Today we discussed with our tutors over how we are going to fuse our ideas on gathering. We got our previous waking and sustenance projects, and ordered them from best to weakest. The big surprise though, was that we were to use the "weakest" for our design, as opposed to the expected best. Our two projects were Ming's for waking up and Nate's for sustenance.
The new task is to come up with three augmented drawings for the crit tomorrow, that show how we have merged the ideas to show gathering. So we discussed what Ming and Nate's designs show, in particular for structure, philosophy and materials.
For Ming's building, it is as follows:
Structure: A square building, one floor plan, rather simple and it was intended to be positioned within an existing building across from the Railway hotel.
Philosophy: The building was intended to shut out all obtrusive noise and light that Ming considered bothersome in the ritual of waking up.
Materials: It is intended to be made out of reinforced concrete and steel.
For Nate's building, it is as follows:
Structure: A strong contrast between simple and the abstract, I focused on the stick-like structures rather than the ephemeral form as my precedent architect, Rafael Moneo kept away from such designs, so this would help with cohesiveness. The cut out patterns on the "nest" like structure are what interested me the most.
Philosophy: A transition from a chaotic mind to a calm mind was Nate's way of showing how his own sustenance is inner peace.
Materials: The chaotic part of the design would be made of steel whilst the ephemeral form would be made of a sort of resin.
I will merge these ideas in structure, philosophy and materials with the previously established ideas I have on my precedent building.
