Brief for part B of casting exercise:
You need make it more building like - this means it has to have a beginning, middle and end
ask yourself:
where do I enter?
How big is it? How big does it want to feel?
Where do I sit and how?
Where are the apetures?
How is the surface textured? (smooth, rough, see-through/opaque)
How does the structure work? Is it seperate to surface? Do you see it? exoskeleton? endoskeleton? crust?
do we need columns? do we need itermediate structure?
What do you want people to feel inside and how do you achieve it? (light/dark, surface texture, colour, threshold, ceiling heights, slope of the walls, sound)
How do people relate to each other inside? idividual/collective/multifunctional? How does the furniture?
How does the whole thing relate to the ground line?
Composition:
This needs to plug into your passage, but its relation is not fixed to the rest? how do you travel through the passage? What do you see first? how might the building start to co-here from this point - is this the most important piece or is it something else?
Hand in:
- sections
- plan
- views (beginning, middle, end)
