Andrew just a heads up that Communications work due on tuesday has taken over!
Hence the 1:50 model is not going to be as complete and awesome as promised. In fact it will be very incomplete.

IMPORTANT CHANGE OF DATE - FINAL SUBMISSION

Hi Guys,
Sorry about this but the final review date has been moved due to constraints as to when the end of semester exhibition can occur.

THE FINAL SUBMISSION: TUESDAY 15 JUNE

FOLIO SUBMISSION: THURSDAY 17 JUNE
(4PM AT ARCHITECTURE RECEPTION)

EXHIBITION SETUP: MONDAY 21 JUNE (9.30-2.00PM)

This means the following:

Your design should be completed by Monday 7 June - this will give you 1 week to build a final model and complete the drawings and folio

Like the interim semester you should compile a limited number of sheets (between 10-15) from your portfolio to form a digitial presentation.

Therefore - you have 10-11 days to finish the design process.

The submission requirements are:

1) Complete one set of drawings for the final project: these should be incorporated into your portfolio and be to scale. You might include other diagrams or written text to explain the critical design moves

2) Refine your position statement: it should clearly set out the intentions of the projects, conceptual framework and approach. The position statement should be written as an accompanying explanation of the project. In other words, if you were not there to present the project, the position statement would work as a substitute.

3) Construct a hybrid drawing / model using the laser cutter. The model should incorporate at least one plan and one section as an etched drawing. Think laterally as to how these might be included in the model – is it a pull-apart model? - do you have sliding components which have the drawings etched on them (as if a slender cut is removed from the model)? – are they somehow printed around the model on the base? There are many options. If you wish, you could elaborate on this by including other drawings (ie. axo’s, perspectives) as part of the hybrid model.

4) Provide a printout of the complete portfolio of the whole semesters work – do not bind it – but collate the sheets in the correct order. Include an index and coversheet. The position statement should effectively work as an introduction to the projects within the portfolio. Remember that the order of the work does not have to follow the sequence in which the work was completed (if there is ancillary or less relevant work to the projects this can be placed in an appendix).
wow making a 1:50 model is really handy, i'll be able to make a bit of pocket money renting it out as a granny flat when it's finished..

Andrew, so i did another 'quick and dirty' model (as you would say), with one surface as the hill. The architecture would pop out a little, doubling as spots to sit on, these bits would be very Ando like, in that they are precise cuts into the landscape. and you would see that tension between the linear edges of the building and the angled hill. Is that on a better track?

Tim- pool program

tim, here is the program that we used in the pool studio i did, you can also think about, gyms, creches, spas, steam rooms, sauna, exercise class rooms (spin, yoga and aerobics) general purpose rooms for the community and pool service users (maybe to run course there) and you are looking at, ast least 20m2 for plant, but i can see if i can find specifics on sizes for you, but you do need to fit alot in them, eg filters, uv clarifiers etc.

yeah so if you need anything else let me know

Work for the next Week (24-31 May)

For the next week:

You should focus on two things:

1) a broad masterplan for the site (draw on you previous project and your 1:2000 model for how you might organise the project at this scale)

2) build a new physical model at 1:50 - this should be a study of the form, mass and internal organisation of your project in 3 dimensions. IT MUST BE SPATIAL - and provide a sense of what it is like to occupy and experience the building. Do not be precious with this model - it should be rough - quick - and reworked several times as part of the design process. Draw and sketch on it if need be to explain and test your ideas.

Bring the model in to the next class as a work in progress to discuss.

We will have one-on-one crits this Thursday. Times will be determined on Monday.

Position statement
- Shadow / Light (simple concept of building)
- Slow food market
- Slow food restaurants
- Little farms near station for experience (educational purpose)

In first research, my part was food and it’s about fast food and slow food. According to this subject, I will combine station with slow food.
Caroline Springs area is under Australian Ecosystems to throughout the construction and revegetation of an extensive wetland, lake and swale system at Caroline Springs since 2000. This work is for environment and nature in Caroline Springs and their purpose is similar with slow food. Slow food is simply sustainable quality food. It’s good, clean and fair food and especially clean means that the way it’s produced respects the environment, animal welfare and our health.
The building of this station will be mainly made up of glass and wood. And, the shape of building is cut and circular shape and the leaned roofs are covered with glass. This shape can show like trunk that cut off. I will make little farms near the station where people can have experience to cultivate some varieties of slow food. Because of the materials and the shape of building, the station building will be well-matched with the farms.
In the station, I will make slow food restaurant to let people know what are slow food dishes and make place for slow food market. According to Slow Food, there a slow food market in Melbourne and it’s held just once every month. So, the slow market in the station will be a unique place where people get slow food more frequently and easier in Melbourne. As well as, the little farms will be a educational place for school kids.

Attn Williams Landing Dawwgs

Spoke to a few people and reckon it would be ideal if we all work to the same site plan this time around, and it would be even better if we all took small parts of the site and developed them so we had a full 3D model for the context.
I'm talkin; trees, that half built overpass and contouring, all in delightful detail.

So i reckon we divide it up
Roads:
Proposed Buildings:
The Palmers Road overpass (2 people)
Trees
Contouring
I think that gives everybody a role.
Let me know what you think and which maps we will use.
