My Previous post looked at the new design I have developed for the final. Below are a few images of the new model I have built to further represent my ideas as I make the final push for the final review. At our peer review, I focused on material selection for the building as well as perspective views I wish to show. They will help with the relationship of the architecture to the landscape and how the two work together. Digressing to the idea of material, I am using stacked stone on the flat wall portions of my building and where the building curves I am using either a zinc paneling or a composite aluminium panel.

Peer-Review

by fcahill

For the peer-review I focused on what views I would focus on for the final review, materials for the building and showed the skatepark research I had done in order to decided what kind of skatepark (size, materials, location) to put in the site and how it would relate to the courthouse.  The perspectives focus on the view of the building and how it relates to the site versus material.  I included to ‘model’ perspectives that I plan on rendering similarly.

After the review, it was decided that the skatepark needs to be included in the perspectives but sections would not help my presentation because my building rotates so much it would not make anything clearer.  I also decided that my model needs to be more than a massing model but more a representation of the building and site and how they work together.

My plans are in the process of changing (after talking with Chrissy) and how my program dictated my form too much so they are not included.  The next few steps will be the finalization of my plans (with furniture, wall thickness and windows) and then I will begin to figure how to build my model and what types of materials I will be using.
