this is what we spoke of- making the south walkway part of the space and in line infront of the core.

also look at the way the main truss us drawn here: with lateral members bracing between the long span members

Potential Diagrams?

I did these diagrams a while back... I was wondering if this is what you were looking for as far as program diagrams in the axon form? Just wondering. This is old as we have discussed a new scheme already for my final...

I would like to focus on elevations and corresponding detail sections next class.

I will comment on the new posts and other things later tonight.

Structural Progression

Transparencies

This is how I attempted to show program volumetrics and circulation/ egress is shown on the second one in yellow

These are some diagrams of plans and sections with axons of the southwest and southeast of the site. The two core are centered in the middle next to the locker rooms in order for the handicapped people to gain access to the floatting saunas and the top floor where the community room and the offices are found.

All- read through the general / eric posts

 and provide diagrams
-axons of
A. Space, Space of base,
B. Movement- drawn as transparent throuogh diagram
A, C. Event,
D. structure,
E. Elevation outlines or figures- with contiuous elevations sides...
for tuesday.

General/ Eric -end

This section is thorugh the inserted volumn (" the project") and inorder for it to match the right elevation figure diagram with yellow tone: the roof space of the spa will be within the volumn or shell of the inserted volumn.

general/ Eric 3

The yellow zone is pointing out the way the volumes can be assembled

to make the diagram read that one will feel and see the semi priviate volumn inserting itself  amoungest the dynamic of the pool and entry space along with the private space (3 zones); this means the glass of the pool should be studied intersecting th community volumn etc. The way the north elevation is made can also complete the idea of the diagram... the light will now come in back and the spas will have additional views...etc.

general/ Eric 2

south elevation (or issue):

the last post will be the main section which is cut through the inserted volumn; please draw and study this section. i think the right south elevation which matches the volumetric sketch on the next post is correct for the project becasue it is representative of the dynamic assembly of the space, movement, event; here the spa space can still be outdoor or roof space.

If you recall from friday- Katies project with her figure ground elevation- well this sketch with the yellow is like that- it is the concept sketch of the elevation which should be followed through by a contunous elevation joined by the rest of the elevations! This applies to everyone. We need to see these diagrams to conclude the details of the project. Again,  the diagrams are:

axons of A. Space, Space of base, B. Movement- drawn as transparent throuogh diagram A, C. Event,

D. structure, E. Elevation- with contiuous sides...for tuesday.

All
Eric sent me his boards and the following is my responce to those boards.
At the same time, it includes my general reaction to all of your projects meaning:
At the end of Friday's class we said we would go back to the "idea/ concept"
-the diagram: a layering of :
A. space- volumetrics B. movement- organization of program,
C. event- the resultant of the space and the movement which  includes the way the structure and skin are made; I want to see these 3 axon diagrams Tuesday along with your development of the skin and structure in the section.
Also,  A. space diagram has two parts: whole and the base, here I am asking to make the base with walls for a idea of a community plaza; the walls are also assisting in the site issues of sound and traffic.

Development of a project sometimes moves program around to ask what is the best way to make the space, movement, event clear to the site.

Blaas Project

South Facade Elevation

I've been playing around with different materials and how to represent the solid center core which supports the trusses on both sides. I was doing some research and I came across a projec that I found quite interesting. It's called Blaas by monovolume architecture and design. I want my building to be concrete and have curtain glass walls. This project is a good example of how both materials were combined to create a great facade. In some ways, it could be similar to my project in that the concrete/glass was used for structural purposes as well as for aesthetics. The poolside is a combination of concrete panels and glass with concrete horizontal louviers to reduce sun. In addition, I reorganized the columns so they are not angled (which drew attention to and would need much further investigation and research to see if it was really necessary.) The other side I played around with the amount of louviers used the spacing on them. I wanted to have maximized views to the outside but at the same time reduce sunlight and create some privacy on the fourth floor where the community area would be, so I reduced the spacing on the louviers to create that privacy but still have semi open for views. I would like ur opinion of this facade. The only concern I now have is if it's too much glass and would be at risk of major heat loss.

Spring St Elevations

Here is a first go at the elevations. I left my facade as a massing until I have it fully figured out. However, it is interesting to see how the scheme works with the rest of the street.

Facade Workshop

For Friday Pin-up/Workshop

Will we have the same board layout with revised work or something esle. Also is there anything that needs to be complete besides what was on the list you posted?

Board Layout

The blogger uploader is a joke, had to upload them to photobucket.

Detail, Tuesday

Some of you asked for assistance in finding detail information on panel wall systems for facade: which included precast, translucent concrete, concrete panels etc.

Ideally, you can start with graphic standards by going to stone panel systems on steel frames and you will see the various dowel/ angle connections from the panel to the steel frame. If you have translucent concrete you may want to use a custom steel frame and clip system so they are not visible in any way. Detail magazine is best for this and the link below shows you are able to search the magazine via construction types for this is the way the magazine is issued.

http://www.detail.de/rw_6_Kaufen_En2_Hefte_HoleBuchThema_Concrete%20Construction_SearchResult.htm

You can also go to the manufacturer’s information for example for translucent concrete see the site below, under technical downloads. You can also call them for sample shop drawings.

 http://www.litracon.hu/index.php

In graphic standards- for curtain walls, look up structural fin or stiffener at window wall and you will see the frames which I have been speaking to most of you about regarding what is needed to support the curtain wall from lateral wind loads.

A large part of this semester is research and applying the concepts you research or hear from myself and the experts. More of this needs to happen from all you.

I have completed speaking to all of you about the elements of the scheme in terms of the organization lines of the plan and circulation. If these lines are right then they become the structure and enclosure lines so everyone should be in a good place.

In order for you to demonstrate to me you have an understanding of your projects the drawings should be graphically clear (poche) and material and joints lines  (a grid) should be indicated on the floor plans, elevations, and sections with the elevation beyond.

A lot of you do not have elevations beyond drawn in your sections but I expect these will be complete Tuesday.

Again, Detail magazine is the best resource then graphic standard because it gives you a range of custom design options. But for big picture standards getting to know what graphic standards also in the way of passive and active sections is important...

Review Requirements for Tuesday

10 Things

Section of building

This is a section of the building I've been working on. I want to detail more of the structure and how its put together but I'm not too sure what to do. We can discuss it in class tomorrow. Everyone seems to work out in plan and the section is coming together smoothly. I'm trying to focus on elevations now and see how the structural columns work with the glass curtain walls.

Project Evolution

The following diagrams are a representation from start to now of my concept and evolution of such. Recently, I have explored option 7 and tried to figure out a method of keeping the circulation in a straight line but have found the circulation, working in a circular motion to be more giving and able to do.

For the section / elevation diagrams, the project will start to capture the ideas of sustainability through the use of louvers or use of the floor to guard against solar gain. Each execution will not only be sustainable, but will make each "zone" or "area" more capable to see (Office spaces, administrative, community space, sports shop, etc.)

Sustainable Design - From Start to Finish

The Following boards show the progresssion and execusion of my concept. I have started with the idea of "Zones" to differentiate between the program being wet vs dry allowing passive systems to be used. The meeting and combination of these two zones then slowly are formed together through the use of ramps and general circulation.

south facade shading idea

I was thinking of angling in the south walls for shading. Also, I extended the roof over the back side of the horseshoe to provide shading. This is for May 21st at 2pm.
