all, important

LeeAnn: when I walked away from our discussion, I wasnt sure if your plan and section was matching in terms of the entry area and how high it is off the ground, so please check this.

Anthony: we didnt speak but I saw your drawings and markups, they look complete, but the grid or pavement on the ground seems like it needed more work to mesh the lines below and above, see what Li did with his project, he changed it 3 times before he got it.

Richard, Matt, Steve:
I require that you send me updated drawings before Tuesday for another review; please take this seriously or your grades will be effected.

Everyone must have elevations!

checklist and link

Final Check list:

1. draw grid:

1A. grid means material-

In plan: material lines of pavement/ plaza. You can also have material-pavement lines on interior public spaces.

1B. grid in elevation- material joints that works with proportion of structure and indicates a material idea.

2. draw poche:

Poche of underground plan  

Poche of structure

3. Structure:

Show beam depth in section.

4. Diagrams:

Concept diagram

Program Diagram

Structure Diagram

Circulation Diagram

Event Diagram

Envelope Diagram—I added this

5. Large scale drawing or model:

1/8” special piece with scale person.

See portfolio samples, click and wait, click and click on d1 etc, it is slow so be patient

alex, i thought your reference was esienman, that the roof became a grounded landscape;

your section looks like a proposal without an economy which equals thoughts of sustainability; 

economy of time in design and construction,... money, material.

what is the meaning behind this?; i would be more interested in what the interior is then what the exterior does....above are some examples of surface and structure, you must have an intent of both...

I would think the structure should be reminiscent of a landscape...this being for the parks department and in and of the a park and the quality and lines of structure are the interior is interesting...is there a high point which you can get to so you can see the water?

final model scale

in response to rebekka and alex....
required:

...go to the library to find the plans and sections!, make copies -
analyize what you see and find your take on the section and then present
what you found and your approach next class

John, Rebekka, Lee Ann--Aldo Van Eyck is the Architect

John, you should also consider swapping the entry and the auditorium-.... sketch this through.

Rebekka- can you post Van Eyck sketch series that shows the variations in his plans re the circle use ...on the blog for everyone. I have attached this one for John to start with.
