I MADE THIS STUDY MODEL BY STUDYING THE FORM SUGAR CAN BE MADE INTO AFTER IT HAS BEEN CARAMELIZED.
THIS IS A SKETCH OF HOW MY BUILDING WOULD LOOK IN ELEVATION. MY INSPIRATION WAS HOW THE SUGAR CANE GROWS.

The sugar swirl is very interesting. It has this pliable property that juxtaposes some building materials which can be fun to interact with. Give you have some time to explore your concept. You might want to finalize if your concept is sugar or sugar cane. If you don’t have a strong core concept, you might find it more challenging to approach your building design. Again, think about what it is about sugar or sugar cane and use 1 or 2 basic element to build your design on.
ReplyDeleteThe study model is exciting and the opportunity is there to illustrate the connection between sugar cane and the building façade. How would you connect the grow, purpose or function of sugar cane and translate that to your building design? Would it be dynamic as the growth pattern, shape and natural attribute of the sugar cane? Perhaps your sketch can be developed more to maximize your potential idea of how sugar or sugar cane is the core of your concept. Check out this building design. I just discover who he is last week through some random search. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdy0kamf-gY

ReplyDeleteIn the next studies you will need to pick a direction of which way you will focus. There is a lot of interesting comments that you should start to look at. I think some sketches are needed for the next study.
ReplyDeleteSome questions to think about.
ReplyDeleteWhat significant or directions does the variation of the models inspire you to go with?
Why make those models if they look similar. Can you combine some and discard the others.
Why do they all have box/square shape as perimeter?
Why box yourself in when sugar is so pliable?
Some times, more model doesn't mean more work. Less is more.
I would like you to look at some of Frank Gehry's work. See how he uses different forms. Try using different shapes other than a square. Allow the project to grow like Sugar leaves. I think you idea is unique.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to develop some building forms, shapes and massing. Schematic is good, however don't lose momentum in designing a great building. Check out Herzog & de Meuron. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2211/2449742273_4ac68e7195.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/ritzphotos/2449742273/&usg=__jKvN2mrd5_pBFTbg0dbXGpIx0Sc=&h=333&w=500&sz=128&hl=en&start=9&um=1&tbnid=HrA6lBiEPxUCtM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbond%2Bstreet%2Bny%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMG_enUS291US303%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1
ReplyDeleteThey play with void, form and shape like a master chef.
By now, you should have scaled drawings with scaled models which should put you well into design development. This stage, you will get a better understanding to test your concept and theory in a real world environment. It also gives you a chance to change, revise or improve on. The sketches are good but they won’t tell you much more than just an idea. I see you are calling structures and spaces out. They would be much better illustrated in a mature form. Ie proportion, human scale relationship (put a person in it), relationship with site, circulation, sun orientation (shadow). Show how you connect your idea to the community. By now, you should attack these questions full force so your model, drawings and design can bring meaning to your viewers, users and fellow classmate.
