Massing and Parti

3 comments:

  1. I have to comment, first on the template you are using for this blog. It is quite nice and streamlined in its appearance, but is torturous to navigate. I cannot tell if the photo quality is degraded by the template/blog host or if you are purposely photoshopping the images for effect. Whichever it is, the photos are illegible (and I am looking at this on a 27" monitor). Aside form the confusing tag of ground floor "elevation" (plan?) on some of the slides, there are no other descriptors in your "diagrams." he monochromatic color scheme has no heirarchy of information, and thus results in block tracing of the image you are attempting to analyze. If there was something learned in this exercise, it is not evident in your presentation methodology.

  2. On my laptop, the images are cut and the double scroll on the side is very tricky. I would take a bit of time and look at your classmates blogs to see what works best. I think this is a good start with you work, but you will need to keep it organized - and look over your text.

  3. Can only add to what others are saying - double scroll is quite annoying and image quality is poor (some sort of monochromatic colour scheme as Andy says). Your analysis is generally good though but doesn't necessarily illustrate the parti of each building - with technology, its too easy to just look at a plan and just simplify it into a shape. It would be great if you had just sketched the parti roughly with a pencil rather than reverse engineer it in such a clinical form. I think you'd probably have gained a better understanding of the parti in this way as the final plan is obviously refined to such an extent that its original parti may have been lost slightly.

    You are generally doing well so far, I think you just need to refine how you display your posts and illustrate better that you understand what you are being asked to examine.
