Making progress on the Hub design

Good morning!

I feel much better after the crits yesterday after the awards ceremony. You may not think so, but you are making progress. We are deliberately taking it slow to make sure that you FULLY UNDERSTAND the process. e FI

You MUST stick to the selected function of your group. You MUST also stick to the ARCHITECTURAL IDEA formulated as a group. This idea will be formulated in WORDS and a rough 3D model.

Then make sure to RESPOND (in your decision-making) to all the relevant lessons learnt from the FUNCTION (analysis and precedent) and TECHNOLOGY (analysis and precedent). So you must JUSTIFY every decision.

• Think about the SPACE-DEFINING elements (refer Righini p 143)
• Think how the user will EXPERIENCE the space(s)
• Think about how you are OPTIMALLY UTILISING the PROPERTIES and QUALITIES of the prescribed MATERIALS
• Think about the CONNECTIONS/ JUNCTIONS between different components

Do all of the above while ALWAYS REFERRING BACK TO YOUR ARCHITECTURAL IDEA (PRINCIPLE). This means that, in your group you will be using the same architectural idea, but your designs will most probably develop differently, and may look quite different from your group idea model.

Good luck!
