assignment 20 program diagrams

Reconsider your site collage in terms of the Jazz Institute Master Plan Program. Also apply ideas from Tschumi: line/points/surfaces.

As shown in today’s demonstration create a series of programmatic layer diagrams:
  1. base drawing (general tracing; includes significant lines and site context). 
  2. campus (administration; dorms; lecture halls; rehearsal halls; rehearsal cells; jazz research library; jazz history archives). 
  3. tourist traps (jazz history museum; monk’s dream bookstore; markets and kiosks; refreshment bars). 
  4. performance (jazz concert hall; Lester leaps in nightclub/restaurant; outdoor amphitheater(s); Newport jazz festival site).
  5. gardens (jazz sound garden; instrument garden; entry garden; water garden; edge garden; etc.).
  6. plazas (playgrounds; body exercise; informal sports; skating; leftover surfaces). 
  7. transportation (parking; jazz boat dock; bus stop station; water taxi station).
  8. lines (corridors, connectors, experiential paths).
Procedures:
download the formZ site plan.
• in formZ or AutoCAD trace the general configurations of your site-collage study (include significant lines).
• composite this tracing into the photoshop site drawing at (150 pixels per inch).
• the size of the drawing frame is 16.5” x 10.2 inches.
• this composite drawing will be your base drawing for each program diagram.
• use black fill to mark the areas for each diagram.
