Crunch time: 11

EARLIER SCHEME 1 & 2

I formatted our earlier process work, thinking it could be useful if we turned it into a booklet to portray our earlier explorations. We ended up selecting a few important ones for the pinup in order to avoid confusion during the crit that might draw the focus away from our final design.

Zone planing for roofscape park. After doing some research in park designs, I was quite drawn to Louis Kahn's Four Freedoms Park. I was quite inspired by the large concrete masses that surrounds the green space (this would inform the design for the folly elements).

We also looked at Aldo Van Eyck's playground moments as playful elements that can incorporated into the park space.

The playful structures can start to become quite sculptural like Enrich Miralles's Igualada cemetery, the large protruding skylight elements + steel sculptures at the front of the cemetery.

Maud Caubet's campus in Marly-Le-Roi also reminded me of Noah's earlier story-telling moments in the previous roofscape renders, so we'll be looking to include those as well.

Looking at park elements: Deconstructing the follies.

1. Framing particular views, Heritage buildings.

2. Skylight pavilions

3. Circular story-telling group seating

4. Shelter

5. Active, playful elements that involves climbing.

Demarcating the zones: points where circulation pushes out to the edges of the roof for a framed view, places for activity, places for shelter, places for seating.

While looking to make our folly models, I played around with splicer to construct our formwork to cast our model with. Splicer would've made the model quite rough and time consuming (the assemblage). So we decided to go with the 3D print instead.

FOLLY DRAWINGS

I laid out the follies in an axonometric, dimetric, trimetric view on all faces to choose which best presented our follies. We settled on the axonometric views as it was the most balanced, and chose the one with the most interesting face.

Instead of using hidden lines to present the interiors, I thought it would be easier and more straight-forward to present the follies along with their plans.

First Iteration

Final Iteration: I felt that the sculpture placed within the room a bit large, so I reduced it in the following image and shifted the perspective slightly.
