The third desk crit on Tuesday. We have developed an idea of small courtyards and the two linear volumes weaving and growing toward the quarry lake. Even though our thought seemed clear, how it relates to the rest part of the peninsula, and the geometry (angle of corner, width, depth of space and mass) remained unresolved. Karl suggested the way to deal with the issues raised and how units can repeat and grow in a way that they all have distinct views, but do not create a strange shape like we had in the corners. Particularly, an individual unit consists of a solid box and the semi-private space which wraps the private room such that when the mass make a corner, the shape of the room don't change while the void spaces overlaps and changes(which ends up creating a smooth curve.) Plus his sectional approach, what was lack in our earlier design progress, led us to think about how to engage with the water and bring it into the courtyard space.
