Week 11 - Feedback and Exemplar

Feedback from Tutor

during the studio, tutor looked at my attempts at form and program spaces
his feedback:
- program spaces not really resolved, couldn't wrap mind around it, seemed a bit random
- problem with circulation spaces
- if it's so high up, how are kids going to get to the top? stairs may be tiring
- time to steer away from this "boxy forms" I've been using.
- it's not too late to start re-developing ideas


Therefore:
suggested to look at Guggenheim Museum and other exemplars
suggested alternate methods of accessing the top level, not just with stairs.


Exemplar
Guggenheim Museum 1959- NYC
by Frank Lloyd Wright

Guggenheim Museum New York (unknown)

The Guggenheim Museum is known for its unique and spectacular shape. This spiral structure was designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959. The spiraling building has become a NYC landmark. It consists of 6 floors, plus a tower of permanent galleries located at the rear of the building.

An escalator takes visitors to the top and they walk down the spiraling levels.

The building is a single continuous curved wall; inside the Guggenheim resembles a sloping spiral ramp with various elevators serving different levels.
