Final Intensive Review Comments:

Having hard time understanding plan.

What is your topic? Clarify

Explore degree of building intervention
  • 2 circles?
  • wrapper?
  • oval?
  • How they are treated through facade?

Wonderfully "machine like".

Lots of stripes - does that reveal duel logic of structure?

Show street context in plans.

Changeability of the space.

Like urban gesture within site: unequal void spaces.

Do more with dimension of wrapper.

Infill with ramp.

Balcony use?

New base of Pru Center.

Two ramps - the nature of the ramps as bridges.

Entry terminate in between spaces?

Multiple connections.

Access to roof.

Enter off spine.

Model was a good tool for understanding.

What is happening street side?

Push the entrance.

Geometry and scale works.

How does it integrate in the back?

Drawings hard to understand.

Playfull:

Pompidou Center
Sometimes we like to let our guard down, be less formal and expressive of our inner most workings. We rebel against those structured things we are taught.








Hotel Sale
Musee National Picasso
We are sometimes formal in our presentation to the public with our inter works well out of sight.









Badlands
We are playful and energetic, like to explore new and exciting places and things. Experience the colors, shapes, textures and the way the seasons and the elements interact and help refine an shape with time.

The whimsical has always fascinated us. We are draw to those things we may not understand but want to explore an see what things we might discover and learn about yourself. Good or bad they keep us involved to improve our understanding of how things work in the built environment.
