This is my first try. This model show something drop down to water and the walls shows the water ring flow out from center.
The second one based on the connection collage and study model about it.
I develop the second idea on rhino to get the last one.
The interlocking of spaces is a great concept that works with your spaces - dormitories and support spaces. The digital 3d models are hard to see the interlocking. A physical model placed in the site would be a good next step. Also, the various colors represent different spaces - start thinking about materials - as they are very similar in size depth and height - I know that you are governed by zoning. Try to look at the site and the views and perhaps the orientation of the taller element, may want to be more up the hill away from the water to allow for more views.
ReplyDeleteWell stated Jill, in addition, I would like to see what this model looks like in context. You did all this site analysis and your designs are floating in space, where exactly does it fit on the site. Do you have full lot coverage? Did you notice this site was at one time all park space? How do you feel about adding green features or not building on the entire site to allow for green space on the ground or in the sky? What did the site analysis tell you and how did it shape your massing or did it not? I like that you are attempting to break up the mass of the building as a whole.
ReplyDeletei agree with all the comments above.
ReplyDeletethe interlocking space are a great opportunity to work with the variations through from the fine grain to the larger grain which was evident in your figure ground anaylysis.
the notion of the clashing grids can work into your interlocking space creating tension and dynamism.
i agree too that the fact that the site was once park and the lack of green space in the area can contribute to your design outcome and futher enhance the notion of interlocking spaces.
