Rick,
I really like your design. Especially your strong entry element. It is made distinct by the placement of almost "landscape quality" elements.
Rick:
I think you have brought this problem to a new dimension. The shanding is wonderful! I mean it is so snap! having all the different derivaitons. It gives texture to the solution.
Rick, beautiful presentation, elaborate design. I like it so much, it is hard to concentrate on the assignmnet substance. You offer a few challenges; how can zone 1A and 1B be part of the same space when you lay your transition space and the GT in between? How become a series of lateral spaces with abrupt transitions a LT?
Have you used the "walk" tool in sketch-up to make sure you are notcomposing for the birds eye view?
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Werner...
The strong angled walls that form zone 1 tie both 1A and 1B together. The transition space is a result of the larger zone 1 geometry intersecting with the smaller zone 2 geometry. The GT and resulting transition space allow you to occupy both zones 1 and 2 simultaneously which is anchored by the OT. Perhaps removing the 3 columns behind the OT would make some sense? They seem to reinforce the seperation.
The series of AT creates a LT through repetition and a slight narrowing of each AT. These AT's create a narrowing corridor of space that leads you inside to the more formal AT the enters into zone 1.
In regards to the walk through tool, yes I did use it when working throught the solution. It's actually the best way to show the LT of the entry. I'll post some study images of that and the larger zone 1 (1A+1B) later this evening. I also cannot deny that there was some object creation going on, but always with the intension of creating spaces within.
Rick...I will be excited to see some of your revisions....I echo the previous statements.... beautiful presentation and exciting layout!!
Rick, nice try. I buy the explanation of 1 and 2 intersecting and creating a transition space; a third zone within space 1. I don’t see a problem with the columns near OT. For me the series of walls near GT are creating too strong a separation between 1A and the rest, I cannot perceive the entire space 1 as a whole. The required GT should happen between spaces, not zones of spaces.
The series of parallel walls near the entry are certainly leading you into the object., but it is achieved with a series of AT’s , not a leading transition.
Are the series of double walls (creating odd left-over spaces) necessary to experience your main composition, or are they more added for effect?
Thanks for additional comments Werner. Revisions coming tomorrow (Friday). Hopefully setting it in concrete!
