WEEK - 01 EXTRACT
BY USING PALM SIZE BASE LAYER MAP, WE ARE ABLE TO TRACE THE DRAWING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AT A HIGH PACE. IN THIS WAY, WE CAN FULLY ENGAGE OURSELVES WITH THE DESIGN PROPOSAL AND START TO EXPLORE THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT DUE TO THE LIMITED SCALE OF THE DIGRAM WE ARE ALLOWED TO DRAW AT, WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON ONE POINT AT A TIME. THUS CERTAIN LESS RELEVANT INFORMATION HAS TO BE DEEMPHASIZED IN ORDER TO CLARIFY OUR ARGUMENT. YOU ALWAYS NEED TO DEEMPHASIZE CERTAIN THINGS TO EMPHASIZE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT THE VIEWER TO CONCENTRATE ON.

WEEK - 02 HYBRIDIZE
FROM WEEK ONE’S CASE STUDY, 3 SPATIAL UNITS WERE EXTRACTED. THEN WE ARE TEAMED UP WITH ANOTHER STUDENT WITH THE SAME PROJECT TYPE. BY MANIPULATE THE UNITS USING THE METHOD OF COMBINATION, AGGREGATION, SCALE, ROTATION, WE GRADUALLY LEARN HOW SPACE IS CRAFTED AND HOW THEY ARE LINKED TOGETHER. THROUGH COMBINING ALL THESE METHOD, WE ARE AT THE SAME TIME STARTING TO THINK ABOUT THE SPACE ORGANIZATION, SUCH AS BALANCE AND RHYTHM. FURTHER BY INSERTING OUR CHOSEN COMBINED UNITS INTO A DESIRABLE SITE, WE ALSO START TO THINK ABOUT HOW OUR PROPOSAL SITS IN THE CONTEXT.

WEEK - 03 TRANSLATE
TEMPORAL, PHENOMENAL, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE OFTEN DIFFICULT TO RECORD IN ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION. AS SUCH, INVENTIVE NOTATIONAL SYSTEMS AND MODELING TECHNIQUES CAN WORK TO REVEAL COMPLEX AND SUBTLE QUALITIES EMBEDDED IN THE PHYSICALITY OF OUR LANDSCAPE. BY CREATING A NOTATIONAL SYSTEM, WE ARE ABLE TO RECORD OUR FIELD WORK AND OBSERVATIONS FROM SITE VISITS.

WE DEFINE THE SURFACE ROUGHNESS WITH 3 CATEGORY, FIRST ROUGH, SUCH AS DENSE VEGETATION,MEDIUM, LAWN AND BUILDINGS FOR EXAMPLE, AND SMOOTH, SUCH AS ASPHALT AND SIDE WALK. ALSO WE USE THE DENSITY OF THE PATTERN TO INDICATE THE SLOPE OF THE SURFACE. THE STEEPER THE DENSER IT IS. IN THIS WAY WE COULD FIGURE OUT THE SPEED OF THE WATER FLOW ON THESE SURFACES. THE SMOOTHER AND STEEPER THE SURFACE IS THE FASTER THE WATER FLOW SPEED.

WEEK - 04 SITUATE
TOPOGRAPHY COMBINED WITH AMERICAN’S ICONIC RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WAY WHICH IS DEAD END ROAD CREATE A LOT OF DISCONNECTED POINT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE DOWNTOWN AREA. PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION ARE RUDELY CUT OFF. IN HOPING TO INCREASE DENSITY TO THE CURRENT DEVELOPED AREA WHILE CREATE NEW AND CONVENIENT CONNECTION BETWEEN DISCONNECTED POINTS, WE PROPOSED A NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT METHOD.
