1) Supplies: sketchpad, camera and your anthropomorphic proportions.
2) Reading: Architecture: Form, Space and Order, Francis D.K. Ching
5. Circulation: approach; entrance; configuration of the path; and path - space relationships
3) Objectives: human body proportions, site measuring, photo documentation, drawing in plan and section, importance of line weights, and understanding different scales.
4) Background
You have already explored your Transformation Space – SPAN at ½” = 1’-0” scale, human scale: the stair and architectural element relative to the proportions and dimensions of your body. Now we will study our Transformation Space – SPAN at 1/8” = 1’-0” scale and 1”= 20’-0”. This will entail now expanding your investigation beyond the relationship that your site has with your human scale. You will now develop and understanding of how your site relates to other features and spaces that lie around them. This will involve an exploration of approaches, circulation elements and path configurations.
5) ASSIGNMENT
Span Expanded
As has been discussed in class, using your site, (the stair and architectural element at ½” = 1’-0” scale) you are asked to expand your scope of investigations to both 1/8” = 1’-0” and 1” = 20’-0” in both plan and section elevations.
