Experiment 2 Feedback

Adel Zekri
Key strength of the scheme:
The integration with the landscape is quite successful, particularly the ramping that weaves underneath the rectangular prisms
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
With the successful landscape ramping you have achieved the steel ramps seem out of place and unnecessary. It would have been good to see you solve the design issues without resorting to these ramps.

Al-Cham Lee
Key strength of the scheme:
Good use of the quote to bring ideas of adaption and change to your arrangement of spaces
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Your approach to the landscape is unique but doesn’t provide access to the labs as was intended

Alex Harrington
Key strength of the scheme:
Good use of precedents and successful incorporation of their ideas. Lighting and landscape decisions are well developed
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Both labs work well individually but by separating them you avoided some design challenges that could have been solved to create a more integrated and balanced scheme.

Angie Kan
Key strength of the scheme:
Positioning of the meeting space in relation to the Stephen Hawking quote works quite well to integrate the landscape with the form and with the greater design intention
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Little use of the landscape to bring the clients together, made more apparent by the separation of the labs and the appearance that all the spaces are located on the same level.

Belal Bezri
Ideas of 4 dimensionality, trickery (using textures and structure) and ‘irreducible complex systems’ are all evident and work well together.
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
The lack of integration of the two labs and their integration to the landscape could have been developed further. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level, which in your case, with the 4d ideas, was particularly important

Ben Nick Aquino Jnr
Good contrasts and arrangements of building forms and mass, and the application of textures is quite successful to distinguish spaces.
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Little integration within the landscape or use of the landscape to create the circulation spaces. Also appears to be well in advance of 9 rectilinear prisms. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level

Christof Cuthill
Key strength of the scheme:
Positioning of the scheme within the landscape and application of textures to distinguish spaces
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
The landscape doesn’t really serve to link the spaces together and as a result it is difficult to understand how the spaces work together. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level

Eduardo Meruvion-Perez
Key strength of the scheme:
The relationship of rectangular prisms with each other is quite successful and produces quite a balanced arrangement of spaces
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
While the towers make quite a powerful statement protruding above the landscape, they don’t take advantage of the landscape as a means to bring the clients together.

Hannah Degotardi
Key strength of the scheme:
Use of the landscape to represent your clients ideas is quite successful. Evolution, continuing quest, goal of complete description and fine gradations are all present – it’s just really hard to walk up the ramp
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Meeting space doesn’t seem to be a space where the two clients would come together, rather just a space where the labs run into one another

Laleh Doroudgar
Key strength of the scheme:
Subtle differences between labs based on each clients requirements. Well positioned within the landscape with a reasonably successful ramping solution
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Landscape could have been developed further to link more of the lab spaces. Only one texture appears to have been applied which doesn’t help to distinguish the spaces

Lex Yuan
Key strength of the scheme:
Well balanced scheme exploring different arrangements of rectilinear spaces, and well resolved representation of ideas for the Stephen Hawking lab
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
The use of the landscape to connect the spaces is not evident. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level

Michelle Quach
Key strength of the scheme:
Interesting development and position of the spaces, particularly in reference to your 2 dimension quote. The design challenges ideas of 3d and 2d space just as your quote does.
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
The landscape could have been developed further to better link with the lab spaces, and it is unclear how the overall form is broken down into 2 labs and a meeting space.

Priscilla Lynarko
Key strength of the scheme:
Contrast between two labs while still maintaining a link; physically, conceptually and within the landscape is quite successful
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Landscape could have been further developed to better link the spaces as currently it appears quite unnatural. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level – would have particularly liked to see how the ramp worked in the game

Scott Walsh
Key strength of the scheme:
Use of the electroliquid aggregation as inspiration for the design process, particularly in the way the landscape is formed to provide the meeting space and the ramps
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
The whole complex seems over-scaled, especially within the game environment

Shiny Son
Key strength of the scheme:
Well resolved 9 prisms while keeping your original idea and successful integration of the form within the landscape
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Whilst Darwin’s lab fits with your design ideas of evolution (in size of space) it could have been developed further with more thought given to what he actually would use the space for. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level

Steven Williams
Key strength of the scheme:
Individual labs are specifically designed with the client in mind with good use of colour as a representation of their ideas and each spaces use.
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Integration within the landscape and using the landscape to connect the spaces is not evident. By not combining the axos you have missed the opportunity to solve a particular design challenge. Axo drawings don’t appear to be on your blog. *Couldn’t access Crysis level.

Winnie Neo
Key strength of the scheme:
Good experimentation with a variety of spaces including double height voids, colonnades and large balconies
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Far more than 9 rectangular prisms used which makes the overall scheme quite unbalanced, and, with only one texture applied throughout, quite confusing at times. *Couldn’t access Crysis Level

Winsome Whyte
Key strength of the scheme:
Representation of ideas is well demonstrated in each individual lab, drawing ideas from your quotes and the needs of each client.
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
The separation of the labs avoids dealing with design challenges that a ‘combined axo’ creates. The separation and the landscape between isn’t very successful as a result

Yudong Wu
Key strength of the scheme:
Both the Axo’s and the textures showed promise
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
Incomplete Submission
