Final Door based Moment

This is my final moment progression print. I like that you can see where I started, how it evolved, and then the final product. I really like where it all ended up.



This is my render sequence. I wanted to depict the path of a person as they walked up to the structure, entered the new modern part, transitioned into the old part, went up a floor, went back into the new part, and then discovered the view. I like that is shows that the structure requires you to transition back and forth between the old and the new while still somewhat incorporating nature.

door based model continued

So, I've taken the final moment I made based on the movement of doors and made a function space with it and attached it to the large barn of the site we are using. This is the same barn I took the study of doors from, that's the reason I chose this barn. I'm working on turning the moment into a space that can be split up into the three required programs: relax (gathering space), revive (summer/community kitchen), and refresh (hygienic core).

These are my beginning ideas on how to integrate my moment object and the building I took everything from. It's a little bit like a modern transitional space. I want to make it so that no matter what you are doing you have to move from nature to modern space to old barn to modern to old barn to nature to etc. I think it will make you think about the transitions of time and volume and nature. (at least I hope so)

In this diagram I start to show how I would split the building into different programs. This is technically a literal floor plate for the building, so not so diagram-ish, but it gets the point across. The dark blue is hygeinic core. The light blue is the kitchen. The green is the gathering space. and the purple is really something that could go any way.
This is where I am right now. I've started to refine everything (except for materials) and I've added in the site. I'm really working on structure on and function coordinating with idea. It's a little tougher than I thought it would be, but it's working out okay.
