(The drawing team is working on completing the above at 1/32” scale)

-These same 5 drawings listed above require an overall of the proportion systems of the circle and square geometries from the tomb. (Lee Ann is working on this)

The larger site model is on hold, till we see the smaller 1/32” scale model with surrounding buildings.

-map of area color discussed with Adrian

-history to be simplified and origin tomb location to be completed by Matt and Michael
-Anthony to bring in drawings for Tshumi building in context to Columbia campus.
