WHAT'S DUE NEXT.

One thing about the diagramming exercise- you should not be simply reproducing the images you are analyizing, rather you need to abstract the underlying material organization of what you are analyzing. For example, if you are looking living things, do not create representations of these living things, rather look at how this living things are spatially, functionally, and formally organized- then use an abstraction of these organizations to create a system.

By next class you should be posting 4 DEVELOPED systems that where derived from the diagramming exercise. You should be exploring how these systems interact with one another, the system (4x4) of the house and the environmental conditions of the site. The systems by themselves should be reasonably simple, but as they interact with each other, the system of the house, and the conditions of the site, they should become reasonably complex.
And with these systems you should start to explore various architectural elements such as structure, enclosures, apertures, and circulations.


To make this project successful you should use repetitive elements, but the repetitive elements should react, adjust and morph due to their situational conditions- think 'emergence'.

You should be building off techniques we used for the midterm.

And again, this is a intensive intervention (your design) into a extensive system (the house)- the house and site is yours to work with.

PLEASE REVIEW THE XEFIROTARCH INTERVENTION IN THE LAUTNER HOUSE AS AN ULTIMATE GOAL FOR THIS PROJECT.
