Requirements Final Review:

1. Retreat Models (assignment 1)

cross- comparison
focus on repetitive activities/schedules and patterns versus unique events
choose one topic that you compare across the 3 retreats
develop retreat terminology, employ precise terminology


2. Crochet Models (assignment 1)

generate
collect
organize
show


3. Stitch diagrams (assignment 2)

global diagram
local diagrams
stitch matrix from the midterm will be pinned up


4. Retreat Performance Model 3D (assignment 3 and assignment 4)

develop your own
- architectural program (spaces and sf)
- list of operative terms, employ precise terminology (transformations, system status, interactions)
- programmatic layout models (3D) showing various routines and procedures/schedules:

In the program models employ behaviors and performances identified in crochet techniques and the scripting exercise. Employ their terminology.



5. Physical Model Retreat Program (assignment 4)

Laser cut models showing programmatic relationships of 4.
Serial section model (cardboard, plexi) or laser scored paper model (watercolor paper, white)

Alternatively generate a crocheted program model; identify unique spatial conditions, exaggerate and rebuild as enlarged (watercolor-) paper models.

all models monochrome



6. Site Plan with Governors Island Drawings (assignment 5 ++)

Pick and paste from the five Finalist proposals of the "Visions for Governors Island" competition those features that will enhance your retreat center's performance at the site on Governors Island. Investigate and draw as lines site conditions, flows and affects that characterize the site in anticipation of your program.

Include your spatial proposal, placed onto the site rendering programmatic placement and defining spaces, enclosures, exits/entries, building volumes and massings.

Generate 2 line drawings, 1 plan, 2 sections, scale 1/32nd"-1' b/w



7. Models - Site and Proposal Model

Generate surfaces models of an enhanced site that reflects your intention for the architectural proposal. Include your spatial proposal model
Use water color paper, foamy, cardboard, acrylic, etc. as discussed
Scales 1/32nd"=1' and 1/16th"=1' All models monochrome


Model of Building on its site, Scale 1/8th"=1'



8. Drawings 2D

2 Plans, Scale 1/16th"=1'
5 Sections, Scale 1/8th"=1'
1 Section Partial (facade), Scale 1/2th"=1'



9. Renderings

as needed to explain concept, key spaces and site integration



10. Present

Prepare a presentation with your key terminology (a list with your key words might be enough). Ask a fellow student to take notes for you during your presentation and discussion
