Ramblings and Sketches

I have been playing with the spaces of the basic floor plan I have created and posted on the previous blog. Here is just some sketches and ramblings of thoughts I have put down on paper. They may not make since but it is a few different layers of ideas. If you have any questions let me know. I will be postings all of my sketches so hopefully you can follow my thought processes!

Preliminary Floor Plan

Here is just my preliminary floor plan of the structure. I made this basic layout and am now bubble diagramming and block spacing within this basic model. I will post the few versions I block out later when they are done!!! Enjoy!

Preliminary Model

Here are some model images of the building so far on the park area. I have placed the trees there to show where the trees are located in the park now and how the building will fit within the space.

Space Program & Site Plan

I have decided on a set site plan for my project, it is Progress Park which I originally propossed in my proposal book. The area that is open within the park bounds is about 27,000 sq. ft. So with this in mind, I knew I would have to re evaluate my space program that I proposed last semester.

I originally had a total square footage of 39,900 sq. ft. So, I knew I had to cut out 12,900 sq. ft. I don't think this will be as drastic as it seems, because originally I added ALOT of extra space to each programmed space.

I had my spaces broken down into 3 zones: Entrance/Lobby, Office/Private, and Gallery/Studio

Here are the original square footages vs. the new square footages:

1. Entrance/Lobby orig: 4400 sq. ft. new: 3160 sq. ft.

2. Office/Private Orig: 5300 sq. ft. new: 4726 sq. ft.

3. Gallery/studio Orig: 31000 sq. ft. new: 12496 sq. ft.

The biggest cut is the Gallery/Studio zone, but I am combining two spaces into one room and making my gallery spaces smaller, I think it will work out.

I have shown here the site plan and a block diagram of how this will layout on the site plan and within the new structure. On the block plan the colors are divided into these spaces: pink=entrance/lobby, blue=gallery/courtyard, purple=office/private, yellow=studio/presentation

LOOOGGOOOO

Here is another logo, that is simlar to my original one with a different font and color on the house part.
