Okay it's been a little while since I posted the images from the May 9th of a current progress
model. Understanding that there is no text to help convey my thoughts and investigations, here is a few thoughts before I move on...
Study model 01 is as far as I think I am going to take it. The exercise looked at how the programmatic elements formed in somewhat arbitrary individual massing could begin to penetrate/perforate/fracture the exist box condition. The focus was only on two major portions of the program, the meditation garden (green strips that push out into the site) and the training rooms (brown rectanular cubes). The sketch below shows some of the thoughts about perforation/fracture... along with some of the last revisions to the study model.
As I move on to the next study model, I can a take a couple of things from the first...
1. Use a larger prgram. The current garden sizes are too small as listed on the program and need to reflect the larger scale of the full site in order to engage both the interior of the box and the site.
2. Adding more training rooms to the program. Instead of 4 large training rooms, there will be 6.
3. Add a new program piece... an exhibition hall for public exhibitions of martial arts and larger national and international seminars that commonly take place.
