Ummm…. so I’m not really sure what to say at this point. I’m excited about tapping into the potential of my site and building and figuring out what to do with it. I have some ideas floating around and I’ve started some concept drawings. I think I’m going to make a more clear program diagram than the one in my thesis document that will allude to the program sequence rather than just stating what it is. I think this could potentially evolve into an experiential sequence that could show how a person would experience the building and how a material would experience it and then investigate the moments when their paths cross. I’m also interested to tap into the texture of the site and it’s inherent patterns. I started o do this in the thesis document but I think I’m going to take it a step further and investigate it in more detail to see what I come up with. I’m a little frustrated right now because I feel like I’m being pulled in 6 different directions. It’s not very clear right now what we should be doing. I want to work on diagrams and character sketches which is what I’m going to do until I get yelled at. I think a lot of us are confused because whenever I ask someone around studio what we’re supposed to be doing I pretty much hear I’m not sure but I’m going to work on this. so far it’s: Work on Urban Design, doing a site model, blog, work on interior perspectives, work on concept design sketches, work on exterior sketches, look up resources, build a concept model. I think because we’re all working at different scales we should be tackling the problem in different ways. I prefer to work on one thing at a time not six, that way I can have some form of focus in my life rather than spreading myself very thin and substitution quality for quantity and confusion. I like jumping scales but I think at this point I should focus on either the urban or the building scale or my head may explode. so I’ve resolved to finish up a concept sketch then make a concept section sketch, then do some diagraming rather than building concept models.
