Rivkah's Intrum 3 Presentation

Hi Ammon,
 
You're in CHINA - stop thinking about class!!
Hope you're having a blast at the wedding!!!??
 
Attached is my intrum 3 presentation...
 
Feedback on areas to move foward are:
 
- To REALLY develop the interior space - and not make it such a 'monolithic experience'
- As we discussed in class to change the circulation path at the undercroft end so it's not triangular but instead 'squared off' - thus also giving a circulation heiracy to flinders/swanston street.
- I personally want to develop the materiality/haptic interactions/spacial interactions of the 'journey'
- and get into further sturtural detailing.
 
PS - the crit was good - there was general feedback that it was refreshing having 2 CRITS - and thus more detailed, critical and constructive feedback! Tim was a superstar yesterday - it was another LONG sesh! The man's got it under control - so ENJOY YOUR BREAK!
 
Xx

Hi R I can't see your PDF via posterous but am keen to impress on you a need to take on the question of monolithic space seriously. A large 'flexible' space might even be very valuable for the cathedral, but all of these sorts of facilities have very real support spaces attached and carefully designed infrastructures that makes them work. You get what I'm on about? Consider looking at a real school, library or convention/exhibition centre. Last I saw it, your project was simply an interesting starting diagram with a facade. Bring the reality in, we are all about a high level of resolution. You should think about real situations, maybe start with listing them and respond by designing A

I agree with what your saying. Yet, I thought we discussed at mid sem that my building plan was a 'DIAGRAM' - but that's what i liked about it!!! I DO LIKE THE FORM!!!???

Hence, I'm going to keep pushing with it - but REALLY design the interior spaces - as your saying - with purpose.

I hope this is what you mean?

Sorry, i think you definitely need to move away from thinking in diagrams until you develop the mess and reality so you can finally rework and return to a more complex and synthetic spatial diagram at the very end. This is the iterative process I think you really need. - Let the design change so it can change back again with wisdom and layers. Let go a bit. Purpose? Yes; but only by thinking through complex reality. Cheers! A
