Hi again...sorry if the last comment sounded prescriptive...should have reviewed prior to publishing! lol These show some development...the cantilevered space beneath is visually seductive but will need some serious structural work...I think the bottom two plates would have to be one huge integrated truss to sustain the overhang...and that would be difficult given the open cut through the center...perhaps it is the distorted views but unless this building is sited in space, gravity is not going to cooperate...so I would encourage you to use your 'distortion theme if considering any alternative structural elements while maintaining some degree of cantilever. The plate setbacks in view 1 are interesting and work well, view 2 and 3 indicate the plates need some 'skewing' to be on par with the rest of the building...they come off quite conventional given the balance of the conceptual work...this sometimes happens when the initial conceptual gesture is so strong...but when it is, all the more reason to address the rest of the building with the same degree of finesse...or it is just a gesture. Consider what would happen if in reality (defined with horizontal limits required by the program) you gashed through the plates...they would pull in or skew (distortion being your word) at the edges...consider this being done somehow at the edge/perimeter. The 'grand staircase' should also be addressed with the same scheme...is it in resistance to the blade, a remnant of the cut, the blade...is it heavier at the hilt, sharper at the tip...take the concept to all the primary structural elements, particularly in the central core or celebrated spaces. ...again...a lot of comments at once so sorry...the real world has been very demanding of late...but I have been checking out the posts previous to these last ones as they came in...nice progression of the project to date. Some recommendations for whats yet to come...consider your means of presentation for these drawing from here on in...use a medium that represents the concept for conceptual presentation...taking the blade scenario into account. This last comment for today is jumping ahead likely but start considering how to use computational/modeling tools to produce the work then use your hand or a graphic program to instill the sense of your concept not just for presentation but for your final reworking of your project...this is really helpful in determining just how far to 'take' the concept into the actual development of the programming and structural requirements established by your professors. Enjoy!
I am excited to see the piercing of the stair through this cut opening in the center blade portion of your project. Remember the dynamic cutting stairs that we looked at in class - also would love to have you start thinking about materials. - the center portion need to be sharp and highlighted. More please.....
