Radial transitions

Anne, you are still a bit out of your element, and that’s O.K. Your comment about being
lost without site and program made me pause, I’m tempted to do a few more exercises that
focus just on space, transitions, materials, light, sound,... . Don’t worry, we will do the real
thing, put together a program and develop a building on a real site.
You replaced your first very loose scheme with a very tight, controlled one: you extended the
short leg of the “L”, tuned 90d towards the end of the diagonal wall, added a third one, almost
parallel to the diagonal wall and introduced anarc with center point on the end of the diagonal
wall. A diagonal row of columns to divide the enlosed large space into two zones. Your fear of
getting too loose again made you connect multiple wall pieces, thus introducing new elements to
the problem. The GT is not quite there yet and I can’t sense a transition SPACE near 3, We’ll
debate whether AT is really an LT and LT really an AT. For the rest I’m following your
arguments. I do like the way you are using th etools to make the spaces read; the transparency
let’s you see more than one aspect of the space.
