2/28 PIN-UP REQUIREMENTS

Have 11×17 sheets to pin-up: these can be printed, hand-drawn, or trace pinned over a blank page. Basic requirements below are drawn directly from the midterm with modifications. We will use the pin-up to talk about where you are and how to move toward midterm, especially, developing the massing models and formal concepts.

Mix of maps, charts, and other diagrams:

  • Diagram(s) of key responses/analysis of the neighborhood
  • Diagram(s) of resident choices (demographics)
  • Diagram(s) of site showing important considerations for your project (can be a sketch over the site plan developed as a group)

Bubble diagrams (non-spatial, showing adjacencies and connections)

  • Diagram of typical residential spaces showing clustering, sharing
  • Diagram of each communal program (starting to get into the specific spaces needed for the program (ie an urban farm: may have outdoor planting areas, greenhouse, storage, potting, classroom, farm stand…)
  • Diagram of how the residential and communal programs relate

Block diagrams (program “blocks” to scale)

  • Overall of major program elements
  • plan diagrams as needed to show major concepts
  • Section diagram of entire “building” showing program blocks and including floor levels, opaque vs. transparent walls, site context.

Sketches, diagrams, and/or photos

  • Formal and sharing concepts, precedents, and how you can incorporate.

If you’re already wanting to think in 3D using massing models, that’s great feel free to work on.

2/26 REQUIREMENTS

Our Dean Reed Kroloff has requested full faculty and student attendance at the Greg Pasquarelli lecture, 6:00pm Center Core. Please return from the Field Trip in time to attend and make sure you see me there.
