Reviewed Plan

After reviewing the first two schemes with my professor, I have come up with a revised plan for the building. Looking back at the drawdle, we realized it has a section where there are rectangles of different sizes laid out.

Thinking this as a section, it has all the spaces I have in the previous schemes. There is an outdoor space and an overhang space. So with my professor's suggestions, I edited the floor plans.

Schemes

First part of the design project is to look at the drawdle and come up with two possible ideas for a building. Since my drawdle focus on the two transitional space, I approach the plans to have two entrances to the building. The challenge of this part is to figure out how the programs are organized.

The Drawdle

After getting feedbacks from classmates and professor, I modified my initial ideas for drawdle. Instead of creating a very diagrammatical drawdle like the circulation drawdle, I decided to build the masses around the transitional space to define it. The drawdle is reversible. When looked at from the back, the masses around the transitional space are cut out and show the depth. The transitional space stands out more. The back can be viewed as a worm's-eye-view.

The section-axonometric drawing helps to understand the space more. The transitional space is cut and drawn a worm's-eye-view axonometric to show what it will be like if you are walking through the tunnel.

Drawdle First Draft

Now that we have experimented making films, we moved to focus on UNAM, the site in Mexico where our project will take place. First we picked a transitional space on campus and analysis what makes that space a transitional space. I chose the space which connects the campus to the stadium. There are two tunnels under the highway. These two tunnels are the transition from education to recreation. After the analysis I came up with these two drawdles.

These two videos are the same as the two I have uploaded in my previous posts. They are shortened to about four minutes and still have the same general themes of the extended version.
