Case Study # 1






5 comments:

  1. The two examples you chose are very different. And none of them is adaptive reuse, which, given the topic you approach would be helpful. Maybe you can chose more examples, up to 5.

  2. As your are supposed to analyse 4 more projects, you should relate the other case studies with the site analysis and the architectural program you chose and also the building system and materials you want to use in your design. As csispike mentioned, the two examples are very different, so you should start to relate the case studies to the site and what you want to design.
    For example if you start to think about the site where you are going to design: Why did you choose one project in Spain and the other one in Denmark? Climate issues are pretty different from the one your site and you these case studies will not help you a lot in relation to understanding solutions for this subject.

  3. Hi Omar,
    The previous comments from csipike and Mirian are very good feedback. I'm just going to say it differently : while choosing case studies, a way to be relevant might be to ask yourself what is the *common theme* between those examples that could be applied to the site.
    Based on my understanding of your site analysis, a very important factor to take into consideration for your design (and maybe for the choice of case studies) is the high risk of floods. It appears to me to be a crucial element that will inevitably orient your design (materials, masses, etc.).
    I'm not sure what you mean by "hierarchy" in your case studies, maybe try to be a little more explicit in your next examples. If you really want to do it properly, the "natural lighting" section should show a plan view with the sun path so that we understand where the natural lighting hits the building.
    One last suggestion, rather graphical this time : try to choose 1 main color and just a secondary one to describe whatever you want in all your documents so that there's a harmonious look, identity and visual simplicity throughout your analysis.
    Keep up the good work.

  4. Hi Omar, I just read the post about the building typologies and the case studies you´ve already selected. I don´t think the case studies you selected will help you much with the design. I agree with Elvazur that you should ask yourself what is the common theme, but also, a question that always helps me is finding the problem to the project. If the problem is flood find case studies (not necessarily design schools) that deal with flood, if the problem is integration with the surrounding, find examples that are built in piers...
