At this point in the semester we all have been working on
our design, some farther than others for different reasons, and much of us are
stressing as spring break approaches and we don’t feel much further than the
first review. After first reviews, I have personally gotten future into
understanding the concepts I presented. As for seeing what this building is
going to look like, I am struggling to understand, but that is not to say
tomorrow I will get things started. There are many rules to design and the main
one is just to work, and keep working no matter how much creative block hits
you. Speaking of creative block… It is not fun. Personally I get frustrated
when I have creative block. But I do have a way of getting past it, typically I
like to skateboard or parkour. Doing either of these activities allows me to
get creative in another way. Many times I just enjoy myself allowing myself to
relax. But to get back to things…
In order to understand my project, it is important to know
that it is for artist and about community. With artist starving in their own
community is an important scene to be a part of. There are many community
oriented organizations that help artist make it in the world. This helps
artist, but what about the architectural solution? How do elements of
architecture fuel the mind and create a stronger community? There are many
concepts about space from different cultures that will help bring in community
to this project. But most important it’s an idea that is scene in the office
place. The water cooler has been known of the gathering place for many people.
Many other places like the garage and kitchen are places where people gather.
These places though were never designed to be places of conversation and human
interaction. This brings up an interesting notion. How does an architect design
a space for conversation, but to any other person this space would not appear
to be a gathering place, such as a living room or conference room. To say this
is a hard thing to understand as a visual space that isn’t a kitchen or garage.
But perhaps it is? The point is that this idea of community space becomes a
town square within an internal space. With this I hope that will create a
discussion about space that will become a topic in every project. After all
people need a place to take a break.
