VIDEO_ARCHITECTURE - Lina Bo Bardi - MASP

I was given the name of this architect (Lina Bo Bardi) from my tutor Cecilie, thanks! I see similarities with

the building on the clip and Skenderija. Enjoy the clip! Now its time to sleep..

SECTIONS

I have given my self a new task! Its to draw the sections shown in plan (until tomorrow) to understand the relation between spaces. The sections are selected on background of the "game-table". I have been working in plan for quite some time, the sections will (I hope) move me towards new direction.

More work in sections

The fact is that my center is stretching over 2 levels which can be difficult to understand. Whats under/over?

So my next step is to work a lot more in sections, to show the qualities inside/outside. People are using the space inside, but its space with limited light conditions and bad air qualities. But still it "plastic-fantastic" and in this matter its a good thing, but what will happen if the inside is switched with outside? Which qualities are to be gained? Point A is outdoor situation (green area) behind the center. Its setting with landscape, street and possibilities to connect the rest of the center with the green area (the noise level is reduced from the front). Point B is the inside situation, with shopping, cafe during the day.

4 vs 1

I am questioning the location of existing entrances. Are they visible enough? Do I need all four? Can entrance be something else, lift, elevator, bigger, smaller ect.. The sketch is trying to show the situation with one big entrance to the center. It will circulate the movement inside the center, but it will not have connection with the surroundings. But four entrances, maybe relocated, can give new movement in between. It can generate new actions/spaces and have bigger potential to include the surroundings and areas around center.

NEW FIELDS OF game-table

Game table is done

Finally, after third attempt to create a "game-table" that will help me understand the working situation better, I have now made a more logical plan how to make a register area of what are qualities and what can be changed. The first attempts were too complicated for me to work on them, because fields were divided more in a diagonal way, not following the structure or existing buildings. But this new method made me understand some analyses better, after all my site is mega-structure with potential to be transformed.

a_NOTE

The sketch above is to remember my self in which direction my diploma is going and what i am working on. Its easy to think that that you are will solve all the "challenges" at the site, but that seems to be utopic. After confrontation yesterday it was good to know that i am moving in the right direction. Some of the issues my diploma is dealing with is situations inside/outside of my center. What will generate more action inside? Whats good qualities inside? I have decided to keep two existing building as landmark in Sarajevo (services are culture and sport/basket), I would call it nostalgic architecture because it have symbolic value for the area and the city . Sal=hall 1 and sal 2 on the sketch are offering sports. Sal 1 is also exhibition space. How to use one hall for sport and other for new program? (Break up old structure) New parking space or vertical mix use space?

mutation_space

After the last confrontation its been happening at lot. I have started to break up the old structure and define the program (new sketches will be shown soon). I am looking at space with different levels and services. I have a feeling that center Skenderija is now looking like a mutation of different spaces and qualities. How can I show that and create new structure?
