Module Studio: 15.01.09 - 19.01.09

INTRODUCTION 
The city of the 60's was composed of a complex network of flows, interchange and movement. It created territorial divisions without suggestion of occupation. Edges became an extreme condition with a combination of speed and domesticity.

PROPOSAL
Meta-city pt. 1 discovered issues emerging from the analysis. The 'Super-prix' suggested an intervention as an event landscape of leisure, entertainment and speed. Meta-city pt. 2 proposes a paradoxical approach - our intervention will confront our current cultural condition.

INTERVENTION
We take influence from Superstudio's Histogram project. A reductive design using an isotropic surface. The grid is interchangable through location and scale. This neutrality will enable you to consider the brief and context without concern for style.

PROGRAMME
Stage 1: Defining and representing the brief
Produce a single photo-montage which explores and represents 2 relevant theme to your study.
Locate your specific site for intervention with a reasoned argument as to why you have chosen it.

Stage 2: Developing the brief and sketch models
Produce minimum 3 sketch models using the 12m x 12m planning grid. Consider these sketch models through considered photography and supporting sketches to provide a commentary.

Stage 3: Refining and representing the proposition
Represent your scheme through plan, section, elevation and axo/isometric projection. Support your proposal with CAD model renders.
