Progress renderings
These images give a very rough overview of my work from the last few days. I designed a residential unit, which incorporates both indoor living space and an exterior platform. The platform is outlined by a skeletal structure, which can be enclosed in the winter. This aggregation has platforms from separate living spaces aligning, so they become public/private gardens suspended in the air. (Netting enclosure not shown.)

very nice melissa, very nice. i think we need something neavier branching with them, like a diagonal huge column that can support mechanicals and circulation. as in off of the base there is a large structural branch pointing down. or develope your structural branches to accomodate the large structural infrastructural elements of the program. the unit is kind of kick ass. the particular aggregations look alright, but a little flimsy. But i think its coming along really well.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, your residential unit is quite nice and elegant. I also appreciate the kind of surface continuity you achieve between your units within the aggregate that produce other types of spaces. In this way the aggregate is more than just the summation of each of the individual spaces. I think it is important to keep these types of qualities in mind while developing the aggregate and the design of the unit and its connections/tensions with other infrastructural elements. The aggregation renderings seem to suggest that you have been working with a section of the tower. It will be interesting to see how the aggregate develops as it meets the sky / park / street /river of your site. Will we see the same pattern of relationships or do they take on other forms as they engage other programmatic and site conditions?
