A lesson on using type...

Due for Monday March 7th at 1:25

Please have the following investigations completed by the beginning of class. Each investigation must be supported with visual evidence.

1. Site investigation -- relationships between the context of neighborhood, street, and major programed elements as outlined in the project statement. Visual evidence may include mass model, 2 dimensional diagrams, and other analysis that investigate the realtion of the existing physical conditions and the potential for design opportunities. (Team Solution)

2. Experiential story board investigation -- Collages or other forms of representation that describes the human experience of your "big" idea for the design of the Center. Watch the videos posted on the making of the Incredibles and note the importance of character development. The experience of the design should be expressed in collages that communicate interior and exterior spatial character of your "big idea(s)" you are exploring. Think of visual story telling as part of this investigation. Pay particular attention to how the designers use simple, stylized narratives to express character and ideas. 

• Collage -- digital or physical,impressionistic, allow for combination of unusual or combinations of ideas and objects that are not typically seed next to each other.
• Spatial -- the boards describe space in a perspectival, diminishing space format
• Sequenced move from exterior to interior -- macro scale to micro scale -- whole project to specific focused space investigated by your team (restaurant, school, community center, market, etc...)
• Point of View -- first person, who a child, mother, homeless, farmer??? 

Each member of the team should create unique story board investigation that includes multiple images that reveal an unique experience of the project.

3. Written narrative -- A two page written document that describes the key issues related to the site investigation and visual story board. Express the key experiences, ideas, and concepts that emerged from your investigations. Each team should have a written narrative for each team member to match the story boards. 

Have work out and hanging on the wall in studio at the beginning of class.
