You can’t make an architect. But you can... open the doors and windows toward the light as you see it. -Frank Lloyd Wright
STUDIO DESIGN
ANALYSIS & TRANSFORMATION OF BUILDINGS
STUDIO EXERCISE I:
Aim:
To understand the fundamental relatioships in buildings. Select an architectural plan
Design:
Photocopy the plan on 80# card stock and make a 3D “thing” (without the use of glue).
Analysis: With the use of the principles from “Form, Space and Order” as well as “Precedents” book, graphically analyze the plan. Diagram them on a 4”x4” final:
Make another thing with respect to the original design concept, reinforcing its’ unity rather than destroying it.

THING ONE
THING TWO
SPACE: OPEN & CLOSED
STUDIO EXERCISE II:
Aim:
Introduction to the degrees of enclosure of architectural space.
Design:
[3D Modeling] Use of the “kit of parts” - 4 rods, 4 cubes, 4 plates and the 8”x8” gridded base to creat one group of open and closed space. [2D] Create a plan relating to the 3D Model.
Analysis: Draw 4”x4” parti of the spaces on vellum.
SPACE: SERIAL SPACES
STUDIO EXERCISE III:
Aim:
Generate a system of spaces from a space(s).
Design:
[2D Modeling] Create schemes of organiza tional spaces: -centralized/introverted -radial/extroverted Create a separate linear, cluster and grid organization of spaces by mirroring. Each scheme should imply spatial path with a 4�x4� non-architectural visual analogy illustrating each organizational scheme. [3d] Illustrate the spaces in the 3D plan using 4 rods, 4 cubes, 4 plates
GRID
LINEAR
CLUSTER
SPACE FROM PLAN TO SECTION
STUDIO EXERCISE IV:
Aim:
Continuation of the study and creation of space by exploring the spatial relationships between plan and section.
Design:
[2D Modeling] Diagram 1:1 scale on various trace paper with three different line weights. 1. HEIRARCHY OF SPACES making the plan 2. HEIRARCHY OF COLUMN SYSTEMS AND WALL SYSTEMS defining the path. [3D] Using the kit of parts build on 2 spac es to explore the arrangement on the path in a way that clarifies, reinforces and strengthen its’ unity.
ENTRY MAKING
STUDIO EXERCISE V:
Aim:
Design the main entry of the path.
Design:
Build four versions of an entry on Google SketchUp. [2D Modeling] Construct one preferred entry and continue to build up on the existing model.
ENTRIES
TOWER MAKING
STUDIO EXERCISE VI:
Aim:
Design and make a tower that grows out the repetitive structural path system, exploring form, scale and proportion.
Design:
[3D Model] Select a place for the path where a tower is best represented and build it using the customized kit of parts. The design may have unique pieces but should not move away from the geometric harmony with the original pieces.
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. -Frank Gehry
