WEEK TEN
Drawing Continuous Variation (2)
In class discussion: Site-Structure relation and Programmatic Arrival. In class reading: 'Body Matters' (excerpt).
Generative drawing one: Based on the training routine you put together, identify body positions for individual exercises. Performing specific activities, how does the body experience space? Is your routine designed to build endurance, strength or speed; how does that affect the experience? Map the procedural character of the routine as well as the individual moments of perception.
Privileged Wordset: Develop a matrix of terms that relates the Exercise (noun) of your routine and its Activity (verb) to a Spatial quality (adj.) Example:
warm-up / to crouch / compressed
warm-up / to stretch / expansive
warm-up / to jump rope / continuous
sparring / to jab / measured
sparring / to swerve / dented
sparring / to duck / depressed
Generative drawing two: Based on the site model you built, Identify three spatial moments in your site that show potential for body space relation of respective exercises (above). This drawing is derived from your landscape. In 1/4" = 1'-0" plan and section (pencil) draw explicit and implicit spaces and overlay them with possible optimized/exaggerated version for routine parts.
