These are a few of the precedents we were looking at to get ideas about materials and light...

The New Museum of Contemporary Art by SANAA
Phaeno Science Center by Zaha Hadid

Bloch Building by Steven Holl

We worked in digital project to find all the shadows throughout the day. we took 3 different times a day and 3 times throughout the school year so we could find out all t he shadows on the site. the picture above is of the three times a year three times a day laid on top of one another and the picture below they are separated.

After we did all the shadows we decided to look at only the immediate site. we took all the shadows for 5 times a day at different cut levels and 3 different times a year. we laid all of them on top of each other and traced to find where the most light was. we wanted to use the light spaces for circulation and build spaces off of the bright circulation areas.

We tried doing the same thing with the sections and integrate them with the plans so we will begin to work sectionally as well as in plan.

We took the plans and placed the program in around the circulation. We want to use t he circulation as the brightest and then diffuse the light in the spaces and these diagrams represent the lightest spaces to the darkest spaces but diffused because its not crisp clean lines between light and dark in most areas.

These are the sections that we need to work on because we focused so heavily on plan that we need to use the same technique in section to make the project more conducive and dynamic.

These are just diagrams to show where the circulation is and where the light is and how they relate.

These two pictures are of our model of all of the shadows on our site.

This is our physical model. We want to explore more options with how we use the light. more of a diffused light through the use of different materials and how we want those materials to help shape the light in the space.

OK so... they are surface contact and coincident.... still wont go together from when i tried the other day.... im gunna try a different tutorial

I dont know what is wrong with the computers in the studio but none of them would let me sign on..... i have 20 minutes left of the second tutorial and theres a class in the BT lab.... so??? idk what to do

Did the majority of the tutorials.... almost done with the second one... have about 20 minutes left but i cant take it anymore so im gunna leave and come back tomorrow... have a few errors in my drawings so its pissing me off otherwise i would have already been done. anyway... here are some pics from what ive done so far

So i just bought Digital Project..... i got the tracking number and now i have no idea how, when or where i will recieve this program? i guess ill be going down to the BT lab

So yesterday i know i said i was going to do a tutorial today but while i was at work i watched them and then my dad said he was gunna be here right when i got out of work so i havent got much time now. I think i get the jist of what im going to be doing in digital project but we'll have to see once i start trying to mess around with it. Later gator
