Teaching: Sketch Up Lesson

Thesis: Program: Models

Working model to help develop program adjacencies in the Boston Common.

Thesis: Diagrams: Models

Analysis on the study models I created using Photoshop filters.  The goal of this diagraming idea was to find edge conditions that I can use to derive form off of.  These edge conditions indicate where passage, form, and juxtaposition can occur.

Thesis: Model: Process: Streets

Progress of my 1"=100' site model of Boston's Freedom Trail.

I scored the sidewalks, and cut the streets out on the laser cutter.  Each of the 8 pieces took about 16 minutes to cut on the laser cutter.

Some pieces of the model. Each piece is 24x33.

More pieces before assembly.

Pinned up version of site and site analysis.  These photos were taken on my phone.  I will take better photos to show the detail of the model later.  I marked the sites on the Freedom Trail, T-Stations, and the specific sites on the Freedom Trail that I want to renovate.

Thesis: Site: Model: Process

 

Process of working on my conceptual sewn topography model.  The thicker red line indicates the Freedom Trail, the other colored threads represent the subway lines, and the black stitches represent the many intertwining streets of Boston.  The model is about 3 feet long by 1.5 feet wide.
