Project mid review came and went, and overall I felt it went well and got some good feedback that will push me forward.
I thought there were two big points from my crit which I will have to look at further for the rest of the term.
1. Creating a reading place that is meant to be isolated, how does this tie into the public urban fabric. I still feel like my concept is clear, and I want to stick to creating this type of environment.
2. The interaction between the reading area and the rest of the building, mainly the classrooms. How does this work with wanting to be isolated?
Other notes (thanks Jess!)
- a monastery for reading? How do you recreate this environment in an urban setting?
- engage the public with green space -> but just visual.
- isolation > only by hallways > which is where people come together > so maybe more isolation is necessary.
- space between building and university building, what exactly happens here? would be good if there was a link to the interior green space and that space.
- focus and void of green “canyon” could be explored more. Can be built upon.
