Alexis Rodriguez Assignment 6: Circulation, and Public vs. Private Spaces
These are solid diagrams, however it would be good to see more about what you've learned about each example with consideration to their similarities and differences.
Alexis, Your diagrams do speak for themselves, but I believe I agree with the above and earlier comments that they speak more when the information that is added is actually geared to your audience. As just one of your reviewers, I can only speak for myself, but I am familiar with architectural representation and the reading of plans. The arrows above serve to hi-light the corridors/pathways that may be taken, they are perhaps clearer because of the red. Unlike the library example in the handout, your buildings have multiple programs. Even though there are many differennt user types, and as such the 'paths' chosen could vary quite significantly based on use, there are overall patterns that would could emerge from multiple user 'types' accessing multiple programs that have very similar -and some different- aspects. By overlaying the multiple options, one starts to discover the 'prominent' pathways or sequences used to access the programs/buildings. The analysis could reveal the prominent perception of the building -based on path- gained by the users, or 'average experiences' of the building, and even specific views/perceptions geared to specific programs. These may -or may not- relate to the private vs public experience. Are there any 'celebrated spaces' in the private areas...or views to them from another perspective? The former analysis may inform the latter and vice versa.

ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Gafner I actually considered doing this for this assignment but in the end tried to let my diagrams speak for themselves.
DeleteAlexis,
