Mid-Term Review – Monday April 14, 2008
Mid-Term Review – Monday April 14, 2008 - 6pm sharp (pinned up and ready to go)
Drawings All drawings to be ink on mylar or CAD color plots.
All sheets to be 24”x36” or as required to fit axons and diagrams. All showing thicknesses of material both new and existing.
Plans (4 minimum) Show sidewalk and context.
One at each level
Sections (3 minimum) Show existing building in section (the existing floors and walls).
2 Transverse
1 Longitudinal
Elevations
One of Existing elevation
One of New components only
One of Elevation Complete (new and existing) with min. 3 line weights.
Axonometric
One complete (remove the side party walls, but front elevation must remain part of drawing)
One of program areas only – in color
One of structure only
Exploded axon showing the component parts (existing façade, program, circulation and structure
Diagrams
All diagrams at Half-Size and in color.
One axonometric sequence diagram to show flow of spaces, set of outline plans that shows space and structure, and one set of outline plans that show primary programming structure.
Models
Competed study model with all program, circulation and structure
Create the existing building container for your model so your model can be exposed and so that the neighboring buildings can fit together properly. Use different materials as appropriate or use those outlined below.
Bring you other study models
Photographs
Final Study model complete
Previous study models.
Thesis
Edited thesis board
Notes on the Final Model. All projects will use the SAME materials as follows:
Existing White Museum Board for all existing materials
New Concrete Grey painted basswood
Wood Stained basswood or other wood
Metal Unpainted basswood (include new windows)
Masonry Crème color museum board
Glass Three types:
Clear, Translucent and Opaque Plexiglas
Canvas or Mesh use black fiberglass window screen
Interior walls should use the same materials as above or use strategically painted wood.

Portfolio Tutorial 3/27
The AIAS are delivering a portfolio tutorial tomorrow, Thursday 3/27, at 12:30. All students are invited.
New Readings
I added some readings from what we discussed in class.
This Goodly frame the Earth - Alexander Purves (About Aalto and nature)
Frank Lloyd Wright - Organic Architecture
Le Corbusier - 5 Points

RE: Program and your "Thesis"
First is the program of the museum (What is the title of your museum?).
Next is how the museum makes the experience (How do we move from space to space? What shapes the spaces? How big are they?).
Last is how the museum responds to the other museums and its context (What is the relationship of your building to your neighbor and how is it influenced by its context and program?).
The experience could be how you move through the program or vise versa. This will be the focus of the project for the next few weeks. It's hard to construct a direct response architecturally to words you write regarding your thesis, but you should be able to express ideas through use of light, material, movement, scale, etc. Make a diagram with sketches that juxtapose your program idea with how you might see the space that holds it. Use the ideas, tools and techniques that we have seen and learned in class for the last three projects. All of those ideas should help lead you into making this one.
I will answer e-mail questions as best I can, but it might help all of you if you use the blog to ask each other questions and I will try to comment whenever I can. It's a work in progress - don't be shy to post your ideas.

Thesis Builder & Online Outliner
This might help if you get stuck writing (or loose focus), but remember for architects, visual images, drawings and models are always more convincing than words.
