For the past few weeks I have been working on analyzing five of my precedents. I reduced each building to its bare essentials, and used
diagrams to convey information and relationships. Now it is time to put those findings all together:
Montjuic Cable Car Station, Spain
Bus Terminal, Baeza
West End Ferry Terminal, Brisbane
Bus Station in Osijek
Central Station, Rotherham

Good diagrams. I would like to know what you learned/found from the studies however. Did the colored polygons over windows teach you about their placement with relation to the users of the space? What does that daylighting look like as a study in plan? how far does the natural light reach into the space. It's difficult to know this through arrows. I don't mean to be difficult, you've got a nice clean presentation, but write down your findings, question what you're looking at and force yourself to get at the heart of why the designers did what they did, considering the codes, and codes aside, both. Just a note, in terms of the idea of 'massing' think of the volumes as mass, rather than the facades. THe mass IS the space, it is dictated (how much or how little) by the flow of the circulation. These issues you've diagramed are principle in designing architectural works and planning spaces within a context. The cool shapes and materials come later. Find meaning in what you don't see there. Nice work. acg
