Review the PDF showing a series of architectural plans  and select one each to use as a precedent for your school.  Choose a section line (a cross section or long section) and rotate the plan through 90 degrees to create a section.  Create a 3 dimensional model of the school in SketchUp following the plan and section designed above. Chosen plan: Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier.   Choose a section line (a cross section or long section) and rotate the plan through 90 degrees to create a section. 3 dimensional model in SketchUp:

EXP 2 • Week 3 • Independent Study • Rendered Light Rail Stop • Final Submission

Image
1) Apply a light, a medium and a dark texture to particularly significant surfaces within your Light Rail Stop. 2) Continue to develop the Light Rail Stop, its siting and detail elements through to final resolution. 3D Model 1 First model developed from the concepts into a light rail stop for the pre-submission. With the need for a more monumental approach, given the reference architects Benedetta Tagliabue and Oscar Niemeyer, the model has been developed not only into a light rail stop, but also as living space and architectural icon . From the first model to the current one, it was added lounge rooms, balconies, stairs, elevators, and an above ground corridor responding to the stop's opposite side. All without losing purspose of use and of concept. The new model still maintains the initial concepts - which were negative cut-out spaces and sensibility to context and site. The niches on the sitting areas as well as on the green wall on the
