Discussion Starter

I apologise for not coming tomorrow and I know I can't participate in the discussion that we should be having about circulation and zoning.

So I'm sending a quick draft of what I've been thinking that we could do at least as a strategic move to liberate space for green areas. I think that by doing some tweeking in the road layout we could gain a fairly reasonable usable free space for green areas/open areas. Only problem being integrating the heavily trafficked Blackwall Tunnel with the Green Areas, by using sound buffers that can be buildings or not (each one is free to decide).

I hope this can somehow contribute to the discussion we will be having tomorrow... Feel free to call me. I'll reply when I can...

Regards,

Miguel

Pattern becoming

Spoke to Robert (tutor) last week and he mentioned it is over objectified as it has clear boundaries and not a sought after field quality. I have done field patterns before, but this time i seem to not find it so difficult as I seem to be more curious about the connections of buildings. For example in this very simple pattern made of blocks of parallel lines I am interested in the different gradients made out from the interconnection of volumes. With slight twists I manage to integrate the whole thing with lines that interconnect both clusters of blocks.

But I'd say i should quickly follow the tutors advice, but for now I am dedicated to not thinking too much and just doing. See if it goes anywhere...

Also I made a model from the pattern and i feel it will be judged as (bad?) fiddly...
