The Images above are GIF images that change gradually to present a specific study of the building. Note that the studies are what I perceive and assume to be true for the buildings.
Based on these studies I've established some basic knowledge of space organization for Research Facilities and what king of spaces are most likely required.
I like your approach. You have a lot more to complete. Based on you analysis what were your findings. What parts, if any can you implement towards your design?

ReplyDeleteHello Mac,
ReplyDelete....you decided to make the best possible use of virtual presentation tools to convey your set of ideas on these building examples and yet I feel something is missing, maybe the fact that you decided to leave out the elevation view when volumetric aspects (hierarchy/massing,etc) are presented (imagine how the pyramids look to the astronauts from above) or because the circulation lines - so perfectly drawn- don't seem to "flow"....so a word of caution here maybe: don't let the graphic tools -as efficient as they are for everyday work - define the "character" of your message, Mac's hand should be meddling in there with strokes of creativity.
