ARCHITECTURE project

so, here`ss the thing:
I am working on my master`s thesis in architecture, this
project is a part of it, i gave this big lecture on it last
wednesday and got the highest grade anyone`s ever got on my
school (that sounds like i`m full of myself, but i want to
grab your attention and hear some opinions from you folks).

the project was mainly to challenge the whole idea of what`s
private and what`s public by means of a programmatic park
located on a realtively poor area. This is, a hybrid park
that in time could become a surface that could contain a
series of Programs (institutes, schools, clinics, hospitals,
restaurants and stores) and dialogue with other outdoor
activities such as skateparks, wall climbing, bmx dirt
parks, public pools, children games, jogging, etc.

here are some images of it, separated in 4 groups:
01-04 general topography of the park
general 01-07 5 year views
contours 1-18 that form fragment A
fragment A 01-04
diagrams01-02evolution + masterplan

sorry if it is very sloppy, if you peepz don`t feel like
looking at all the pics, please give me some comments on the
ones catalogued as FRAGMENT A 01-04

thanx.
pics here

if it snows, followed by rain, those overhangs are gonna
have a hell of a time supporting the weight.

i guess i don't really get it but i'm a genetic scientist,
not an architect. the pictures are cool looking though.

and i think that its great that a place can be versatile
enough to accomodate a guy on a huge unicycle.

ahahahhah the overhangs, the structural plans are not
included on these images, but they can support a lot of
weight.

i only got two choices_

a).-this thread is awfully boring and i my project is a
waste of your time.

b).-you all (except for evolume) are a bunch of
un_interested boring bastards with no opinion.

cool stuff!
the ground of the public park bends, and becomes walls and
roofs for the private sections, right? blurring the line
between public/private? really nice, and neat pics too.

is the building in general06 an earlier project?

you got it webmaster. that`s the whole point. i`ve been
working on bending surfaces for quite a while now. the
building on general06 is indeed an older project, not mine
tho, but it was useful to ilustrate how habitational
complexes could become active on site.

thanx for the comments, coming from an architect such as
yerself.

;D

Hey childkiller that looks really interesting. I wish I'd
done architecture instead of computer science. Talking of
which, do you have any pointers or links which might be of
use to a computer science MSc in virtual environments
seeking employment in an architecture related field? Thanks

Yeah, it seems interesting. Really nice stuff.
I like the building in general 06 (even if you didn´t do
it). What programs does it hold? Is it strictly living
space?

Is it to be seen as one big project or as a masterplan for a
series of smaller ones?
Would there be lots that you could buy?
If it´s one big project would this be a project initiated
by the city or by private investors?
Are you blurring the line between private and public in a
juridical sence as well or is it limited to a spacial
blurring? (If the buildings are private the rooftops would
probably be private too and then the owner could put up a
giant electric fence keeping the public from walking on his
roof top. Unless you make restrictions as to what the
private investor is allowed (which is the reality in most
projects). Have you made restrictions like that?)
Are the structures an illustration of what things could
look like or are they to be seen as a completed proposal?
(what I´m getting at is: Would there be one architect (you)
drawing/deciding everything or would you draw the masterplan
(deciding what should be where, where the roads should go,
how big the lots should be etc) and leave the details to
others?)
It looks really good and interesting, I´m just curious
about the deeper layers of your plan since I´ve been
working on similar issues myself.

Cheers.

thanx for all the insights peepz.

tonyfish_sorry, don`t know of any links.
clone_ calatrava is an awesome architect

zetre_ the idea was to be able to generate a
multi-purpose-hybrid topography. i came up with several
stages of development, as well as a series of rules that
controlled the use of the public space by this programmes.
The blurring of the line between private and public is
mainly spacial, but for instance, private investors could
not use fences, only by means of bending, folding or cutting
the surface or trees and vegetation, they could create more
intimate spaces within a total that is completely open and
that hold it`s park condition. The city would finance the
masterplan (one architect and landscape artist), then it
would be sold in stages with specific sites for each
possible programme, then private architects would design
each programme paying attention to the general rules of
development. As the masterplan architect, i decide the
general uses of the park, circuits, topography, vegetation,
traffic roads that dialogue with the park, ilumination and
the distribution of private sectors to be bought by private
investors.

i hope i answered some of your questions, if you want some
more specific info or the written essay just e-mail me.

cheers

hi childkiller

the project looks great!

I am also very interested in bended surfaces and hibrid
spaces... watching the pic isnt a surprise that you got the
best grade, congratulations, I am sure you will be a great
architect, well really you already are.

todo en elproyecto es atractivo, la riqueza programatica,
las secciones, las vistas y el como esta insertado en el
tejido urbano

es ademas de aspecto muy sugerente

hmm, this thread is nice. i will probably post a project
here this fall, when i'm in the process. it seems like a
good idea to get opinions from people outside the studio
once in a while(not classmates, teachers), to get a little
perspective on things

it is a good place to get interesting ideas, in fact, mr
tenzin pointed something out the very first time i posted my
project, and his insights (amongst many others) helped me
re-shape and re-think some things about the project.
Sometimes comon sense and non-architectural opinions are the
ones that point out the basic mistakes or misguided ideas in
a project.

e-mail me when you do so Gonzola, btw, it is nice to realize
that more members other then nacho and me are architects.
