11/05/09 actualizing diagrams to real space

Through having pin-up I was able to see several distinctive approaches of design suggested by each group. While Laura and I were dealing a lot with setting concepts and making diagrams, some other teams were making actual interior space, or analyzing site condition more deeply. I guess open-ended condition of our project we had at the beginning enabled all of us to search for different ways to think about.

Other than having nicer layout- making printouts bigger to easy to recognize, utilizing both printed and ppt slide at the same time- I think until Tuesday we were still up on the air, not having certified space arrangements yet.





The pie chart and detailed grouping of given programs eventually enabled us to realize how much space are actually going to be "fluid". Realizing that there are many fixed space (i.e. office, storage, workroom), we tried to maximize area for both "circulation-program" and "fluid".

Classroom, in fact, has lots of potential to be overlapped with other space, by clarifying activities going on inside. If it's a room for cooking class, it might easily be mingled with dining hall area.

We are now searching examples for these fluid space, and at the same time constructing rhino model with these three categorized space - fixed, fluid, circulation+program.

Tate Modern Gallery in London has big void space without a certain program. Instead, people pass through to get to other room, sit down and talk, listen to lecture. This is a good example of space which has circulation and fluid program simultaneously.
