midterm notes - kj

where's the relationship between elderly and daycare? - physically
the language used in children's spaces and elderly are the same - what distinguishes them?
used conventional architecture - should be creating new architecture
acts to link the spaces doesn't link them
detail model - poetic - tectonically and socially
how did you lose the curiosity - experience?
communities of people cannot experience unpredictability of architecture
in detail - furniture and aperture specifically relate to child - through tectonics of structure the 2 interact - middle space in architecture - everything should spawn from it

transition from detail to large scale is difficult but you need to take a position that carries through to both scales - must carry through
have a multiplicity of courtyards at multiple scales

at all times - retain connection between 2 groups - these walls connect the 2 in all places
circulation system must be integrated in program
think about accessibility of surrounding elements
what about the view of the water - the horizon?
take this into consideration in design

more important how building behaves rather than how it looks


to do for monday: model work in detail - spawning from wall detail as the source - will post again when the specificity is realized

thanks to kwangmi and derek for the notes
