Droping Functions

The Third Exercise had two parts. the first was to analyze the program and understand the different functions and relations, the second was to show these relations from an "open & close" point of view.

the first step shows the different functions and how I decided to separate them based on function relations. the model shows my first idea of how a unique passages will Link the different SEPARATED elements. (to focus the discussion, the passages, which are the more "open" were built from a solid cardboard, while everything else was transparent)




Recapping, I found that the first step wasn't profound enough with my idea. while trying to further understand the design concept I came up with the following schema.

The improvement is that now, the cafeteria now serves as a center in a more profound movement and function relations schema. this idea was shown at the next presentation.


each separated function received a different color while the cafeteria and main hall are in the center linking the other functions.

the above images shows the placements of functions in the site according to the grids that flow from the surroundings plus and exploded isometric showing the relations between different masses..
(the above images were a part of different discussion)
