Drawings
All
The following list is an ongoing set of drawings that will help you into your projects. You could be developing them autonomously from each other as a means of exploring each without overwhelming yourself with integrating them quite yet. They can be thought of as slides in your final review but will also be put together for generative drawings that include culture texture, plan, and time:
Question: in Barcelona where food and food market culture is so strong, what will a food market network for 22@ look like? How is the 5 meal tradition here already adapting/shifting and how will your market space support this shift over the times of the day, week, and year? How can the food market network create an integrated community of workers and residents that complement each other?
**this is a chance for you to explore drawing, be adventurous / exploratory with your drawings methods! **lines**
– three thesis sentences: purpose/culture/material+effect
– district plan: figure field locating your neighborhood and highlighting key streets. light outline of the 22@ district.
– neighborhood plan: try to embed any differences within the language of your urban room network
– 2-3 conceptual images (take ownership of image but these explore the EFFECT. Name these in a word).
– 2-3 contextual images (place. Title these)
– Flows across site: water color or ink drawing. Map flows. (also taken from urban space collages) – Time/texture/2D Collages with scenarios and textures: Specific name of EVENT (Tschumi) + time and date of year.
– Material research: what is the EFFECT and the smallest component of the material system. show a sample of the raw material (you have no idea how many times this is missing from presentations!) The material should support your EFFECT. Show **three** conditions of the effect. Name them.
– Plan diagram, hand drawn in ink/water colored: ordering system; effect locations; organizational system- bands, strips, islands, mats, pathways (see Points+Lines) you have multiple ones. (may be in watercolor) 30 second drawings. **SYNTHESIS** 3 scales: Siteplan, plan, unit/module (plan and or elevation)
– comparative site: select a site we have visited. in the same hand of drawing, scale, lineweights, compare to your project
– urban room: zoom in to one space as a unit of your network system.
– collage perspectives of one or two moments at key event/scenarios. moody images! show effect. Nouvel, So-il, RCR
You may have multiple ordering systems across the site at various scenario times. Draw these. What physical structure will support them all without being generic?
We can review these individually on Sunday. Please be ready at 6pm as I need to leave by 9:30pm.

Below are some links to public art works that enhance the sense of place of their context, both natural and anthropological:
22@Analysis
We will enjoy Granada soon!
We will move on to synthesis of design work soon. Let me help with your thesis sentences so send them on to me, any of the three, and I will help.
To help provide an outline for your analysis work and review when we return you may use the following list of slides:
– Thesis paragraph with highlighted words: 1) concise yet complete question sentence touching on the definition of the site, the problem of workers/residents, and the effect to investigate on culture/food culture in 22@ (eating, shopping, and/or growing) ; 2) cultural and identity that you will highlight and support (consider comparison site/s from our prior walks); and 3) architectural strategy/ies that you will deploy to provide a structure/framework for the desired effects. think about living/working in 22@. use the 22@ website for information. You may review the questions in the Field Book/weblog for guidance.
(when drawing, ask yourself, “What would your mother ‘see’ / understand”)
– District plan (location plan)
– Neighborhood plan
– Open space diagram (based on the actualized 22@ plan and your site research)
– Residential use (Habitatge)
– Office use (Activitats)
– Institutional use (Equipaments)
– Protected Buildings (Edificis industrials consolidats)
– Timeline of 3-4 scenarios (time and event)
– Collage/diagram: Material texture, time, and 2D plan beneath (maybe first a quick digital test for the Sarria park) This will be a generative diagram for your project!

– *1-3 conceptual images- these should be worked / abstracted (possible video or proposed neighborhood website/weblog) (*when we return)
– *1-3 contextural images- Barcelona/Catalan culture
– Perhaps try a timed Site collage this weekend of site (with partner): thumbnail plan diagrams of ordering system, use, shadow, etc, perspectives, materials, and cultural symbols. name organizational systems/patterns. Organizational systems will lead from the Stan Allen readings/drawings. * begin to look for/test/propose organizational systems / frameworks that support conditions of Context | Operation | Matter.
– Comparative diagrams: select a space/neighborhood in Barcelona of similar conditions
– Look for and Map existing patterns of use/inhabitation over the time/over time. (see 03 Pluralism time-based diagrams of scenarios over site, Charlottesville Foot-Hills design).
– Any other site video, elevations, materials cataloging, effect cataloging, site-section, and/or other media
Please be ready at 5am at the apartment.
Thank you. Be safe over the weekend. Call me if you need anything.
