Röyksopp - Remind me

An entertaining way to see a bunch of cool diagrams. Pay attention to how the mappings change in level of detail depending on what the author wants the viewer to understand.

Site Analysis Pinup Tomorrow

Our section will pinup tomorrow at 1pm in Room 314 with Aj. Laura's section.  Aei, Ploy, and Yipta: you will present your group study first so please be ready to start at 1pm.  After your discussing your group work, you will then present the development of your individual research/concepts.  Any partii drawings / conceptual plans / sections / perspectives / models / diagrams of a design scheme are welcome, too.

Seeing the analysis work of your classmates will be vital to your design work so the presentation order for the rest of the class will not be announced ahead of time.  If you are not in the room when it is your turn to pinup, you will not be allowed to present.  I will also assign an audience member to take noes for each group that is presenting so no comments get forgotten.

Elements of Architecture Readings

The readings from Pierre von Meiss's classic book I distributed in class this week can be downloaded below.  Understanding these selections will help you draw conclusions from your site analysis work as well as articulate your developing design concepts.

Staging Ground : The Agency of Infrastructure

If you are looking for references for diagrams and perspective renderings, get inspired by the visualizations Andrew TenBrink created for his 2010 thesis work for a Master of Landscape Architecture II degree at Harvard GSD.  All of the perspectives/plates from his blog (link below) can be enlarged.  The images may seem to use software that you do not know, but see if you can express the atmosphere and sequence through your project by using your perspectives, too.

'visual complexity' website

visual complexity exhibits a multitude of examples for representing complex networks.  Consider how the your site analysis can become clearer by presenting your findings in a more abstract manner.

Project1-Ploy

Concept : Destruction of uniformity

When looking at the whole picture of the community, the existing bridge is seen as being uniformed. All bridges which connect Chula campus together along Phayathai Road were constructed the same way, however, they are unique in their own ways due to the differences in the environmental conditions. To emphasize the uniqueness, the new design is to further destruct the sense of uniformity by contrasting the original form and shape of the existing design.

The original bridge model

First study model, focusing on the accessible greenspace

Second model, thinking more of the space. 

Different materials are shown by using different kind of chan-oy and cardboard

Third study model, playing with space, so it won't look symmetrical

There are seatings for users with the major circulation route for people to cross

A section of 1:50 model

Fourth study model

Final model, providing users various kind of seating for different needs and satisfactions

Different levels of trees for users to obtain different perceptions along the footbridge

Different levels seating for users to experience different perceptions

Provided shade all along the footbridge to protect from both rain and sun ray
