WOOD LAYOUT

Second attempt on this page layout, some improvement yet not good enough. Produced with Photoshop, next step InDesign. Need to work on texts, background image, layout, and delete border markers....or possibly think of a better way to integrate them into the page theme.

So now that we heard all the fonts we should not use, which others are you all thinking of risking yourself with??

Project One
Analysis of Structural Precedents:
Students work in groups of two on researching precedents of various structural building materials and
present them in two posters 24”x24”. At the time of presentation they are also required to show their
findings as a web page.

Possible Building Types:
Sports Arenas, Lecture Halls, Tent Structures, Air Ports, Markets, Light Weight Train Stations, Ferry Terminals, Bridges.

Learning Objectives:
Researching and Analyzing Structural Precedents, Working in and as a Team, Detailing of the structure.
The focus of the research will be in the use of the material in spanning applications. Groups will be
assigned one of the following materials.

Research MATERIALS:
01. Concrete
02. Masonry
03. Pneumatic
04. Steel
05. Tensile
06. Wood

First Task:
Collect general research about the designated material and present it in multiple 11 x 17 pages at the
beginning of Digital Media Class on Tuesday, August 26th.


Pinups:
Each student will pinup their developing work on their designated wall. This leads to an open dialogue and
exchange of ideas.

Portfolio:
Each student will continually develop a printed portfolio over the course of the semester. The portfolio will be a visual record our your process and development from the first day of class till the last. This document will contain sketches, photos, plans, sections, details, exploded axo’s, diagrams, maps, flow charts, models,
text, ideas, thoughts, axo’s, iso’s, collages, sequences, storyboards, animations, research, connections, links...

In Class Reviews:
It will be required that each student participate in the informal studio reviews which will occur periodically. It is imperative to practice articulating your thoughts about architecture and design. This is not only beneficial for you as a speaker, but also for your peers who will gain extra insights, ideas and feedback through your
comments.
