AN IDEA OF  HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM. THE BLACK LINE SURROUNDING THE BUILDING IS THE BICYCLE TRACK, I'M NOT SO SURE YET HOW I'M GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER TO GO WITH THE SITE. BUT I'M STILL WORKING ON IT.

A QUICK STUDY OF A WAVE AND ARM MOVEMENT 

     EXPLORING ANOTHER IDEA OF A HYBRID MODEL

   

      WITH THIS MODEL I DECIDED TO USED DIFFERENT MATERIALS,
      AND ALSO INCORPORATE THE IDEA OF THE ARM ON ONE SIDE.

HYBRID MODEL

THE TWO STUDY MODELS CHOSE TO CREATE HYBRID MODEL:

HYBRID

AFTER LOOKING AT THE TWO PREVIOUS STUDY MODELS, I CAME UP ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF FUSING THE SHAPE OF A WAVE (SHOWN IN THE FIRST STUDY MODEL)  BY COMBINING IT WITH THE SHAPE OF THE RAIL SHOWN IN THE SECOND MODEL. THE MATERIAL THAT REPRESENTS THE WAVES IS BEEN HELD BY WOOD STICK THAT SERVES AS THE PATH OF THE RAIL.

STUDY MODELS

IMPRESSION TO THE SITE

STUDY MODELS:

THIS MODEL IS INSPIRED BY THE DECK RAILS OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT IMAGE IN THE COLLAGE. THE STRINGS ATTACHED TO THE WIRE ARE REPRESENTING THE RAIL, AND THE SIMPLENESS OF THE MODEL SHOWS HOW LONELY THE SITE SEEMED. 

THIS MODEL IS CREATED BY A SPONGE AND A BOTTLE. BY PUTTING WATER TO THE SPONGE AND PUSHING DOWN IT SHOWS WATER FILLING THE BOTTLE, WHICH REPRESENTS THE RAINY DAY WHEN THE SITE WAS VISIT.

-----------------------------------------------------


CONNECTION 

STUDY MODELS:

MATERIALS USED: WIRE AND FOAM BALLS.
FROM LOOKING AT THE COLLAGE, I GOT THE IDEA OF REPRESENTING THE CONNECTION OF THE TREE AND AT THE SAME TIME TO SHOW SEQUENCE.
I TOOK THE WIRE AND BEND IT TO CREATE THE SHAPE OF AN ARC. I CUT THE TOP TO BE ABLE TO USE A FOAM BALL TO CONNECT THE TWO PIECES OF WIRE TOGETHER AND REPRESENT CONNECTION. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE OTHER FOAM BALLS ARE THERE TO REPRESENT SEQUENCE. IT SHOWS THE SEQUENCE OF A BALL GOING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER IN SLOW MOTION.

MATERIALS USED: BOTTLE CAPS AND SHOELACE.

THIS MODEL IS REPRESENTING THE SHOE SHOWN IN THE COLLAGE. I USED THE SHOELACE TO REPRESENT CONNECTION BY HAVING IT GO THROUGH THE BOTTLE CAPS.

MATERIALS USED: SHOELACE, WIRE, AND PLASTIC STICK.
THIS MODEL COMES FROM THE SPIREWEB SHOWN IN THE COLLAGE. THE WIRE REPRESENTS THE SILK AND THE SHOELACE TIES TO THE WIRE TO REPRESENT THE SPIREWEB AND AT THE SAME TIME REPRESENT THE  CONNECTION WITH THE TWO MATERIALS.

----------------------------------------------------

 PROGRAM

STUDY MODELS:

 MATERIALS USED: GUM, AND ALUMINUM PAPER.
IT REPRESENTS THE BIG WAVE SHOWN IN THE COLLAGE, AND THE SURFACE IS NOT ONLY SHOWING THE MOVEMENT OF THE WATER, BUT IT ALSO REPRESENTS "MOVEMENT"; THE MOVEMENT THAT  NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PLAY OR PARTICIPATE IN ALL THE ACTIVITIES OFFERED AT THE FACILITY CENTER.

 MATERIALS USED: A BALL AND DIFFERENT COLOR STRINGS.
THIS MODEL IS CREATED WITH THE IDEA OF REPRESENTING THE NETS THAT ARE GOING TO BE USED AND THE BALL REPRESENTS THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF SPORTS OFFERED.

I DECIDED TO SHOW "MOVEMENT" WITH THIS MODEL, BY CREATING LITTLE FIGURES AND TRYING TO SHOW THEM WALKING/RUNNING IN A TRACK.

COLLAGES

IMPRESSION OF THE SITE

         THE DAY WE WENT AS A GROUP TO GO VISIT THE SITE, IT WAS A VERY CLOUDY

AND RAINY DAY. STARTING WITH THE TOP LEFT IMAGE WHICH REPRESENTS THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WE  EXPERIENCED. CONTINUING WITH THE BOTTOM THREE PICTURES OF THE FEET, ICE CUBES, AND WET FOOT PRINTS ; THEY REPRESENT THE WALKING WE HAD TO DO  TO GET FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE, HOW COLD IT WAS AND HOW WET WE WERE DO TO THE RAIN. THE NEXT IMAGE I CHOOSE WAS THE MOUNTAIN AT THE TOP, WHICH SHOWS THE MATERIAL THAT MOST OF THE  BUILDINGS AROUND THE AREA ARE BUILD WITH (BROWNSTONE). THE TOP RIGHT IMAGE IS AN IMAGE OF A RAILROAD TRACK AND PAVEMENT, DESCRIBING HOW SOME OF THE STREETS LOOK LIKE. THE LAST IMAGE IS A REPRESENTATION OF HOW QUITE, CALM, AND SOLITARY THE AREA LOOKED.

 CONNECTION

         THE WORD "CONNECTION" IS BEEN REPRESENT IN THIS COLLAGE WITH DIFFERENT VARIETY OF IMAGES. THE FIRST TOP LEFT IMAGE SHOWS HOW THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SILK AND THE LINES CONNECTING ONE  ANOTHER TO  CREATE  A SPIDER WEB. THAN THE TOP RIGHT IMAGE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THE WAVELENGTH COLORS WE SEE AT SUNRISE MAKE A CONNECTION AT THE HORIZON TO BRING DAY LIGHT. CONTINUING WITH THE THIRD IMAGE, IT GIVES A SENSE OF CONNECTION IN HOW THE TREES ARE LINE UP MAKING THE BRANCHES CREATE AN ARC BY COMING TOGETHER AT THE TOP. WHEN I SAW THE IMAGE SHOWING THE LADY ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, IT GAVE ME AN IDEA OF "SEQUENCE", AND HOW THIS WORD IS RELATED TO CONNECTION. BY HAVING THE LADY START AT ONE POINT AND IN SLOW MOTION SHOWING THE CONNECTION THERE IS TO GET FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER.

PROGRAM 

         THIS COLLAGE SHOWS SOME OF THE PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE INCORPORATED TO THE SPORTS FACILITY  I WILL BE DEVELOPING. EACH IMAGE REPRESENTS ITS OWN ACTIVITY. HOWEVER, MY MAIN IDEA WAS TO TRY AND SHOW THE APPEARANCE OF MOVEMENT WITH EACH IMAGE. BY REPRESENTING MOVEMENTS IT SHOWS THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACTIVITIES GIVING AT THE SPORTS FACILITY, THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. FOR INSTANCE, MOVEMENT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE, WHETHER IT IS: EXERCISING, RUNNING,  SWIMMING,  PLAYING FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, ETC...

CRITERIA MATRIX

AFTER LISTING SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAMMATIC SPACES NEEDED TO DESIGN THE SPORTS FACILITY, I HAD TO CLASSIFIED EACH ONE OF THEM AND DECIDED WHAT SHOULD, MUST, OR WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE NEXT TO EACH OTHER. 

THE 19 MOST IMPORTANT SPACES I CHOSE WERE:

LOBBY                            STORAGE                             CARDIO ROOM
NURSE                            FITNESS ROOM                     CLASS STUDIO

RECEPTION                     SOCCER COURT                    SUN DECK

GYMNASIUM                    TENNIS COURT                     WORK-STATION

LOCKER ROOM                OFFICES                               CAFE

POOLS                            DAYCARE                             BATHROOM  

                                                                                LAUNDRY ROOM
