Collage of Harvard Yard

Juan Gris, The Book pt. 13

 After discussing my thoughts on the site and the drawdel, I decided to add more to it to convey the idea stronger and first manipulated the study model, before moving up to the bigger scale 22" x 32" drawdel.  I decided to create channels which derived or are guided by extending the lines of the buildings bordering my site and then those of the carpenter center.  Doing this added a sectional quality to the drawdel and defined the site better. 













                                                      
                                                                                                                                                   

For  the final model I first plotted out the sheet of the map of the site 24 x 36 so that I could extend the path way lines off the drawdel showing that there is more to the map.  The excess border would be trimmed during the construction of the drawdel.  Here is a shot of me during the initial construction phase of the final drawdel.  Underneath this photo shows a completed drawdel.  For the final model I extended the lines of all the buildings on the site.

 Models for mapping / drawdel.  Idea is to show contrast between symmetrical lines of organization of buildings and the organic flow of the pedestrian paths within the site and then connecting the two through the buildings that perimeter the site I chose.

The first sketch on the left is a study on the longitudinal and lateral section of the site I picked.  To the right is a drawing that shows all the areas of harvard yard that are able to be spotted from the carpenter center. 

On the left is a diagram showing the symmetrical setup of the site that I chose and on the right is the pedestrian and vehicular circulation that are organized more organically and with no sense of symmetry to the buildings.

On the left is my idea of a photo collage and on the right is my idea of my drawdel.

 On Friday we presented our projects.  To the left is my entire pin up.  The two pictures below that are exploded axonometric ink drawings.  For the presentation I explained the ideas that I carried from my precedents into my seeing devices.  These ideas were that the parallel vertical lines in the painting by Juan Gris and the parallel structural walls of the Sarabhai house were used to structure both works so that I wanted to highlight the structural walls I created in my landscape model by creating a seeing device that would just show the walls when looked through.  The second device was to create a screen of nothingness with no evidence of structure supporting it, the exact opposite of the first vision machine and principles of other the other works.
