As the topographic map was not very precise, the site is builded in stairs of 2,5m. The height of buildings is rough as well.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Progress in the design...

Dear Students,

thanks for posting your results. It seems like all of you are getting more and more familiar with the TopMod Software. Now its time to apply this knowledge and start working on a design proposal that will become your final result for this semester. I think that most of you gained enough control over the software to achieve various surface and spatial conditions. I would suggest two things: First out together the program you have to fulfill: It is a Butterfly House and Bar combination. Here is an example of what Sandra and I mean by that: http://www.palmenhaus.at
It does not need to be the same size as the example, can be also smaller.
Second: Build the site in 3D and start modelling right on top of it, so you get a better feeling for it. We will visit the site together next week when you are around. Don´t forget to bring your Cameras along!

For those who want to start modelling right away, this is the site: http://floralobsession.blogspot.com/2009/04/site-location.html
and here it is also marked in the topographic map:

Site for Butterfly Pavilion, Park Guell, Barcelona

Avinguda del Coll del Portell 64

Park Guell, Barcelona

The site is actually between Avinguda del Coll del Portell 64 and 74 and is basically a high rock that thrones over Barcelona. Check also out the blog entry from the Students in Barcelona: http://floralobsession.blogspot.com/2009/04/site-location.html
It is the site marked as B, the trapezoid. I will post images of the site as soon as possible.

Please commence working on your project asap on this particular site. You may need to draw a plan of the site based on satellite images from google earth. Also try to find a topographic map to make clear which kind of height differences are present on the site. The entire site is sloping from north to south towards the street below.

Also I highly recommend to build a 3D model of the site to better understand the topographic conditions as well as potentials for the design of your Butterfly House.

As we discussed the program will be a combination between Butterfly House and Cafe/Bar. An example for this combination is the the Palmenhaus in Vienna. Here is a a link where you can see a bunch of images of the ancestor of your project: http://www.palmenhaus.at

Time to start designing on the site!

Keep posting your results so I can evaluate them,

Good luck,

Matias del Campo
