WEEK NINE: Clearing the Path

Image by Juj Winn

Now that you have reflected on the programming of The Social Station, it is time to begin formulating a conceptual framework to guide your design choices.  Use today's studio time to brainstorm the different approaches you can take.  This doesn't always come quickly, so allow yourself time to think---time to simmer.  Speak with your classmates to evaluate what works, what doesn't and begin pushing your best ideas forward.

On Tuesday, March 28, come to class prepared to give a client-worthy schematic design presentation.  Imagine, at this point, you are in practice for yourself, and this is your audition to get an account.  How far along should you be in your design development?  What images/materials will you present to convey your ideas?  What would lead me, your client, to choose your direction over that of a peer?  Your presentation must include, at a minimum, a concept statement and drawings/diagrams that provide clear insight into how it is an organizing force within the space.
