Step 3: Schematic Design: Sketches

These sketches are apart of the preliminary design phase.

Their purpose is to flush out ideas, and hone the design.

I believe in simplicity.

And I follow through with this philosophy throughout all phases of design.

1/16 Site Model

Step 3: Schematic Design: Diagrams

After narrowing my design through sketches, I came up with a grid system based on the Golden Ratio.

This is a major decision, for this Golden Ratio will be deeply ingrained throughout the project.

  Not only does the grid follow this ratio on the site in plan, but it also follows through in elevation.

 This allows for clean proportions, structure, and programming.

  

As you can see in the following digram made in AutoCAD.

Schematic Sketch

The design is slowly taking shape.  Here is a sketch of the initial design.

This sketch has helped with materiality and scale.
