2.3 Island:Archipelago

x.1 Outline/task

x.2 Objectives Plan and carry out the analysis of the site covering relevant aspects as defined at the outset. Previous work and the input sessions form the starting point and topics touch upon there should be investigated and detailed, branching out into related and emerging topics. The classic layers of infrastructure, ecology, demographics, building stock, program and building code should be covered in detail. Additional topics will emerge from those. However analyzing is not a mere observation. The aim is to process the observations to generate learning outcomes. The analysis has to be synthesized to formulate cohesieve findings. To support these findings each has to be paired with a historic precedent from planning history to illustrate the point.

x.3 Learning Outcomes • Understand the various layers of an urban site • Plan and Implement an thorough analysis of an urban site • Synthesize observations to formulate findings • Relate to the wider body of planing history by using precedents to support the findings • Develop individual and specific positions in response to the findings

x.x Deliverables • Analysis of layers ◦ Town map ◦ Figure ground plan [REF Rowe, C. and Koetter, F., 1978. Collage City. ] ◦ Density areas ◦ Water ◦ Green ◦ Streets ◦ Land Use ◦ Topography ◦ Objects ◦ Signs and the language of the street [REF Venturi, R., Scott Brown, D. and Izenour, S., 1972. Learning from Las Vegas. ] • Combination of layer • Islands [REF Ungers, O.M., Koolhaas, R., Riemann, P., Kollhoff, H., Ovaska, A., Hertweck, F., Marot, S. and Ungers Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft, 2013. The City in the City:

Berlin: a Green Archipelago.] ◦ Aerial photo ◦ Plan ◦ Built Structure ◦ Object ◦ Reference ◦ Collage • Diagram linking to the Situations (2.1) • Diagram linking it to the INPUTS (2.2)

x.5 Evaluation The analysis and progress is to be discussed weekly during desk crit and presented at final crit to the panel. The mark is the conbination of overall progress, reflection, presentation and project.
