WOOD hand in

general comments for all
pin up construction hand in with design hand in
site plan 1:500 with larger context
ground floor plan 1: 50 with immediate context (site)
no foundating in sections for design
doors open into a room (not into the corridor)
a staircase has a landing in front of an entry -
you do not stand on the last tread to fumble with your keys to open the door
staircases are shared spaces of circulation -
give people space to arrive (where the staircase starts and ends)
do not use the same viewpoint for the axo and the perspective
- axo is great for overall structure (outside)
- perspective is good for inside/ outside connection or inside space
- photocollage shows atomsphere, life and energy
label drawings, name, scale, orientation
rotate the site, keep plans parallel to page
give your drawings enough space
make beautiful drawings not tick off duty drawings

your 1: 50 model needs time and care: it should be well made and detailed
mangage your time, do most important things first: plan section elevation
then model 1: 50, then 3d
model 1:100/ 200 is concept model/ process model
it does not need to be re-build

text is about your idea and spatial development, describe your project

the wall

20 May



The wall must be the most banal element in architecture: a line on a plan. Architects draw them all the time. Making every wall demands deliberation and intelligence. If you have to make a wall, make it perfect. IT’S THE WALL BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY.


After thesis, I know I will never draw a line on a plan the way I did before.
