Preliminary Sketches

The Design Process

Defining Spaces

Finally, I get a minute to blog. Here are my initially SPACE PLANNING ideas generated from taking angles and forms present thru out the design of the rest of the building. Travis suggested that I should not give myself boundaries and use other points to bring in walls and spaces to the Architecture Floor Plates.

Changing the Concept Around

There were many moments when I did not know how to use the "transmetamorph" concept and apply it t0 our design. So I tried to look for other meanings of the word and this only lead me to looking up the words that caused chaos in our design. Noise (from the atrium to the studios and auditorium) , Disturbance (all the open areas where birds, ohhh those birds, could fly thru), Clutter (all areas one against another with little or no barriers) (or all type of people coming into the building not knowing where to go...therefore causing a traffic jam and cluttering the floor) etc...... 

Guiding Me in the right Direction

Before I knew I was going to be focusing on the studio part of the project I was looking at images of innovative ways to display signage and way-finding material. Some of those ideas transfered over to the studio design additionally to some ideas I got from looking at different ways to create open and exciting areas for a studio environment.
