Program: Physical & Occupational therapy center
Lastly, This Collage represents the feeling of being hurt physically, where a natural bodily function is damaged, and the feeling of undergoing treatment to get back to normal.
I will completely reserve comment on the graphic quality of your collages, but to say that as an architect you need to be conscious of the level of any document you present.
ReplyDeleteWhere I am lost is even with your descriptions, I am completely at a loss as to what you are trying to evoke or include in your project. As there is no infrastructure that I can see in the design of these collages, there is little to critique as it applies to the transformation of thought into built environment. While there are several good images here, the relationship to space is still elusive. without going back to previous posts, I could not even remember what type of facility you are proposing for the site.
Hi Harold,
ReplyDeleteYour conceptual development is obviously going to be difficult to evaluate as I’m sure there are plenty of ideas flying around your head, many of which probably don’t come across completely in your images. What I would say is that you try come up with a strong concept that runs through your architecture and can help you make decisions along the line – Daniel Libeskind and Zaha Hadid are pretty good at this narrative, and although a lot of it is waffle, I’m sure a strong narrative would provide a good grounding for your designs. Your presentations to date and your analysed buildings are all relatively ordered and somewhat safe – I hope that when we start looking at your initial sketches, they can be a little bit more out-there than if you were designing in the real world. Push the boat out so to speak – it will be much more worthwhile and look far better in your portfolio than a safe, ordered building. And the colour and subject matter of your final image shows you have taken on board the previous comments on colour perception, health, etc…
Best of luck with your initial sketches – would be good if you interacted a bit more by clarifying your thoughts and answering comments because you’ll get much more out of myself and the other reviewers if you push us for advice.
Totally agree with both Andy and Murph.
ReplyDeleteYou need to be a lot more descriptive so you can captivate you audience, not only with images, but verbally as well. You need to clarify your thought process.
