diagraming potential theatre views



Took a quick stab at diagramming the views for "potential urban theater". This will be a key part to the project presentation. I have decided not to include these diagrams in a separate drawing, but on all of the sections (building and site). The diagram isn't as strong on the plans.

3-d model and perspectives




Working on the 3-d model (these are in progress). Roofs are quite difficult in sketch up! Looking at the columns that support the roof, they may want to get more slender. The roof really isn't flat at the top, it would slope down, just have to model it better. Looking at the roof, it may want more sculptural qualities to it.

roof as the sculptural element



Above pictured are several examples by Le Corbusier that exemplify using the roof as a sculptural element. Top pictured is the Heidi Weber Muesum (Pavillion) in Zurich and the Bottom is the Notre Dame de haut in Ronchamp. The roof in my project will be a stand alone element. The fascade will then seem to float and be visually unconneted to the roof. Some study sketches to follow shortly.

flooor plans



First and Second floor plans revisited with context of site. I will have to upload the sections tomorrow, it took me two hours commute to get home because of the weather.

If it wasn't for bad luck............

OK So I will not be posting my plan and section boards tonight as previously planned. Apparently I didn't save my ACAD files down when working on them this week at work (I run 2008 at the office and 2002 at home). So I have no way of extracting the drawings from the files to format onto the boards. I will have to post on Monday.

Site Analysis and Concept Statement Revisited

Perspectival Sketch and Roof Plan Sketch


Roof Plan Sketch and Perspectival sketch. Really trying to show/figure out the roof overhang. More to follow in the next day or so (ie building section).
