Hr: M/W 12:30-1:30pm & by appt. in MM307 (7/16/07)PROJECT 2: BUILDING STUDY (M&A)MINDSET The single most important source, and tool, for learning aboutarchitecture, is architecture. This is never more true, than whenstudying the materiality and unique construction of great works ofarchitecture. This graphic and modeling assignment will focus on twoimportant issues pertaining to the making of architecture. The first isto understand how designers use structure & materials to informspace or, at times, use space to inform structure. The second aspectof this assignment is to study how details can be used to create athematic whole to the building of which they are apart.WORK PROCESS:Depending on your studio instructor, each student will choose orbe assigned a building to study over the course of the semester (seenext page for final list). The first step is to gather as much documentary evidence of thedesign of your building as possible, from the overall context, to thedetail level, from as many sourcs as possible (internet, library, books,journals, foreign language sources, letters to the building owner,etc.). Thorough research takes time: your instructor may send you backseveral times to look for images or drawings of relevant parts of thebuilding, or ask you to draft to-scale plans from photos, if accuratedrawings seem unavailable. Create a large poster-sized exhibit aboutthe “Materials & Assembly” aspects of your building so that your wholestudio can learn from the building. Once you understand the basic formal principles, materialsexperiences, and construction detaisl of your building, determine how tore-represent these ideas. While a certain level of abstraction is alwaysnecessary in making a drawing or model, an attempt must be made tomaintain the essence and accuracy of the building. Throughsketches, axonometric drawings and a chip board model, analyze anytwo of the following aspects of your building:1. Structure: Primary and Secondary2. Structure: Structural System 1 & 2, # etc.3. Enclosure: Skin/ envelope4. Components: How the assembly of small parts lead to form andspace5. Material: How primary building materials lead to form and space6. Material: How the ground or roof plane is manipulated7. The relationship of circulation to structure8. Loadbearing to non-loadbearingDELIVERABLESEvery student must create at least one large scale analyticaldrawing, and one analytical model of their building, and must preparea 2-page “template” about the analysis of your building. Individualstudio instructors will add more requirements, as appropriate.
