Notes for Week 7

Master plan/ infrastructure - created as a team
(infrastructure = strategy + logistics)
Tectonic resolution - operational, structural, function/purpose
Poetic resolution - presence/identity, experience, aesthetic rigour (not just building but presentation)
 - how can this be demonstrated? - communication of design organised

Strategy - identify existing
 - infrastructure you can use, or propose own infrastructure (must be justified)
 - invisible infrastructure = wifi network
 - urban scale of communication
What is infrastructure to you, and what moves within/uses your infrastructure?
 - server space (large space)

Logistics - usually only comes in at the end of the design process
 - how can it work (effectively)?
 - generate a set of drawings to describe what happens
 - how is infrastructure used to change things?
 - how do people move around?
...or do we become exoskeleton of existing structures
 - how can it be assembled? how can it be installed?

Purpose + Function -
 - describe building by simplifying built form - use to explain effectively
 - avoid "dry" architectural plans/sections - have people doing something specific

Circulation + Access -
 - how they move around - what is the process?
 - exploded diagrams
 - cut out, simplify
 - find a drawing you really like and learn from/copy it
 - simple but effective drawings - project

Structural/Operational Integrity -
 - exploded axometric
 - possible outcomes
 - how do you connect physical and digital layers?


Presence + Identity -
 - "fantastic rendering" showing building in context
 - how relevant will it be for the city?
 - exaggerating idea is fine - work out the best method to do this

User Experience -
 - make a video (?)
 - Storyboard? sequences/snapshot (someone doing something specific)
 - teach people (they need to learn how to use it)
