Week 6 - Creation of a Place

    This week in class we presented our created places for the first time. It was a day of realizing mistakes, where most of us discovered how many rules we broke and all of the things we could have done better. However, it was certainly a time of learning. Not only did I learn which constraints I failed to fulfill, but I learned a good amount about design. We did a great job of discussing how a place implies ideas, and really focused on the different axes of the building and the implied sense of flow.

    When it comes to my place in particular, I had a vision in mind, but realized afterwards that the idea did not work. I was picturing a theater, but due to the constraints, my design would not work. Also, as discussed in class, we should not be focusing on what the place is, but instead simply on the place itself. For the next presentation, I will certainly be making some changes.
