Studio Task Wednesday 02 June 2010

Dear Students

My email note to you noted that this week, I need you all to have

Floor plans and sections (including the outdoor courtyard). 1: 100
A working model 1: 200 or 1:100
2 Interior perspective vignettes showing the main sequence of spaces

These components should be as complete as possible as I will be unable to provide constructive feedback if substantial work is not produced. So please work hard this week and try to catch up.

Further to my email below, please note that the work on Wednesday should ideally demonstrate

the definition of architectonic elements - components
the siting of the building as a conscious act
developed dialogue between plans and sections
attention to light quality and experience
an attention to controlled light as opposed to unmediated light (through glass for instance) thereby also informing choice of material
attention to light conditions as they impact display, viewing and contemplation of art

Please pay attention to most or all of these ideas.
