Notes from Monday

Brian P.
don't forget the existing buildings in your model (in your project)
does the structure breakdown? does the framing of it, columns beams inform your design, your drawings.
some of the formal gestures are at odds with the research of the studio.
this is formal now, and needs to be dug into, get in the interior spaces, and apply those qualitative aspects you speak of, program, also try to make it move as you say it does, in model.
convince us that the precession does what you say.

Jon L.
the diagram of your project is critical
be aware of the structure, and be a bit more technical get into the detail

Brian J.
you need to ask more quesitons and more specific ones.
if you take out the columns what will you replace as structure, trusses?
still the space seems too small, you may need more, for the people.
just pick a performance, a play.
the detail should be what is experienced, not just the residual space between the existing wall and your insertion.
demonstrate that you want to reuse the building, take stills from your film and draw over them, and show the pulling away of walls.
look at the Living Theatre, the audience is all over the scaffolding, actors talk to you.

Kyung Sic
look at the space inside the museum and spaces exterior, immediately around.
make a relationship to the inside/outside.
look at the building structure, and Olmstead, the park.
how is this thing sited relative to the building/park.
maybe there is a moment where the jogger breaks thru the building.
draw in section, where is the park/museum in relation to your addition, are there ramps, or other levels you find important to connect with.
think about the history of the museum, you say there is already a 2nd layer added on, now you are adding a 3rd, it is important, the building is growing out into the park, it is 'exfoliating'

Stanley
something Cliff, artist that did work with the steel you mentioned, weathering different faces.
the rubber, think of the way buildings touch other buildings, the expansion joint, HH Center.
plans/sections.
check out the tube Rem Koolhaus did its like a big muffler.
a site plan would be helpful, get some of the fabric in, at 1/16"=1'-0"
several cross sections as well, show thicknesses of walls, invest in drawing.
draw the relationship of the parts.

David G.
go to section at 1/8"=1'-0" and get the whole block in them, you need the context of the site, as well as showing the void that is created within the block.

Alex G.
try scanning your drawings, and maybe blowing up a section.
simple diagram of your plan, entry is important, you may have done this already.
the slipping planes/walls should slip past the existing walls, the balconies should be reconsidered, the term terracing may be explored.
there is a vertical wall scheme, and a horizontal floor scheme, there is opportunity for the slipping walls to happen elsewhere in your project, and maybe in the horizontal if that is your path.
the walls you call party walls, aren't really party walls, they are facades, which are quite different, they are faces.
the subway grate when lit you can see way down, incredible, maybe there is something down there interms of your project, like the nightclub.
