Dionysios Thesis Scheduale

I will be seeking to explore any number of medians and performative techniques simultaneously throughout the semester. I want to continually translate and transform the information of various techniques into a concise thesis project. I will follow the noted dates of reviews as the framework to introducing certain themes, theories or concepts during the semester. The design process will act as a transformation or morhpology to these various themes introduced into the thesis. Below is the beginning thought process of when certain concepts and precedent will introduce thesmelves into this process.

Jan. 31 Synaesthetic Construction (Defined by Professors)

This will begin the dialogue of the various medians and techniques. Site plans, sections and axonometric drawings will begin to formulate a tectonic gesture on the site. The spatial qualities beginning to take into account themes within the thesis booklet. For the review as given by the professors; a study model will be generated as a detail to explore the material and inter sensory condition of an edge within the thesis. Generative qualitives that can expand the construct into the water, the threshold between program and infrastructure/urban boundary, and the subterranean quality of storing objects.

Once a tectonic gesture is achieved on the site and a material construction method is explored, precedent research will begin to enrich the sites performative techniques. Historical and cultural precedent will be the next phase of transformation for the thesis. Relevant information from the sites context will seek to enrich and develop the urban quality of the programs site planning. The historical and cultural information from the Baby boomer generation will be used to enrich and develope the inter sensory conditions of the interior space.

These first two stages of the process may very well be interchangable or developed simultaneously as the cultural and historical relevance of the site should very well develope the tectonic gesture of the project.

Once the tectonic gesture is enriched by cultural and historical precedent its ability to generate a programatic field will be studied. Site plans and site models will be used to build upon themselves and explore the potential the gesture has to grow and generate a larger field conditions. This generative quality is the means by which the program is able to store and archive the generational history of its inhabitants. The thesis can not be a static condition but must explore its ability to generate inter sensory conditions of its interior designed by its inhabitants.

The last phase is a combination of all three phases before this. The effort for this last phase of the project is to further develope on the theories of the first three phases. The development should seek to enrich the quality of the spaces and develope the quanitity of inter sensory conditions inherent in them. This phase is where the design becomes precise and coherent in its efforts. Constructions documents including, plan, section, elevations and axo's, exploded details and models of various scales and informative qualities. This last part is where the project needs to culmiante into a whole and express the projects ability to translate all the theories and concepts within the booklet.
