RICHARD MEIER , WEISHAUPT FORUM EXAMPLE (CLARK & PAULS) WRITE - UP

CLARK AND PAULS METHOD: METHOD OF SPACIAL USE AND A DIAGRAMATIC REPRESENTATION OF THE USES OF SPACE IS A VERY DIRECT AND THOUGHT PROVOKING WAY OF ANALYSING THE USE, LAYOUT AND HIDDEN LAYERS OF THOUGHT THAT IS UNDER THE MATERIALS AND PLANS. EXAMPLE WORK ANALYSIS: FROM THE WORK DEMONSTRATED BY CLARK AND PAUL OF RICHARD MEIER'S WEISHAUPT FORUM IT HAS GIVEN ME INSIGHT INTO THE MORE DIAGRAMATIC SIDE OF DESIGN AND REPRESENTATION. MY VIEW OF METHOD & EXAMPLE: WITH THE RESERCH INTO THE WORK AND EXAMPLES FOUND TO GET A COMPARABLE BUILDING TO MEET THE BRIEF. I HAVE SEEN THE DIAGRAMS AND REPRESENTATION OF SIMPLE YET WELL THOUGHT DESIGN TAKEN AND LAYERED WITH DETAIL WHICH IS A LESSON I WILL USE IN THE FUTURE FOR A WORKFLOW OR PRESENTATION METHOD.

3D IMAGERY TO PLAN ANALYSIS: WHILE UNDERSTANDING THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING BEING REPRESENTED I FOUND THERE WAS A MORE NECESSARY VISUAL OF A 3D ASPECT WHICH COULD ADD MORE DEPTH THAN A SIMPLE ELEVATION AND SECTION. THINKING IN THIS DIMENSION DID HELP ME FIND MORE DEPTH IN THE DESIGN BUT THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT COULD BE AN ADDITION TO THE METHOD.

LE CORBUSIER VILLA LA ROCHE PERSONAL ATTEMPT WRITE - UP

CLARK AND PAULS METHOD USING THE PREVIOUS EXAMPLES OF THE REPRESENTATIONAL TECHNIQUES OF THE CLARK AND PAULS METHOD USED, PLANNING AND MAPPING THE INDIVIDUAL DIAGRAMS WITH THE VILLA LA ROCHE WAS MORE SIMPLE BUT ALSO RESPONSIVE IN THE SELF ANALYSIS.

MY VIEW OF REPRESENTATION: CHOOSING THE EXAMPLE OF THE VILLA LA ROCHE BY LE CORBUSIER DID GIVE ME A STEEPER LEARNING CURVE INTO THE PROJECT AS I HAVE NOT STUDIED HIS WORK IN DETAIL BEFORE. THE PROCESS OF ONCE UNDERSTANDING THE SPACE WITHIN THE DESIGN AND THE BUILDING ITSELF AND THEN BREAKING IT DOWN TO COMPONENTS OR JUST SIMPLIFYING ITS FORMS DID MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MY UNDERSTANDING ALONG THE WAY IF NOT SOME TIME IN. AFTER RESEARCHING SOME JARGON TERMS WITH A ONCE OVER OF THE BRIEF IT WAS MORE APPARENT WHICH SHAPES AND FORMS MEANT TO EACH DIAGRAM.

3D IMAGERY TO PLAN ANALYSIS: AS USED BEFOR THE GUIDE OF A 3 DIMENSIONAL GRAPHIC DOES HELP THE MENTAL MAP OF A BUILDING TO MORE LATERAL THINKERS OF YOUNGER DESIGNERS WHO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH IT.

DIAGRAM COMPARISONS MOST INFORMATIVE D DIAGRAMS:

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THEM:

THE COMPARISON BELOW OF SOME OF THE MOST DOMINANT DIAGRAMS TO BE DONE BETWEEN THE ADAPTATION OF THE METHOD AND ONE EXAMPLE OF IT.

THE FORM AND SHAPE OF BOTH DESIGNS TO HAVE SIMILARITIES AS THEY BOTH HAVE A SINGLE ELIPTICAL COMPONENT WHICH ADDS TO THE ASTHETIC OF THE BUILDING.
