E1 building, Giudecca, by Cino Zucchi ArchitettiBy now you should all have developed your site work and programme:
Programme:
Be able to state this simply and comprehensibly.
Don't describe it only as 'housing' and 'public space' - that is the brief.
What is the housing? What is the public space?
Site work:
Does it look like you've been to the site?
Do you understand how big the site is?
- how the levels work?
- what the existing buildings are like?
- what the neighbouring and nearby buildings are like?
- the direction of the sun?
Context:
Think about the setting of the proposal within your portfolio.
Is there work showing and investigating a particular problem, need or characteristic that you have identified?
What is your proposal responding to?
Corte Bottera, Castello, Venice, from A Guide to Venetian Domestic Architecture by Egle Trincanato Now and next:
Clarify your aims - include SPATIAL and MATERIAL intentions in your text. Keep it simple!
Draw and model these ideas.
They must be visible in your portfolio.
Process:
Draw and model at the appropriate scale, in as much detail as you can. ie. Draw everything you know about the proposal.
Don't wait. The production of this work, your critical appraisal and reiteration of it, is the process by which the proposal develops and your portfolio is built up.
Produce hybrid drawings to describe and explore two or more ideas simultaneously.
Materiality:
What is your proposal made of?
How is it constructed?
How do people relate to the materials?
How do the materials and construction relate to the different spaces?
How are you dealing with the existing structures on site?
How are you dealing with the ground?
How do the materials change over time?
Remember the experience of being in Venice.
Remember the idea of Lume Materiale.

Lives of Spaces:
Inhabit the spaces.
How do people live in Venice?
How do people live in your proposal?
Explore in detail
- the way the rooms interact,
- their relationship with other buildings and spaces,
- their relationship with the context of the site, with the landscape.
- the views
Your housing may be bespoke for particular occupants,
or you may develop a typology or model of housing for a particular way of life for many people.
What is the narrative contained within the spaces?
Explore the simultaneous spaces of the proposal.
Does the way the proposal is used and occuppied change over time? Can it accomodate change?
Remember the first project and the level of detail with which you studied a domestic space.
