Experiment Three: The Plan

TO UPLOAD: 

Hand drawn ideas of layout - Try to overlay plan on model

The Mission: choose a plan from the lecture on Thursday the 21st of May and use it to develop your work. You should use it as a basis for a section through the building/school.

I chose the above plan as a basis for my own section because it introduced some interesting ideas for me: The idea of a private space imposing upon a public one, intersecting it and interrupting it; the combination of linear and nonlinear form which creates a cohesive space; and the use of irregular shapes. These three ideas, in my opinion, add to my concept of destruction and fragmentation as a means to create public/private spaces that are versatile.

[My Musings]

Below are the original hand drawn ideas that I have come up with in regards to the layout of my building. I have decided that separating the building into five parts would be the most logical and useful way to configure the layout.

As you can see, I built upon the idea of 'destruction' in order to come up with some ideas for the aesthetics of the building. Now, it seems, my focus has changed from five elements - flood, fire, avalanche, drought, and storm - to one: crumble. 

The moving elements in my design have therefore changed.
