Kenmore Square: across from Charles river and adjacent to MIT - similar to Times Square in it's angular geometries.
Investing new ways of drawings: the spaces between
Who is important? The public's experience through the change in arrangement of space due to position of viewer and time.
The figure ground plans: explored relationships between objects and spaces. Students started with black canvasses and then carved out the space. They found it difficult to relate the drawings to architectural concepts and resorted to the traditional plan.
The Plan: faults are Newtonian - constant speed, steady direction; formulas don't account for unexpected.
Sectional Drawings: an abstraction of viewer's perception of space.
The Students Project and goals of drwaings:
* Design an "information marketplace"
* the drawings were to help in the realization of what spacial relationships and experiences a new building on the site would be produced; with the goals of a permanent building and enhancing existing paths to the site.
Don't be the architect would pursues of "formal explorations and the pursuit of new 'isms.'"
GOAL of graphic explorations: to improve the design process and enrich pubic experience
TO EXPLORE: methods of modeling space to better represent and understand a person's experience of space/time.
I like the photo-overlay and I especially like the fact that you responded to the reading.
