My architecture is not conceived in plans, but in spaces (cubes). I do not design floor plans, facades, sections. I design spaces. For me, there is no ground floor, first floor etc... For me, there are only contiguous continual spaces… Adolf Loos, conversation in Pilsen, 1930

Project 1: FORM/SPACE

Task A. Analyze the spaces in Allwine Hall in such a way that you comprehend the building in its entirety, Then Produce a series of orthographic drawings (plans and sections) that communicate your comprehension of the building. This will be done by walking the building and free hand sketching the major spaces… produce these plans on 8-1/2” x 11” graph paper. Work from general to specific th

Due at end of class on Wed. Aug. 27 . Task B. Using pencil on vellum hand draft an axonometric view showing the entire building. show regulating/construction/structural lines and spaces. rd

Due at the beginning of class on Wed. Sept. 3 . Task C. Construct a scale structural model (using 1/8” and 1/6” basswood sticks) .Using pencil on vellum hand draft an axonometric view showing the entire building. show regulating/construction/structural lines and spaces. th

Due Wed. Sept. 10 . Task D. Intervene within your structural model by constructing two spatial paths out of chipboard. The spatial paths shall exhibit opposing qualities from the following terms: Fast/Slow, Tension/Compression, Movement/Stasis, Contain/Release, Expansion/Contraction. The resulting intersection shall create an interstitial or tertiary space the shares qualities of both. The overall composition will develop as a primary, secondary, and tertiary spatial hierarchy and must coalesce into a single composition. Relevant terms: form, space, gesture, threshold, assembly, representation, additive, intervene, iterative process, respond, reveal, arrange, edge, field, portal, path, movement, density. th
