Systems Based Design

University of PittsburghInstructors:_Jozef Petrek _Utkarsh Ghildyal

Phase 1: System Model Phase one consisted of the use of planes, lines and volumes to create components. The components were used to construct a system model that emulates the concept word undulate.

System Based Design

Undulate:-To have wavy appearance, outline on form. -A wave like motion to and fro in a fluid or elastic medium propagated continuously among its particles in the direction

of the propagation.

Elements

Components and Rules

Line A to Plane AThis relationship will exist 1:1 ratio of line to plane.Line A is perpendicular to the large face of plane A.Line A is x from the adjacent short and long edges.Line A extrudes through plane A.Plane A is x from the end of line A.

Volume A to Plane AThis relationship will exist 1:1 ratio of volume to plane.The long edges of Plane A is perpendicular to the large face of volume A.The short edge of Plane A is parallel to the long face of volume A.Plane A is 2x from the short edge os volume A.Plane A is x from the long edge of volume A.Plane A notches x into volume A.Volume A is 3x from the short edge of plane A.

Site 02Distance Learning CenterContextual Map Overlay

Strategic Programming: In my site research, I noticed that Second Avenue lacked pedestrian traffic and social interaction between the local residences. My strategic goal was to design a space that facilitates social interactions.Shifting was the strategy used to create intersocial space within the learning center.
