Intensive Wrap-Up

Conceptual Drawings

















Different possibilities of the front facade. I
chose the bottom left because of the horizontal
mass in relation to the Boston Public Library.








Conceptual thought of relationship between
the New Old Church and the Boston
Public Library to the site.




Design a store for people to experience the inventory, not just come in, talk with a sales rep, and leave (if the person purchased something). This design would allow customers freely walk around the store sampling the merchandise. The relaxed, casual environment is intended to retain customers and have positive experiences for a returned visit.



The second floor recesses to give a dominating horizontal look, much like the Public Library.


















The casual environment will allow customers to use products in a non pressured, relaxed, open environment. This environment will allow prolonged use of products. Constant views of the public Library, the New Old Church, and Copley Square will remind customers of their specific location.



I wanted to concentrate on the upper level of the library.

Stacey,

Your entry was hard to read: you don't have an introduction and the fonts are all different sizes. Differentiate between the key drawings (you may want to crop some of the images out) and the less important images.

Please reorganise in order to clearer present your ideas to external critics and to yourself.

How is the model coming?

Stacey, I noticed that by the final review you had identified a theme and a direction that you wanted to go. That's the toughest part to get through. I'm interested to see where your studies will take you. I think incorporating interior views looking out is a way of approaching this project that many of us didn't think about.

Views are just as important inward as they are outward. It is easier for the viewer to experience the space if I draw a view they could actually be looking at. But, what I did neglected for the review was how people interacted inside and outside the space. It was unoccupied and lifeless and I need to bring the passion back. Thanks for your comments.
