Thank you all for intensive, attentive and inspiring review(s) on Friday. It was a delight to experience the many 1:50 scale models, especially the ones that had architectural presence and showed dedicated skills in manufacturing. View pictures from the review and the day before on dropbox link HERE.
Mentionable: some had extended / re-worked their maps of Dale in good and thought-provoking ways, enabling newer readings, opening the understanding(s) of urban form(s) to more oblique introspections. Some had worked with capturing the essence of the model(s) via photographs and gifs that gave new insights.
REFERENCES :
During the reviews, various references where mentioned. Regarding the understanding of simplified (pure) geometric forms, Bruno Munari's seminal work on square, triangle and circle is always a fine inspiration. Downloadable for study purposes as follows (click on links): Square, Triangle, Circle. Regarding other complexities and contradictions in architecture (sic), consult/download Robert Venturi's book here. (Read pages118-120 regarding simplified complexity in a simple building)
WORK
for all on Monday/Tuesday:
A) Upload all your latest booklets on ISSUU, send links to HS and TW for linkage on blog.
B) For the participants who did not make 1:50 models of Dale buildings (or near Dale), please do so, asap.; For those of you who would like to re-do some of their models with more care, you are most welcome. (maximum to Tuesday evening). All others: capture the essence of your models in various photographs and/or animated gifs, makes separate booklet with photos, including mappings, for understanding the model's contexts in Dale.
More specific feed-back for each participant regarding project/process development will be given after Tuesday, with also with more specifics regarding analogue/digital proceedings.
Most of your project's themes are, btw, actually, already quite "visible"… please reflect on that (even if it might seem blurry, yet…) you might want to collect references (build, undbuild, other)… (you thought you where just doing exercises, until now :-) ?)
