E wall--REVISED

In progress 2/09

Notes on prototyping

Visualism

Visualizing vs. understanding

The way lenses fool you

Spatial prototypes (e.g., kitchen)

Paper occlusion prototypes (windows, walls)

In situ prototypes (features & details)

Public space examples

Private space examples

Paste on prototypes

Blocks & models

Computer (e.g., Sketchup)

Bamboo/kraft paper

Knowing and understanding vs. predicting and controlling

Experience

Designing outside in vs inside out

Phase 2 prototypes

Testing to see if I didn't mind having west side closed off.


Testing soffit idea (unused).

Phase 1 entry/fireplace

Original entry and fireplace. This is on the opposite side of the 'library.'




I sent this to Mark to explain how a wall and additional storage was needed to create an entry/better living room space.


Model tests and paper prototype to test wall position and fireplace occlusion.



Almost done, primered.


Goals:
>Create more functional entry using wasted space
>Optically 'move' fireplace into living room & make fireplace smaller
>Create better living room space via defining wall
>Create library space
>Create coat closet and move linen closet
