Facade Development
Dissatisfied with the flatness of the current façade, I set out to create something more dynamic and exciting. Moving corners of the façade elements just two feet inward creates movement and rhythm allowing for a much more expressive face.
That motion of the facade should carry thru in section and plan as well. Do not limit yourself to just a facade application
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say what your professor said.
ReplyDeleteDon't focus on the facade, focus on the program and create the best experinece possible from within. Plus those triangles do not seem to fit well in your design.
When i look to the first picture I imagine (and see) lines to the horizon, not forced triangles. Sometimes (most times) simple designs, though more difficult, are the right choice.
You might try the inwards moving facade approach later, just not with those voided triangles.
Keep up the good work.

A facade doesn't have to limit itself to an expression of just the outside or skin. I disagree with the others above - I do see how the facade is a progression of your previous concept models - of triangles positioning themselves towards different views and purposes. The facade your proposing has the potential be an expression of the program and plan you already started developing. It's part of the same language, visually. You can keep that expression going by extending the plan, by folding the flat planar triangles upwards, downwards, at angles - to actually form the facade. This way the facade is actually connected to the movement of the plan - floors fold up to become walls, walls fold to become ceilings. Doing this with triangles is going to create some interesting voids and negative spaces - which will echo alot of your earlier volume models and concept explorations.
