Week-1 Less/simple is better

After taking a few steps back and re-examining the plan and space that I created, I noticed the madness and hectic order of things. Typically those character traits are not dominate in me or my designs.... wanting a more friendly and calm space I went back to the beginning. With a clearer understanding of the transitions, spaces and movement within this program here is what I produce:

Week -1 Sketch-up model

Here are the views from the sketch-up model.

I see the madness...I tend to go out there before I pull myself back in. I will update the plan and post tonight.

Thanks for the comments.

Week-1 - Solutions

After some more investigation of the first sketches, here is a better defined plan with labels. The physical model didn't go so well.... Still, I want to get those pics up before the weekend.

Let me have it....

this image does not seem to be the best, i will check the settings tomorrow and have a better image.

Week-1 - Sketch problem/solutions

This is a good first sketch problem... I would like to see/know what everyone else thought while starting these and if the idea (project type) changed. For me, without knowing the purpose for the parts but knowing what they are and what we trying to achieve while maneuvering around them started a train of thought.... A museum. Below are three quick sketches of the space and series of spaces. Tonight I will upload the sketch-up images.

Solutions:

Problem:

Adding to the model base create a composition of spaces that can be perceived as one object, where there is a clear “inside” and a clear “outside”. Create one main entrance into this object. Your “object trouvé” should mark a special place in your composition or be treated as a sculpture. Indicate the following spaces and transitions in your model(s), making sure that they are the strongest examples you created:

1: Large space with two distinct sub-spaces (zones: 1A and 1B)
2: At least one small space
3: A transitional space that is part of two others.

AT: Abrupt transition
LT: Lead transition
GT: Gradual transition
