Overall Semester Presentation (Obstruction 5)

This is the final project presentation along with the overall semester's presentation (starting with the first project from left to right) Happy to say it was a great experience and cannot wait to use the lesson I have learned in the future.

Final Result of Objective 4

The Final result of the fourth objective showing my design of a jazz club in New Orleans, Louisiana on Dauphine Street. The two story building consists of a lounge, a kitchen, the second floor for the band to play "in the air" and a V.I.P. section that opens up to the outdoor balconies to view some of New Orleans on another level. 

Three New Perspectives

Three new perspectives I created for today's class

Perspective Drawings from Others

In class, we each were assigned someone that we drew new perspectives for in a picture that was given to us. My classmate, Mai, drew two new perspectives using two of my photos. 

Objection 4: This and That process drawings

The final presentation of the project consisting of perspectives, floor plans, sections, a site map, and an additional model to show what the building would look like in reality. 

These are process collages for the next step of the project. In this, we created a section cut of the building and then started our process from there.

Conceptual collages for the third objective: Exquisite Corpse. This helps in creating a new floor plan based of the collage and then identifying the rooms/sections in the building.

Final Presentation of the Second Objective: Flip Flop House

Final pour of the wax drawing

Rough drawings on the new Objective: Flip Flop House. The idea is the take the ideas of our precedent models and turn them into the opposite of what they are. For example, my building is not underground, so I placed it underground instead.

 

 

This past week, we had our first official critique on the first objective. The objective was to take the building we studied and made it skinny but kept the same square footage for each room in the building. Here are some drawings and the model from the critique.

Floor Plans of the Villa Ocampo

The floor plans of the Villa Ocampo showing the layout of the building are very interesting to see. Le Corbusier had a way of  giving the building excitement. For instance, he placed a pool on the fourth floor (bottom photo). I do not know many people to make a pool on the top floor. Another interesting quality Le Corbusier added to this building was the open garden space he created that acted like a beam of  light cutting into the building. The triple height space is cut through the building so whichever floor you stand on, you can see the garden below. 

About the Villa Ocampo

The Villa Ocampo is an unbuilt project created by Le Corbusier in 1928. This project, if ever made, would be located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Le Corbusier created this idea for Victoria Ocampo, an Argentinian writer, intellectual, and publisher. First looking at the building, you'll notice the building is square like many similar buildings he has made but the interior contains circles, curves, and a triple height space which you can see in the photo below.
