Interim Review: 26th March 10

Project Memory

Project Development

General Feedback:
- more rigourous plans - stacked servicing spaces, vertical circulation
- too many entrances
- servicing lane might not be successful
- rectangular studios than square
- need more structural concern

Recommendations:
- Start modelling
- Consider structure based on historical examples
- Refinement on spaces
- Styling of building based on research

Model Making - Week 6

Model making has never been my strong point but an architecture student has to do what he has to do (or asked to do). Completed in total 12 hours including hours of figuring out the drawings which was a nightmare.

Building: Palais de Dance
Built: 1922
Demolished:1970s. Replaced by The Plaza.
Site: Intersection between Eglinton, Victoria, and Pollokshaws St.
Scale: 1:100
