A Memorial to the Death of Play, in Nature

For this project, we were asked to design a space that memorialized the life and death of play. Also, the purpose of this design was to work on the space and integrate on into the land. So, for this design the way I created the memorial of life and death of play I chose an interesting spot on the site of Glendinning Rock Garden. On the site, there was a lot of nature and I found it interesting, so I integrated a structure in the middle of the site that was interesting. The structure possesses a reflective quality, allowing observers the natural surroundings. This feature is intended to evoke nostalgic recollections of engaging in outdoor activities, allowing the mind to wander freely and envision various possibilities within the site.

PROCESS

First, we visited Glennding Rock Garden to see what the site looked like, and from there I chose the best-fitting site I thought looked good. I believe this was the best spot because of how nature would surround my structure and how people would interact with it too.

Juxtaposition; Ascension + Threshold

For this project, we were tasked with crafting a design that would involve navigating the incline from the ground to the top of the cliff. This presented a challenge to navigate through various terrain features such as elevation, rocks, and circulation pathways. The location of the site was the Glendinning Rock Garden. So, for this, I designed a running trail for everyone around the location so they can see the nature surrounding the park.

Firmitas: Beacon / Beckon

For this project, we were tasked with designing a structure that would beckon or beacon you to the site of Glendinning Rock Garden. So for this project, I designed a space that would beckon you to the park and offer a view out to the city and overlook the park.

For this project we had to design a space that would offer peace to the area around Glennding Rock Graden. We, had to design around an Altar for Peace designed by George Nakashima. So, what I design was a place where people learn how to cook and share the food they learned to cook and also, there you can talk about their problem and people can help them solve their problem.

PROCESS

This week in design we move on to making plans from our unrolled section. To get a better understanding of how the spaces work and if there is enough space for the specific furniture needed to occupy these spaces. What did was the plan and where wanted those spaces to be. Then from there, focused on the kitchen floor plan the first go I thought there was going to be enough space but I was wrong so I made it larger, but the first plan left what I wanted to design. So, then talked to the professor and he told me to follow my initial plan so that is what the second plan shows, but there are still some things to fix and also enjoy that one more. That is what we were working on this week. The learning outcome for me this week was PC.2 because of the plans I made and it helped me understand the spaces of my kitchen with furniture.

GOAL: For next class -Have at least 1 complete unrolled

UNROLLED SECTIONS

This week in design we showed other people are work we have been doing so people can get help from our design, also we saw other work so we could borrow their ideas. I, also learned that if annotated in Spanish it was easier for me to explain my work to others and it helped me design my ideas. So from now onward, I’m going to work on using Spanish to help me design my work. We also had to design a rolling section with architectural features and that is what you can see. First looked at the dimensions of stuff

DIAGRAMING

This week in design we went over everybody’s final board and talked about what worked and what didn’t work and I took notes on that so my board would look better and also do what wanted them to do. I also took notes on what didn’t work on my board and what did. I learned also that my board didn’t work the way wanted. was missing context on them. also learned that architectural drawing would be of help big time. Also this week learned more about diagramming and how they help design my ideas and how they can also help me get my ideas across. will always diagram my ideas to help me create what I want to design.

Goals: Diagram Finish my site model Scheme through Francis Ching book

Plan: Diagram more workm on the model site drawing things from Ching book

made a bubble diagram then made an architectural section. This learning objective is PC.7 because can better share my design with others because of the way annotated my design want to thank you Prof. Bracy for pushing me to become better. GOALS: sketchy plans unrolled sections material use PLAN: Make 2 sketchy Plans Make 2 un rolled sections Think of matrials to use DIMESSION OF STUFF UNROLLED SECTION UNROLLED SECTION REVISE RICARDO SANCHEZ Design Dialogue 3/29/24 Process This week in design we were introduced to unrolled sections. These unrolled sections can help us understand how big the spaces are and how one moves around the spaces. We can also know what type of material we use by the way we draw thickness. The learning outcome and objectives are PC.2. The reason it is this is because I’ve learned something that would bene my design process in the future. Also, the bubble diagrams help me design a plan while letting me be free with the space. also show how much one design can be iterated and have a diﬀerent outcome.

we had our 2nd crit of the semester. enjoyed what we did because we had someone else present our projects and what I learned from that is if the person who is presenting my project doesn’t understand then the rest of the people wouldn’t understand what I’m trying to show. This also falls on these two learning outcomes in PC.8 and PC.7. First PC.7 I’m learning if people understand my project and if they don’t have to be more descriptive and be able to understand what works and what doesn’t work. Also how PC.8 asked Sean, Gosha, and Hunter to critique my first board, and their skills and knowledge in design helped me understand what did work and what didn’t and also what was missing because believe that someone else should see and understand if my board is doing its job. I also ad a hard time understanding Kimberly intent and what was going on too.

Goals: Have 6 models by Tuesday diagram the models

Plan: work on the models diagarm the model making

21 This week in design we talked about our precedents. MY precedent is the Tower Of Babel. They were trying to build to the heaves and then they failed, but most importantly learned that they designed a Beacon/Beckon. They attract you by building a big tower which you can see around the city. So what I’m trying to design is a tower that can show a view of the city. I believe this is PC.2 because with the study of the precedent try to design a structure with some similar intent to the Tower Of Babel. I also diagramed my model to understand a little more of what I’m trying to design. GOAL: Have a site plan for Tuesday Have 2 sections for Tuesday Have 3 Diagrams for Tuesday Plan: work on site map Draw to section cuts Diagram to help understand my design Digram of model RICARDO SANCHEZ Design Dialogue 2/23/24 Process My precendent (Tower Of Babel) BECKON DIAGRAMS This week in design we presented our project 3 of the tower. know I did way better than the previous project we did and I’m proud of myself, but the only thing that I really need to work on is explaining my project. I have all the ideas on my board it’s just that have a hard time trying to explain it don’t want to bore y’all with everything. Also, the prof. Bracy gave us a small lecture on bubble diagrams and he even did an example here I learned that the bubble diagrams can help me understand spacing and also see height differences. this point is PC.7. Then we had a little exercise and we diagrammed our precedent and saw how all our diagrams worked and what didn’t. GOAL -Get 3 Diagrams done -work on explain my ideas -Diagram two more spaces from my precedent PLAN -work over the break -give a small crit to my friends talking about my ideas -work on over the break MY fianal board for project 3 RICARDO SANCHEZ Design Dialogue 03/08/24 Improvement Here the prof. Bracy is teching us what bubble diagrams do Here we came as a class to see the diagrams we did and then discuss what works Tranquil Terrace Tower Picture yourself drawn to this majestic tower, not just for its impressive height and unique shape, but for the promise something special. As you approach, the view opens up reveal the beauty Gledinningrock Garden Park and the bustling cityscape Philadelphia. With just two oors, the top level oﬀers delightful surprise—a balcony where you can step out and feel the breeze, unencumbered by the tower’s structure. And thanks to convenient elevator, exploring this inviting space breeze, adding the sense of wonder and adventure. This week in design worked on finalizing my wall section. The first iteration believed it was right, but Bracy gave us a book to look at it to help me better understand what was going on in the wall. So in the second iteration you can see the wall is completed and that is right it shows the timber wall section. So in the third itterartion you can see the roof that is metal and that is what goes on it. The learning object is PC.2 because learned how to do a section and understand what goes in between the wall and roof. Thank you to the Prof. Bracy. GOAL: For next class -Fix my posters - Have section model done -Be ready to present PLAN: -work on it when I’m done with section model -work on it during the week -practice

Critque Board by Sean, Gosha, and Hunter

This week in design we had a walking gallery of our 2 week project about play. It was really interesting how we all interpreted play and the type of structure we designed to represent play. I, also learned that 2-week projects are challenging, but know I’m capable of designing something. What I got out of the walking gallery was how to set up my board. This also helped me see if people understood my structure. A lot of people were lost so with that feedback I will always try to have the required designs, drawings, and diagrams. That will help people understand my work. Also after we split up into groups of 5 and worked on the design intent proposal as you can see, Bri, and Zoie were coming up with ideas that are needed to help us be a better designer and help our projects be better explained.

This week in design had a desk crit and learned that this project was just to modify land and work with it and it does not have to have any structure yet. So from that I made a path and then modified the land so the path could be interesting. have a point in the path which you have to descend and ascend. That makes the path interesting. You also start by running along the stream of water and then connect you to the path that’s on top and from there you can go under the bridge and then go to the ground floor. We also talked about how my boards are going to be placed. I also took notes of what like when I run on a path so will apply it on my path.
