Open House Set Up TOMORROW 9am

JurassicLeave a comment

Anyone that has items in the archive saved or upstairs in our studio space for Open House (selected by Profs) should show up at 9am tomorrow morning to help bring things to Center Core. The Professors will begin curating the Second Year work tomorrow morning. If you have exams in the morning, come after your exam or designate a friend/classmate to bring your work over. We will need some help throughout the day to help pin-up and arrange work – so please come ready to help out!

*** NOTE:? If you are helping out tomorrow – DO NOT STAND on Lower tabletop platforms – they are not stable and not meant for standing.? They are for Models only.? If you are pinning up – please move the table tops out of the way and replace after.? Please work with your professors on this while setting up.?

Phase 6 The Compilation

JurassicLeave a comment

Phase 6? The Compilation

Collecting and Composing // Chronicled Representation

The final exercise for the semester will focus on your final portfolio. This will be a total collection of work throughout the semester and for every assignment.? It will be important to establish the objectives of the semester, the sequence of information, the hierarchy of the information to be presented, and the clarity of the format, images and text.? Pay special attention to the composition and all of the details to make sure that the project is presented in a way that it strengthens your vision and its main qualities.?

These portfolios will be reviewed by all Second Year Professors and used to establish baselines for grading across the studio sections.? The portfolios will also be used in end of the year award selections, as well as, for CoA archiving, publication and accreditation purposes.? In addition, this portofolio should also be a starting point for collecting information for your own personal portfolios that you might use for future internship applications.?

6 A // Deliverables

?The format of the portfolios should be simple and clear.? The portfolio should include every assignment/phase of the semester.? This is an abbreviated list of the assignments we covered this semester:

Phase 1.1 and Phase 1.2 // Transition | Communal + Intimate

  • Drawings + Model Photographs

Phase 2 // Considering Context and Community?

  • Select Research? (approx. 5 maps/diagrams)

Phase 3 // Healthy Living Case Study

  • Drawings + Model Photographs

Phase 4 // Midterm Proposal?

  • Select Presentation work and model photos

Phase 5 // Final Proposal?

  • Final Presentation work – all deliverables with model photos

One (1) 11” x 17” PDF landscape portfolio of your entire semester’s catalogue of work.?

    • Title page:
      • Studio title (see syllabus)
      • Your professor
      • Your name
      • Date
    • Chapter pages with title of assignment
      • Include every “Phase” assignment
  • Maximum (1) or (2) images on a sheet?
  • the ideas is to clearly document the work, do not clutter the page
  • Take quality photos
    • If you have other models which you still want to and can take photos of, use a clean backdrop (all black or white – if you use the drape – please avoid a wrinkled background)
    • Can use CoA Photo booth in 3410
  • Labels for type of drawing or image
  • Package the portfolio as a PDF?
    • Use high resolution photos, but…
    • For large files (larger than 10MB), compress file by using the “Reduce File Size” button in Adobe Acrobat.
  • Can include project statements for each assignment or overall project
    • Keep statements concise and focused on the main ideas of the project
  • Use “spellcheck” before you submit
  • Template for reference:

6B // Issue Date | DUE DATE:

Issue Date: Monday, April 24, 2023

DUE DATE: Sunday, April 30, 2023 at midnight.

Upload Portfolio in PDF form to location as directed by your Sectional Professor.

Final Presentations Tomorrow!

JurassicLeave a comment

Tomorrow we will have our Second Year Final Reviews in Crown Hall starting promptly at 2pm.? A few things to note about the set up and schedule for tomorrow:

SET UP and CLEAN UP

  • Please arrive early by 1pm to begin setting up for your reviews.? You will find your section map for where to pin-up below.? You can coordinate with your section professors for exact set up location.??
    • Consider pre-taping your sheets or making a hidden pre-rolled stockpile of tape to use quickly.??
    • Work with your studio professor on alignments – again – more sheets are harder to align, maintain margins, ect.??
  • If you have been asked by your Prof to bring?Precedent models – bring those by 1:00pm to Crown Hall and help to bring up long model stands from lower core.? They will be exhibited for our reviewers to see our past explorations.??
  • If you are finished pinning up work – please either help another student pin-up or help me to set up chairs in each section, set up precedent models or assemble tables and food.?
  • DO NOT ARRIVE LATE!? If you arrive after 2pm (whether you are in the first group or not) , you will NOT be able to present your work for reviews.? That is the standard for ALL Sections.?
    • Prints and models have already been checked.? ?New material for the review will NOT be accepted.?
  • After reviews are done, I need everyone not only to take your own work back to studio, but to also help CLEAN UP Crown Hall.? This means put chairs back on the rack, clean up the food and garbage on the table and on the floors, make sure walls are clean and free of extra tape, model stands are returned back to original areas (each stand has a particular location).? I assured Mark Osorio that we would leave Crown Hall perfectly clean after we were done with reviews, so please help me make that happen.?

PRESENTATIONS

  • Prepare ahead of time what you intend to say and practice it a few times so you’re comfortable.? This will prevent you from rambling on and on or losing your train of thought.
  • Start with the Big Ideas.. then delve into details.? Don’t start in the middle of your design like walking them through the plan without giving your audience some overall goals/direction/concepts.?
  • Stick to your presentation time limits – the more you talk, the less feedback time.? You don’t want get cut off for talking too long.?
  • When you get feedback, these are ideas for you to consider.? Be accepting of the thoughts, not everything needs to be defended.??
  • Everyone is expected to stay for the full review and be attentive and wake!? Please limit your lingering at the food table.? Your attention to the review is a matter of RESPECT to your fellow peers and our invited guest reviewers.?

Looking forward to seeing the great work tomorrow!

Phase 5 Final Proposal

JurassicLeave a comment

Phase 5

Final Proposal

Designing for Healthy Living // Final Presentations + Review

5 A // Goals:

  • To find creative approaches to define communal and intimate spaces in multi-unit living??
  • Understand residential typology through organizing various units types, circulation and access?
  • Understand context for the residential typology – physical and social – reciprocal effects
  • Study sectional qualities of multiple living
  • To understand scale of living in multiples

Your final project and presentation are the culmination of your iterative design process.? The thoroughness of your project will reflect what you have learned from other assignments and how you have folded in concepts of the communal and intimate in your designs.? Your project should challenge the many facets of housing – social, organizational, formal, contextual – while spatially studying the potentials through vertically or sectionally driven schemes.??

Additionally, as we have narrowed our focus for each project, ideas for materiality and structure should be folded into your project.? These choices should support your design concepts, work with the environmental conditions, and enrich the qualities of the space.??

For your final presentations, you will need to narrate and curate your design thinking into one cohesive story.? As guidelines for your presentations, the following is a list of minimum requirements needed for you to best describe your project.??

MCHAP Day and MCHAP Assignment

JurassicLeave a comment

Tomorrow is MCHAP Day!? And we start bright and early at 9am.? I think you heard this from your professors but a few very important things:

  1. Tomorrow is NOT a day of from school… it is day of learning from the event for MCHAP.? The entire day was set up for STUDENTS aka You!? ?Thus, all CoA classes are cancelled so everyone can and will attend the morning studio reviews, the student interviews and the afternoon presentations.
  2. Everyone should be in Crown Hall at 9am to listen in to the studio reviews.? If you have outside CoA classes in the morning, you must let your studio professor know.? Otherwise, you should be in Crown Hall with notebooks actively listening and participating in the conversations.
  3. A few Second Year students have been selected to represent your Second Year Studio in the morning reviews with finalist Jose Cubilla valois-housing-building.? They will be presenting work at 9am in Lower Center Core.? I will be there early in the morning to set up for our morning studio review and checking on attendance from the rest of the Second Year studio that will be there showing support!? ?You can also listen in to the other studio reviews that will be going on throughout lower core, but it’s not time to linger or socialize.??
  4. In the afternoon at 1pm, there will be students interviewing the finalist and their projects in Lower Core.? Followed by Presentations by the Finalists.
  5. Your Professors will all be there in the afternoon and checking attendance.? If you are not present or leave early, this will be consider an unexcused absence.
  6. There are free lunches and dinners for students as well… check your emails from CoA about details for signing up!

The MCHAP Assignment

From your day of learning, listening and participating, we are asking you all to take notes and submit at least one thing that you learned from each of the 6 finalist that you didn’t already know or find online or on google!? This can be from any of the conversations or presentations you’ve engaged in throughout the day.? https://www.mchap.co/post/mchap-announces-2023-finalists

This can be written or diagrams or sketches.? ?Submit this to your professors by Monday, March 27 before studio at 2pm.

Midterm Presentations TOMORROW

JurassicLeave a comment

Tomorrow we will have our Second Year Midterm Review in Crown Hall starting promptly at 2pm.  A few things to note about the set up and schedule for tomorrow:

SET UP and CLEAN UP

  • Please arrive early by 1 pm to begin setting up for your reviews.? You will find your section map for where to pin-up below.? You can coordinate with your section professors for exact set up location.??
    • Consider pre-taping your sheets or making a hidden pre-rolled stockpile of tape to use quickly.  
    • Work with your studio professor on alignments – again – more sheets are harder to align, maintain margins, ect.  
  • Your Profs will peg a few of you to bring your Precedent models or Phase 1 half scale model to Crown Hall along with an appropriate model stand.? They will be exhibited for our reviewers to see our past explorations.? Please start to bring those over by 1pm – the professors will help you arrange them.
  • If you are finished pinning up work – please either help another student pin-up or help me to set up chairs in each section or assemble tables and food. 
  • DO NOT ARRIVE LATE!  If you arrive after 2pm (whether you are in the first group or not) , you will NOT be able to present your work for reviews.  That is the standard for ALL Sections. 
    • Print Early!!  We all know the chaos of printing too close to the deadline.  There might be line up at the printers so print early to avoid that. PRINTER ISSUES WILL NOT BE AN EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE.  
    • Consider printing off site like Staples or FedEx.  They might also be cheaper in cost. 
  • After reviews are done, I need everyone not only to take your own work back to studio, but to also help CLEAN UP Crown Hall.  This means put chairs back on the rack, clean up the food and garbage on the table and on the floors, make sure walls are clean and free of extra tape, model stands are returned back to original areas (each stand has a particular location).  I assured Mark Osorio that we would leave Crown Hall perfectly clean after we were done with reviews, so please help me make that happen. 

PRESENTATIONS

  • I hope your proposals all spark a great conversation to help in your future developments.? In order to have a productive conversation I would offer the following advice.
    • Prepare ahead of time what you intend to say and practice it a few times so you’re comfortable.  This will prevent you from rambling on and on or losing your train of thought.
    • Start with the Big Ideas.. then delve into details.  Don’t start in the middle of your design like walking them through the plan without giving your audience some overall goals/direction/concepts. 
    • Stick to your presentation time limits – the more you talk, the less feedback time.  You don’t want get cut off for talking too long. 
    • When you get feedback, these are ideas for you to consider.  Be accepting of the thoughts, not everything needs to be defended.  
  • Everyone is expected to stay for the full review and be attentive and wake!  Please limit your lingering at the food table.  Your attention to the review is a matter of RESPECT to your fellow peers and our invited guest reviewers. 

Looking forward to seeing some great ideas tomorrow!??

Alternative Printing Locations

JurassicLeave a comment

We all know how fickle our Printers and Plotters can be and with midterms coming up – I want us to be prepared for the worst.? So here are some alternate locations.? Please make sure you give yourself enough time to print, for printers to fail and to print somewhere else.? Last minute printing is not in your interest.? And we’re still abiding by our rules – if you are not ready with print and pinned up by 2pm, you do not present.

Phase 4 The Proposal

JurassicLeave a comment

Developing and Designing for Healthy Living // Iteration and Development

For the remainder of the Spring semester, our studios will be developing “mixed use” PROPOSALS that contain need based ( neighborhood research supported ) permanent dwellings combined with a social services component. Both components of your PROPOSALS must be supported by neighborhood research. We will continue to explore concepts of communal and intimate spaces by studying conditions of adjacency and spatial order. We will fold in contextual conditions from our site research to inform the relationships between exterior and interior. We will also study the community’s interaction with our spaces as we integrate our buildings into the fabric of the neighborhood.

In addition, we will focus on an approach that is shaped sectionally. In our first semester, the focus of aggregation was primarily focused on a planimetric approach – grouping and organizing across ground level or horizontally.  This semester, we will work with organizing, ordering and relating spaces vertically.  

To understand these different concepts of personal and communal is not a simple or singular process. The process is multi-facetted as we consider the social, organizational, formal, contextual, conditions of our project. Thus, our development will be based on a process of iteration. In other words, we will engage in a repetition of process.

Ultimately, the goal is that through multiple iterations which begin today, that your result will be a solid PROPOSAL exemplified by a well-developed and documented design.

4 A // Objectives:

  • To find creative approaches for permanent housing using supportive neighborhood research
  • To find creative approaches to communal and intimate space  
  • Study sectional qualities of aggregate living 
  • Understand context for the residential typology – physical and social – reciprocal effects
  • To understand multiple scales of living
  • To begin to understand hybrid programmatic conditions
  • Ensure the Model Shop is always left the way we found it prior to reviews.
