tasks for next week

Dear all,

Thank you for the exciting crit-session yesterday. I´m doing all i can to
exhibit the results of our first exercise. Therefor i need to photograph your
material, so please bring me all your models at my office as soon as possible,
room 601A.

We are now entering phase two, which includes the site analysis and the
development of a concept for the building to come. The groups which will analyze
each of the 3  different sites  and their fields of analysis are:

A. Corniche
- Al Riachi Elie, Basmar Nour (02- heights, surroundings)
- Sharif Maya, Nehmeh Ali (01- drawing, 3d model)
- Ghostine Tina (04- movements and streams)
- Hatem Rima, Kallab Alexandra (03- functions, public - private spaces)
- Merheb Ghady (05 - history)

B. Down Town
- Al Zaatari Razan, Simitian Anahid (05 - history)
- Aoun Lily, Barbar Aziz,  Richard Aoun (02- heights, surroundings)
- Chamra Mhamad, El Abdallah Mohamad (03- functions, public - private spaces)
- Ghaziri Saria, Harake Rima (04- movements and streams)
- Iskandar Khalid, Zoghby Nour (01-Drawings, 3d Model)

C. Ashrafiye
- Al Skaff Samar, Haddad Zahy  (01-Drawings, 3d Model)
- Gkinis Iosif,  (02- heights, surroundings)
- El Annan Husnieh (03- functions, public - private spaces)
- Ayash Firas (04- movements and streams)
- Safaoui Sarah (05 - history)

Each group has to analyze each particular site and deliver a set of A4
(landscape) documentation in architectural diagrams and drawings on following
topics:

1. Draw the site plan out of google maps in scale 1/500. Estimate the topology.
Precision is not a requirement. Delivery of a DWG drawing and a rhino 3d model.
2. Analysis of the surrounding buildings, in terms of building heights and
facades, architectural styles.
3. Analysis of the functions in public and private space, day and
night...summer-winter... what is there? what is missing...
4. Analysis of the movements and streams... cars, pedestrians, day- night,
summer-winter.
5. Historical review, with maps and history of the area in the past.

We can talk about first questions on Tuesday, 14.30h at the Beirut Campus, Nicol
Hall, room 118! Final presentation and discussion of your analysis is on coming
Thursday the 11.11, 2010. More information for the bus to Beirut will follow on
Monday, Best regards

choosing the projects site...

dear Students, you have the possibility of choosing between three sites:

Corniche

Downtown

Ashrafiye











dear Students,

you have the possibility of choosing between three sites.   Each group has to analyze each particular site and deliver a set of A4 (landscape) documentation in architectural diagrams and drawings on following topics:

1. Draw the site plan out of google maps in scale 1/500. Estimate the topology. Precizion is not a requirement. Delivery of a DWG drawing and a rhino 3d model.
2. Analysis of the surrounding buildings, in terms of building heights and facades, architectural styles.

5. Historical review, with maps and history of the area in the past.

The analysis will be presented on the 11th of November, 1400h, room 301. You can pick out a site and a theme to analyze tomorrow (subscribe in a relevant list) .

Each site can have a maximum of 8-9 people.
See you tomorrow!

first working models....

 

 

                      

 

 

tomorrows meeting (21.10.2010) will take place in the Beirut Campus!

Dear Students, our meeting tomorrow will take place at the room LRC21 in the Beirut campus. We start at 1330 and finish at 1545h. Please also notice that the Studio dates set on the syllabus can unfortunately not be changed, thus i´m reminding you:

04.11.2010 : Final presentation of the first phase, and finished Prototype. Please also prepare a pdf presentation (A4 flat) showing diagrams of your evolution research models, manufacturing drawings, different variations and pictures. The diagrams should be in a vectorized form. Please also deliver a CD with the pdf presentation and your rhino files, all placed in a folder with your name.

Looking forward for your exciting work, see you tomorrow in Beirut!

for next meeting....

dear students, please focus on generating a digital 3d model, based on a certain investigation concerning spatial, geometrical and structural criteria. We are searching for a systematic approach on a spatial condition. I spoke with almost everyone on Thursday, so I´m kindly asking those, who did not speak with me, to do it next time! Please send me some rhino snapshots of your spatial research, thus i can place it on the blog! Remember, the presentation for the prototyping face is 04.11.2010!

See you next week!

what to do till the next meeting...

all students are kindly requested to prepare a digital 3d model, investigating a spatial-geometrical condition, in association we the 3d tools and techniques learned: surface conditions, density differentiation, sweep algorithms, spatial growth, pattern gradients, volumetric transformation, lofted splines, ect... a physical model is not necessary yet, but definitely helpful! The studies may not by arbitrary, but based on a systematic approach. Asterios will hold individual talks with all the students! see you on Thursday!
