Building Selection

Dr. Bozorgi held a meeting during class to have a class evaluation. We graded our fellow students on their performance during the construction of the model. Each student also ranked 3 buildings that they would most like to design, on a separate sheet. This is how we will be able to decide who will design each of the twenty-one buildings. On Wednesday each master planning team will present 3 different schemes for our site. It is nice to begin the design phase of this project.

Planning Approach

List of potential required buildings on the site. The parking Garages may be removed from the list, however the majority of the buildings on said list will be designed. Each student in the studio will pick one structure from the list and combine all 21 on the given site.

Model close to finished

The final pieces of the model are done, and now we are moving to the masterplanning phase of the project. Our studio was split up into three teams for designing the master plan for the site, and from those three, a singular final master plan will be created.

The class is beginning to run more like a machine. The first portions of the main maidan (courtyard) were set into place. The last two of the base modules were also finished being glued and were set into place. The model should be done after the weekend. It will mean alot to us all when it is finally assembled.

Model coming to Fruition

Tony is leading a well coordinated effort for the completion of the group work on the base model. Everyone is staying busy. We should finish all but the main Maidan/Bazaar areas by the end of the week. It is exciting to see our work coming together in this huge model. Soon we will be finished with this model of the existing conditions and we will be able to work within our groups on the conceptual master planning of the site. Dr Bozorgi thanked us for our hard work.
