Studio Bloggin' 4: Neufert continued

The time has finally come when we can finally call our structure a "building." There is now a function and purpose to our structure which we have created after numerous weeks of conceptual planning and design. The function of my extracts will be for a public changing rooms, closets, storage, or dens. Last night most of us were up all night to finish four study prototypes. These prototypes will be combined in order to create a "landscape" of my small locker room spaces.

During the translation from small volumes to functional spaces, I deleted many surfaces and changed the layer of the surface to match the function of the building. The flexibility in Ezra's design process allows us to open the boundaries to our ideas. 

In terms of organization I will change the orientation of my prototypes by rotating the pocket spaces. This will create not only uniqueness to my program, but also a function so that other people will not be able to see the person changing.

When I present this during the final pin-up I will discuss vocabulary such as "program," "neufert," "landscape," and "pockets."

Studio Bloggin' 3: Volumes with Neuferts

This is as of Monday November 19^th.

My life has been incredibly busy recently with many due dates and heavy scheduling, but I am making up alright. We have finally departed from the surface segment of our curriculum and we are entering the world of volumes and space relative to people. We learned about a famous assistant of Walter Gropius, Neufert, who had published a classic research in architecture of the idealized sizes and form of objects and rooms or also known as “programs,” relative to the idealized human scale.

Our assignment was to place figures that we created from real life into the volumes which we have created in studio. For instance for me I chose to take the closet and bedroom as my program to place into my volume. I also had to incorporate Steve’s lecture hall into my volume. I chose to do closet and bedroom space because my friend and I are starting a fashion brand and I thought I could possibly learn from incorporating an apparel related idea. 

Neufert People

There was very little think involved in the past few weeks assignment, partially because we haven’t technically created anything new since midterms, but also because we have been figuring out how to layout and present the Rhino volumes onto paper. If I could change anything, I would simplify the volumes in order for that the volumes can fit the size of a human exactly at its maximum capacity.
