In this rough drawing I intended to show the existing features and their location as well the proposal changes
with a circle where approximately the new design would
take place. However, this as every other drawings and models
are all only experimental and conceptual and are all vulnerable
to change and/or being improved.
This is a plan drawing of a labyrinth that I wanted to design for the playground site. This Labyrinth is
consisted of different wall hights and width as well
materials shown on the elevation picture below.
In this simple drawing I like to show my ideal of having this cube blocks kind of set in various places around the playground site to
provide the kids at school an area where they can to anything and
anything on their own using these cubics materials sitting in the
floor. The ideal is to have them to be movable pieces and/or just
monumental cube forms all around the playground, so they could clime
on it observe different movements of the cube. The first concept ideal
was to create several visual phases of a full cube being destructed. This
piece is intended to promote educational values and to give kids the
opportunity to be the designers of their own world.
In this two pieces of scrap models, I would call, my intentions where to show other possibilities of creating something different
and outrageous. Something that would provide the kids at school
a place where they could experince a variation on change of scale
by walking trought a diiferent sets of pathways that would constantly change in sizes. Also creating these hanging bars where kids could hang on as they walk themselves in. The two pathways show different concept, as the image in the top left, you could see the pathway changing in width as it moves horizontaly, and in the image below, you can see the pathways changing in hights. However, the topography shown here are not the proposal or intended to be in the new desing. Its only intentional to be used as a support for my concept idea and this models wheren't even built for this porpose and project. In spite of this, these models were designed, built and used by me at an earlier project in a different studio class as concept models for a similar project realated to change of scale. This concept models were inspired by an idea behind of a story from a children's book. These models are not final and more likely it will not be part of my new design for the Gardner elementary school. They are just for theory and experimental purpose.
