Notes on Axos

General:
There are a lot more lines in a thing than it’s boundaries.
In some of these overall figures where there is no edge, drawing the stops vs. the gradients is critical. Show the whole place and its surroundings.
Specific:
Robert (Central Park): Circuits of circulation in a even grid context.
Layers: Boundary. Main Circuit (Carriage Path) Finer Path scales no shown but talked about, Built structures, Water bodies, Recreational Surfaces & Features, Cross-Town Channels,
Brenda (Broadacre City): Grid is the city. What do we call the heirarchical system used in this place?
Les (Vaux le Vicomte):
Andrea (Claremont): Bounds. infrastructure. Sequencing illegible. Hierarchy of roads. Pauses. and circuits.
Louis (Plan Voisin): Grid City. Complex subway circulation system. Notational system needed.
Amanda (La Villette): All about the grid of follies. Drawing developing.
Jeff (Campidoglio): Piazza is an upsidedown bowl. Elements are vertical
Josh (Villa Aldobrandini): Social Screen? Lost? No Boundaries.
Kristen (Salt Works): Horizontal layers (depth) signifies chronos. Procession is not at all clear.
Nicco (Valzanzibio): Procession through screens is the interesting part. Box hedges screens
Dustin (Villa Aldobrandini): Social separation. Processing through cut back.
Mike (IIT): Mies is rolling in his grave. Axis? Grid of structure? Separate the circulation from the structure. Is the grid intersection poins the column lines.
Sergio (Prospect Park): The Buffer Scheme. What’s the intermediate space? Integrate more ideas into the drawing and it’s notation.
Jessica (Isola Bella): Horizontal layers. Theater. Hinge.
Travis (Vaux le Vicomte): Perceptual vs. Actual
Brad (Villa d”Este):
Erica (Chantily): Axiality is most important. Leveled the land to create different stages of the equestrian statue. Focus. Statue and the horizon. Animating the statue.
Amy (Belvedere Court): Three layers. Multi-Purpose. Moving to public to private. Holies
Adam (Champ de Mars): Viewing the grounds or viewing the exhibits? Ephemeral vs. permanent? The word for the perimeter layout is PASTORAL. Exterior circulation, passage, and procession.
