CONCEPT DIAGRAMS:
After you have a sketch of your concept idea we would like you to take it to an upper level, represent your ideas clearly using basic diagram technics for others to understand your ideas. While drawing your concept diagrams in illustrator, please concentrate on:
1. Your building's relationship with the urban context
2. Site references (ex. pedestrian circulation, traffic, light, wind analysis ext.)
3. Your building's massing strategy. This will be defined from your answers to these questions:
a. What a contemporary workspace should be like?
b. Site references?
c. Studies resulting from the animation technics?
Find below some examples for your concept diagrams.
Defining your program and location of your massing on the site.
I was suggesting to use box diagrams showing the internal organization of your building. This does not mean that your final building's form will be this, but just to have an idea about the area of the spaces and starting to define the connection between your building's elements. While doing this:
1. Integrate your concept ideas into your diagrams.
2. Define where your building will be located on the site.
3. Use color coding for different kind of functions ( ex. different colors for circulation, common and work spaces ext.)
Find an example below.( a very conventional diagram showing the spaces of the building, I am sure you will come up with much better ones)
STEP 3-START MODELING YOUR MASSING AND TESTING
After having your concept idea clearly explained and defining your program elements, the next step is to start dealing with the reality! Start modeling your building on the site, test it with animation tools and with the other tools we are showing/ and going to show in the class, just have fun with them, always keeping your conceptual strategy in your mind. The main step is to have an idea about what you want to achieve with them, and looking forward to seeing your ideas clearly represented.
