Week 4 General Advice

1) Clarity and consistency in your architectural expression is the key. If you run with something then make it to home base. See comparison below:

 insetad of 1) Arbitary and Haphazard mix of random Euclidian forms...

...why not, Haphazard but consistent forms married in a deliberate way (Denver Art Museum: Eisenman).

intead of, Elements which take away from one of your main language (horizontal slats)...

...why not, Elements which reinforces, complements to the whole composition, or elements which do not detract from it (Dionisio González).

2) Shapes vs Architectural Spaces. Are you drawing geometries and shells or are you articulating different parts which make up architectural spaces/buildings (Surfaces? Edges? Details?)

vs.

openings, treatment of edges, space in-betweens. (Interlace, OMA)

3) Stop the process of addition and fragmentation in design (the way which you design one part before you move on to the next), and design holistically. Start on a new model if you need to move out of a mental block.
