Midterm Analysis_10/23/2007

I have recieved great feed-back regarding my project. The next steps to be taken on my project will be to find a way to allow my modular site to become more structural and programmatic. First i will adapt the parameters of my srcipt to allow a more sinous trangression of mdule scale. For the midterm my scale was extremely dramatic and unrealistic. In addditon , I will further analyze my module and find ways to simplify further. Morover, I want to begin to construct my kindergarten. I have allready formulated a foundation, now it is time to strenghten that logic and begin adding classroom, offices, theater, gymnasium, etc. My idea is to use a script wihin my building zone, which has been predetermined, to locate where these spaces may exist.

Lastly, the jurors brought up a great topic to think about, which is protection and security of children. Can there be a way to allow public access on the site with them interripting the flow of the kindergarten? Are children able to be safe while accessing the waterfront?

I will start to explore the theory of control and freedom. This will allow me to start to determine where there can be public access, were my entrances are located.

Blogger has been encountering problems everytime I go to publish an image. For now I will supply a text description and try later with posting images of layouts and model photos.

My deliverables for the midterm included previous autopsy drawings, kindergarten precedant studies, script diagrams, classroom cluster layout and sections, and my building format with elevations, plans and sections. Mike and I have generated a script that will scale our model on the z axis according to the distance to attractor curves. In my project, as the module is farther away from the attractor, curves that map public circulation on the site, it will grow to create space. This allows for me to analyze my module with potential classroom space.
