Week 8’s big event was my pre-interim presentation. It was the first time that I was able to get my whole committee together for a meeting – and the only time they could was Thursday over lunch (before studio, but after morning classes). Needless to say, the presentation was rather rushed, but I was able to get all of the information across that I wanted.
Unfortunately, the committee did not care for my site change. I did it to solve issues with the diagonal railway, but as Kyle pointed out, it simply created bigger problems of access, orientation, etc. They also criticized the varied systems of organization and all the stupid ramps.
However, not all is lost. My committee did appreciate the usage of channel glass for the stairway and corten steel panels for some of the facades, as well as a number of other design choices with the office level especially. But, overall, back to the drawing board.
Below is the presentation:
