So after staring at my painting for the majority of class yesterday, wondering why I'm still majoring in architecture.. I finally have some sense of direction. My site model is almost finished and I know where my building is going and I have an idea of the floor plan.
The building I chose to take hints from is Le Corbusier's Sarabhai House. This house uses sets of parallel barrel vaults, making a very linear floor plan. It is very open and was made to look like you could enter without needing permission. One fun element is a toboggan slide going from the green roof to an in-ground pool.
Currently, my building will be underground, something I forgot you could do (clearly I forgot "cave, hut, tree" from freshman year), and the floor plan will take up lines found in the painting.
So, we'll see how/where this goes...
good thing that you remembered the cave + ground thing... i wasn't able to look carefully at your model (after you took it off of the base... it seemed like an interesting move to have the parallel planes as walls...) although, once i saw that piece (the removable one) i started thinking that the base lacked its complexity (or, at least, a matching complexity)...
