11: Exhibition pitch.
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 2 days ago.
STOP PRESS: We’re not going to talk to anyone who doesnt port their work on the blog. So far that means that only Manish is due a tutorial!
You are now on the run-up to the interim crit, as which point we want to see a complete project proposal under way. Of course, the work will be uneven — some will be more finished and developed and some will still be in outline form — but we will expect to see plans, sections, models, interior views, axonometrics showing form, materials, circulation, spaces, construction — and exhibits. In fact, the whole ‘concept’ and the way in which the b...
Project 2.3: models, drawings, pictures
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 7 days ago.
For next Monday there are three tasks:
1) Finish your models. Make sure they are beautiful and complete and that they describe the fragments you are imagining as part of a building – with a structure and materials –a museum – with exhibits and a strong idea about how those exhibits are displayed as part of — on that particular site.
Would the viewer know that these were part of a museum of the DDR in Berlin? If not, you have not finished your models!
2) Finish your drawings and refine how they are laid out. Simple, direct skecthes is generally the best way to approac...
Semester 2, project two: One hundred parts of your museum.
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 16 days ago.
Everyone needs to complete, and continur to develop your models. Work outwards from the pieces you have made. How are they made, how do they work structurally, how do they join together. If you have made a wall, think of the structure the openings, the signs, the spaces, the structure which interact with it. Almost no one has shown the exhibits in the building. From now on we will not look at work which doesn’t show your museum’s exhibits as an integrat part of your design.
This week:
This week we are asking you to do 100 drawings of your museum. You have a huge range of...
Semester two project one: More models
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 22 days ago.
For next Monday, you should make (at least)three models of parts of your project.
* One should be at the scale of the whole building and be shown on site. (however roughly)
* One should be at the scale of an exhibit and/or structural element; ie it should explore how one exhibit relates to the space in which it is shown
* One should be a component — eg a bit of tiling, wall, structure etc.
These models should be the same sort of thing as the better examples of earlier models. The should follow up on techniques and ideas of earlier stages of work: the patterns, th...
Programme/ next semester
Post by Studio 15 originally posted about 1 month ago.
Your sketch design as shown in your portfolio should by now be fairly well advanced. You should be able to incorporate aspects of all of the work you have done so far and develop AT LEAST an outline plan and section, parts of elevation/ views; circulation strategy; display strategy. This is NOT a different stage of work, it is the ongoing development of work you have been doing all year; from your 100 objects, your 100 museums, your reflection machines, your building fragments, your models, your site studies, your site strategies, your ideas on how to display materials. EVERYONE has r...
Portfolios
Post by Studio 15 originally posted about 1 month ago.
At the same time as working to develop your projects, you should all be thinking about how to put your work together in the portfolio, and from next Monday on we want to see your work in portfolio form.
Start thinking about how you put your work together in such a way that it tells the story of your project clearly and shows off your work to best advantage. Simple formats which are easy for the viewer to read are almost always the best; we should be more interested in the work than the way it’s packaged. But it takes time to make sure you have included all the right work, printed...
(Work Leading Up To) One Museum
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 3 months ago.
You all now have a vast array of material, information, tactics, ideas and work-in- progress, and you should now start thinking how to combine, select and start developing this work to form your own proposal for a museum of the DDR. This project will continue until the end of the year, and from now on you will be developing your own project tactics. Briefs are more likely to be to do with presentation techniques, hand-in requirements and general information. To do this, you should all continue to develop the work and the tactics which you have already developed. This is not a new sta...
Five exhibits, five installations, five site strategies
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 3 months ago.
You should now be starting to speculate on how all your various ideas – 100 objects, 100 museums, patterns and geometry, architectural fragments and approached might be used to generate a new kind of museum on the site and int the context which you have now seen.
Review the work you did and the visits you made in Berlin. Think about what you have seen and identify at least fifteen key things for each of you to discuss on Thursday, in relation to how you will now start developing your museum.
This work will be largely you selecting key images, sketches, photos and ideas from ...
Project no 6: Site visit: Berlin
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 3 months ago.
Working in groups, you should prepare so that you can take advantage of whatever time you are able to spend in Berlin. You should organise your research in your groups so that you don’t duplicate work, but can share information between you. Each group will also be responsible for providing information / organising visits for the whole group.
There are inevitably areas of overlap here, and you should collaborate with other groups to make sure you make the best use of time. With those of you who are in on Monday (which should included as many people as possible from each group) we...
Project 5: Lots of models/Interim Crits
Post by Studio 15 originally posted 4 months ago.
Everyone now has some great examples of pattern work and some tentative steps about how they might be re-interpreted as fragments of architecture. You should all continue to develop these techniques: developing the ideas you are exploring (as directed in your most recent presentations) and in most cases continuing to create, re-interpret, develop and re-thing new ones.
At all times, keep your mind open: patterns you have developed as a column may work best as a plan. patterns you though were a plan may work best as a city. Your patterns may work better than the more convention...
