FINAL THOUGHTS ON SL PROJECT AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

NOTEPAD FOR THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS PROJECT CAN DEVELOP FURTHER AND BE RESOLVED OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS:










GIFTING:




THINGS TO DEVELOP AND WORK ON FOR FINAL PRESENTATION:




REACTIVE ARCHITECTURE:


WHY I'VE DONE WHAT I HAVE DONE IN THIS DESIGN AND WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED AND RE-THOUGHT:


-screening, which areas i've screened out and which views i've celebrated and why


-entrances/thresholds - need to think about these, is the entry from the "host" building in real life?






ideas discussed with Ian:


-interior floors and arrangement of spaces needs to be organic too to reflect the exterior, at the moment i've got two separate elements and the interior and exterior need to be cohesive. 


-parasitic architecture- look into this idea of the host and the parasite, parasitic architecture responds to the spaces already presented to it instead of just creating what i want instead, use the crevases and small seemingly-useless spaces created where my building meets teh existing building and use them in a productive way to inform what spaces go where in the interior. 


-why do i want these "natural" elements, what is actually natural about them and what do they do to a space that i think is so desirable about them, be really specific..


-(need to photoshop images of my building into the actual site to communicate more effectively how it would work)








Judy:


-connections and DETAILS, edges, small subtle elements need to be considered carefully and fit into the overall programme of the building, needs to be relevant and considered. 


-be careful of "feature walls", just creating nice textures that don't fit into the programme of the building effectively or practically


-subtle elements, need to integrate effectively. interior and exterior need to inform eachother. 


-simulated nature vs "real" nature, can they be just as efective?
