Week 2 Project 1 > Notes

As you begin Project 1 with both group and individual work, I want to clarify a few points in response to some emails...

1. Sectional Model - Make sure you identify an appropriate and telling point at which to take your section/s through your villa. You will decide on your section/s with a good argument and understanding, as to why a particular cut has been chosen for the 'section model'. Discuss your thoughts about the building in depth before you make this call. Each building can be dissected in different ways so there will be many responses. Consider the sections drawn in the drawing material you have uncovered. Where did the architect draw their section? and why do you think?

2. Materials - It is important that you call/visit various art stores to find the appropriate materials for the project. Read the outline very carefully before you purchase. Plan the amount of materials required and calculate accordingly. Minimise waste and cost and be thoughtful with model making techniques because I will be looking for quality and precision.

Next Week:
MODEL: Arrange with group to bring all necessary model materials and building equipment. We will be getting straight into it! Have scaled drawings to use for reference as you build.
PARTI: Remember to bring at least 2 sketch Parti diagrams to class next week. Pin them neatly on the wall as a class group as you come to class next week. Lecture: Xing may highlight some key information and examples of partis on Monday.

*Important note: - Lecture has moved to Central Lecture Block 6
Attend the lecture so that you have the best possible understanding of the tasks in front of you.
I will expect to see you all there each week.
