Display Program

Your finished working model is due on Wednesday. We need to now focus on how we are fitting program into your building concept. How does your concept relate to the notion of display? The systems found in the shirt and then the operative model have now been transferred to this working/concept model of the JKC. We need to stay close to our concepts when defining the spatial and programmatic conceptions of display but first we need to remember our context.

We have a site which is our ever so faithful JKC but now we need to site it. Siting consists of analyzing and diagramming the external conditions of the site and how the built world interacts with it as well. Your working model is flexible to respond to these conditions. How can you use this model to relate to the streets Main and K, how can you manipulate your concept and working models to control the sun at the site, the wind, the shadows, ect., ect.

An initial set of site plans and or diagrams are due at the beginning of class on Monday. I talked to most of you about how to simply start to incorporate this into your exploded isos and or current diagrams. So do what we reviewed on Monday and I will see you bright and early on Wednesday.
