Current Status on the most current project.
So for this current(as of this date) project, we are to make a Drawdel(a three dimensional drawing) and a drawing of one element of the transitional space that we chose. Mine focuses on the portion that examines the transition between the more chaotic cityscape and the more controlled university space. However, I'm at a bit of a standstill at the moment. Im trying to figure out what else I could do besides using black as an element to distinguish the building spaces and using bristol board to frame the transition space. The Xs in the drawing are the black spaces, the Gs are the Green spaces, the Hs are the streets and the Ls are where the extrusions for the transition space go. As of right now, I'm set on the idea, but I figured that I'd let it ruminate a bit before making a decision tomorrow.

mike,
ReplyDeletethis is what i understand of the drawings you posted: the "black" would signify the masses/massing of the buildings. the question that arises in my mind is whether through just a simple notation (ie. the black) you would be able to identify the subtle differences between heights and character of the building and how those affect/effect/define the reading of the transition space. in addition, (and perhaps this is a misreading of your drawing), you appear to designate the street in between the city and the university in black and that would seem to negate the fact that IT is part of the transition space.
more important, would be to find a way (through some articulation of the page) to map what exactly the transition space (in between the buildings) is through the manipulation of the page. for instance, you could treat the paper within that transition zone as some type of physical topography and, perhaps, leave/articulate the "buildings"/"masses" through either not doing anything (ie. like a figure/ground - where the figure is the silhouette of the plan - and the ground is that topographical/3d articulation) or actually cutting out the "buildings"/"masses" themselves and the ground is that topographical/3d articulation that defines something (ie. through the sectional qualities of the paper) those "masses." at this point, i'm not sure that the addition of the black color does much for you and, i think, it actually reduces its complexity to a binary of black/white.
woa...! you haven't posted in a while...!
