Experiment 1 - Feedback

the intention of publishing the feedback below is so that all students can benefit by understanding the strengths and weakness’ of a range of projects. Please take the time to review other students work with these comments in mind. If you have any questions or would like any further clarification don’t hesitate to ask me during the studio session.

Khiem Nguyen

Key strength of the scheme: Consistency of forms and relation to the words chosen

Most significant weakness of the scheme: use of textures, too many

Zumeng Zhang

 Key strength of the scheme: the domed spaces

 Most significant weakness of the scheme: the underground not really a carved out space

Xiaojing lu

Key strength of the scheme: limited choice of materials

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the lack of order in the use of the materials

Xi Zhang

extension granted due to illness

Peilli Ye

Key strength of the scheme: composition of the underground and floating form above

Most significant weakness of the scheme: glass box to the left of the floating object destroys the notion of the object truly floating. 

Sisi Wang

Key strength of the scheme: consistent theme, composition, animations with music

Most significant weakness of the scheme: not quite a complete harmonious piece of architecture, very close though. Keep up the good work

Najwa Tasin

Key strength of the scheme: spiral stair

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the final architecture, dislocated and uninteresting 

Tanya Shumsky

Key strength of the scheme: use of repetition, the thick screen, should have been on both sides

Most significant weakness of the scheme: lack of coming to terms with the underground space, it is carved out of a mass, yours makes the ground look like it is a floor that is floating

Reginald Santos

Key strength of the scheme: is  step up from an ordinary building

Most significant weakness of the scheme: is an ordinary piece of architecture, lack of effort, you need to try much harder, have a look at the other students work

Hong Qui

Key strength of the scheme: the stairs, overall composition

Most significant weakness of the scheme: use of textures and the understanding of carved out space in the underground

James Metcalfe

Key strength of the scheme: architectural expression of power, effort placed into the final sketchup model , use of texture, overall well done

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the floating timber platform should seem more floating, the inability to feel in tension in the underground spaces

Julia Luechtefeld

Key strength of the scheme: good development of a very good section. Tried hard to find the tension needed

Most significant weakness of the scheme: use of texture, didn’t exaggerate enough the idea of the building floating above the datum / ground 

Alan Leones

Key strength of the scheme: just did what was required

Most significant weakness of the scheme: failure to improve on the section, should be abridge between the objects and the objects could hide the spaces. A very ordinary piece of architecture with no surprise mystery or adventure

 Harry Kavestos

Key strength of the scheme: underground studio is a dynamic space

Most significant weakness of the scheme: above ground space is a decorated box and lacks tension and excitement and exaggeration that should be in a good piece of architecture 

Seung Jin Jeon

Key strength of the scheme: sticking to the repetition of the forms

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the understanding of the datum the building above the ground should allow for the gallery beneath it. Not finished with animations

Angus Hardwick

Key strength of the scheme: the dramatic underground and the stair down to this space, the overall tension between the two worlds great use of textures

Most significant weakness of the scheme: need to render the ground as solid. Or at least give the underground dome a good sized wall thickness

Michael Diedricks

Key strength of the scheme: the underground maze fits the word grow exceptionally well

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the above ground studio is an ordinary building, there is no mystery or excitement, the form also contradicts itself, if curved and organic then be so to an extreme

Zhen Chin

Key strength of the scheme: the ramp like stair and the floating doughnut

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the doughnut is truncated at the bottom limiting the effects of floating and the use of texture is random. The underground has no reason to its form

Richard Carter

Key strength of the scheme: some good sections, the linkage of spaces

Most significant weakness of the scheme: too many spaces, not enough thought into the words and light entering the spaces, try to make it more simple but more extreme, walls have thicknesses

Michael Berman

Key strength of the scheme: great interpretation of the underground space

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the above ground studio needs more work, the pipes should be coming up from the water like the Fiona hall piece. Some good work where are your textures?

Divya Abraham

Key strength of the scheme: the below ground studio is an excellent space, the above ground composition is good from  a distance

Most significant weakness of the scheme: the above ground needs more work, more of the spikes, closer together to walk over a new landscape would help to create a more powerful piece of architecture, keep trying


All the best with experiment 2
