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?

New Roof Scheme



I agree with your comments about the ugliness of the roof form that was presented today in class. Therefore new images were chosen, incorperated and used to inform the shape of the enclosure. these drawings are incomplete but they show a near final form for how the wrapping will be utilized.



All

I was happy at the end of today's class; I feel everyone has asked questions of their project and has conveyed an understanding of why we have asked these questions and why the spaces are the way they are.

You all have a scheme.  The articulation of this scheme with elevations and development of the drawings... in section and plan should be your focus.

Two weeks is a good amount to time. If you all work hard and have your drawings at 1/16th on Tuesday  developed, our last class can be Friday the 9th, with the final a week from this... so this means you can have
the 13th off to produce.

I didn't get back to seeing Niama or Michael but i think you just have to keep going and draw, you can all post and I will respond if your need extra guidance. You can take a picture of a model or drawing to ask your question....Keep going - lets have some great projects.
