3D studies

Following on from my detailed exploration of the modular allotment earlier in the week, I have been studying its affect internally on the market area through digital and physical representation. A physical model of the wind shelter at roof level has also been made at 1:100, which encompasses folding geometry to create a retreat/viewing platform at roof level for the allotment workers.

    I’m liking image no 5!

  2. I agree.. Image 5 shows the potential of the different ramping and layering of circulation and programme spaces. It is also, of course, more ‘real’ than the first four images. Image #7 is also very good. It is starting to show a certain rhythm of structure. Take a look at the details of how different structural systems are meeting and conduct a quick study on how you want to resolve these intersections. This becomes a template for solving other similar moments in your design proposal. Good work!

  3. Good to see this developing – I find image 6 encouraging – it gives a sense of the surface you are creating and how inhabitation, shelter and growing are moulding it – keep going…

    Given you are spanning the Thames structure is obviously key. Try to avoid it becoming too two dimensional and flyover like – your physical models suggest interweaving and interpenetration which seems much richer spatially than a single structure/surface with an ‘above’ and ‘below’.

  1. No trackbacks yet.
