tectonics of steel facade and details (exterior and interior)
the envelope and its relationship to light
task01 - morning session:
edit photos taken during the Brussels 2 trip.
choice of photos is critical; choose only photos pertaining to the major places listed above.
chose photos that are significantly different from other teams; duplicate or near-duplicate photos will be summarily rejected.
each team creates two image plates (both containing facade and tectonic details)
each plate contains five frames (in similar format to previous exercises).
continue work on the word.doc table.
task02 - afternoon session:
each team creates a subtractive collage of the two image plates
apply previous criticisms: be selective in the choice of erasures; do not be obvious, literal, simplistic, cautious, safe or retain strict symmetry; the overall compositions should exude dynamism and a sense of tectonic, constructive spirit.
continue work on the word.doc table.
