Day 08: Desk critiques

The focus of the student work continues to be on the urban scale in order to clarify the broad intention of intervening in the site. In addition we are talking about the structural and formal idea that relates to this site intervention. The emphasis in the desk critiques has been to continually reference the development of the project to the site conditions. The work continues through models and sketches, though the emphasis is on more precise drawings at a larger scale, particularly in section. Through working carefully in the site at increasing levels of detail, the hope is that the projects gain a specificity that pertains to this specific site. On the issue of structure, the discussion has been around responsive rather than standardized forms of structure.
