Dear Angel,
ReplyDeleteHave you analysed the following:
a. Are there any similar building typology that exist in the vicinity. As I see the present site conditions, there are many restaurants, night clubs and as well a Golf club.
if yes, you should think of your programme element more deeply.
b. The goal as described seems a little philosophical. The goal rather should be more robust, which shows how your artistically you can represent your idea for an amusement center. For eg: Spatial amalgamation and functions which bring all age group together.
The rest seems ok.
Regards,
Sulabh
Angel,
ReplyDeleteall the comments above are right on the money. I would like you to describe the assignment so your on-line reviewers have a better understanding of what is going on.
You need to complete all the case studies and the analysis. Based on those case studies you are to develop your own program.
Also please give a link to the group site analysis. Your blog is not telling the full picture.
