Interim Crit No.2 on Monday 25.9.06

This is to vary the arrangement I posted on 17/9/06. All pinup must be up by the revised time of 1300hr. After a short viewing by all, I will then proceed to do the general crit and group discussion.

But my studio time for that day will be from 1100hr to 1500hr. PLEASE NOTE.

Therefore I would like the Wednesday 3DsMmax group to try to pin up by 1100hr, or as soon as possible from that time to 1300hr. I will give individual crits to those who have pinned up as soon as they have pinned up. This will save us time.

The Monday 3DsMax group will get their individual crits after the General Crit with whatever time remaining till 1500hr. We will continue on Wednesday if we don't cover everybody by 1500hr.

As for the deliverables (what you will show) on Monday's pinup... The important thing is to have given serious thought to how you have arranged the different spaces that go to make up this composition of space that becomes the kindergarten---a place that really works well for the kids in which to play, learn, explore; the directoresses to guide, supervise and prepare; visitors to observe without intruding, to wait comfortably and be channeled through the building. The spaces have their own characters and should relate to each other according to a heirarchy of need---"Must relate", or "may relate", or "no need to relate".

And just as important is how your spaces relate to the character of the site and it's surroundings. Remember your building is in Malaysia, not Japan or Germany or New Zealand...or...

Floor plans, roof plans, sections and models with the site shown are essential tools to explain your scheme. They don't have to be perfect but they must show your thinking effectively. Elevations are not absolutely necessary.
