Concept Development - Hybrid Model
Concept Development - Hybrid Model
Combining the original nine models and taking just three to make a hybrid model.
After taking the nine models, three each based on a collage; I've decided that through those nine I chose the following three for a reason. Let me explain.
Site Impression:
I chose the second one out of the three due to the reason that I wanted to represent the rigidness of the three different points of site. From landscape to building, and past to new. I felt that the second one could potentially help with creating something organic but still maintaining the rigidness of a potential structure.
Strand:
The first concept model out of the three was best fitting because it represents trying to enclose something important but in order to unravel that information one must go through one of the ends to reach the next and find yourself better than you were at point B from point A.
Program:
Program was represented by information being kept inside and then spewing out in different directions or at a set direction. Similar to the Strand collage, this model starts at a set point and spews out in different directions and stays in the organic shape that can be developed with a rigid concept from my first collage.
Hybrid Model:
From the three chosen models, I came up with a hybrid that can represent all three in one. Through its rigidness transforming into an organic shape and vice versa. The enclosed shape to then spewing out into a vast amount of information is the interpretation I've decided with this hybrid concept.
Hi Andres,
ReplyDeleteBe careful when using the word organic. I am not quite sure whether it is productive to use it in order to merely describe a shape. I think that there are creative opportunities while planning your program within your envelope for organic "growth" based on different users' needs in different time periods. You might have programmatic components that are dominant during weekdays ( such as culinary school's educational component) and others that are activating the space during weekends and after hours (such as restaurant and events).
Work right away both in plan and SECTION to understand the possibilities of the current envelope of your hybrid model that I would say is based on the ribbon as design operation. Start thinking of weaving as a possible action to think of circulation patterns.
PS. For some reason I didn't receive a notification when you uploaded these. Check this out.
FWIW ,I also have not received any notifications up until the last posting in October...since mid September.
ReplyDeleteI tend to look at these postings for visual content before i embark upon reading the accompanying thoughts. Conceptually an idea should speak for itself without the need for verbiage to communicate the intention. The words, if furthering a thought are good, if defining the thought, are sometimes dangerous. For the most part I look at the visual first, then go back through to the description to verify that my "read" matches our thoughts.
Here, the description far exceeds the delivery of the model. Agreed, adjectives are important in that they have meaning beyond colloquial. Organic is a prime example. Also, you lose some of the captivating tectonic reading form the former models. There is no shift in density or hierarchy across the site to demonstrate a fanning out or a transformation. The materiality shift from mesh to paper is too abrupt for this effort. Look at what you can create formally from the thoughts you express in the written description.
