A fertile ground has been found and undergoes a deep site analysis revealing both rhizomatic and hierarchical qualities. Cellular formations and infrastructural networks are tested for their integrity and stability as well as for their deviations, dislocations and for their enclosures. Potential points of intervention are identified; internal growth is exaggerated and manipulated externally. Monstrosities emerge from the meshwork and become objects of architectural speculation. Programmatic demands start to guide the speculation ..Assignment Ten
Document and thoroughly analyze the site. In your analysis consider both intensive and extensive properties of the ground, testing points as well as assemblies.
- Photo Documentation: Capture your basswood site from bottom and top. Move the light sources and define 3 corresponding positions for both sides, casting distinctly different shadows across the field. Examine how specific tectonic and spatial properties are amplified by the projected shadows, how patterns solidify and open up. Print out a series of 6 high contrast images (b/w) in 1/2 model scale, 9x12.
- Axonometric Analysis: Generate a 30/60 axon based on the recent plan and sections of your site. Draw visible and hidden lines; establish hierarchies of material thickness; inscribe infrastructural systems and cellular formations. Use line weight –type to distinguish layers of information within the drawing, as well as hierarchies within the construction lines, pencil on vellum 18 x 24
