First design studio for the Master of Architecture Option III program at the University of Oregon. The 3 year program starts with a summer intensive 8 week long studio, media and history/theory classes.
Program: A single family dwelling on Mt. Baldy, Eugene, OR, accessible by footpath with three built elements: Main house, guesthouse, and contemplation tower.
Week 1:
Assignment-Site Analysis, examine factors that influence the sites, choose one, and document those factors. Human, Environmental, Natural, Access, diagram these conditions.
Process-We visited the site, mapped out the 3 possible building sites, recorded our observations for each, took pictures, documented existing conditions, what is there now.

Thoughts-started to work with ways of diagramming influencing factors, using color as a tool, not as cartoon like. Imposing images together with diagrams to portray concepts to be highlighted. Would have added more patterns within the site, color pallet of the surrounding area, vegetation, sun patterns with the existing large maple tree.
