From Architecture to Urban Design _comments


mavuso
the contrast between the street as a container of human activity with modernist vision of a high rise city of anomie bit is brilliant.  project uses, excellently, images, plan, section + perspectives effectively as a supplement to the text.  this renders the page as a very rich expression, allowing the eyes to constantly wander.  excellent rendition, down to the references.7.5/10

simoes
excellent title, with a competent intro, body project to conclusion with pertinent observations.  project suffers from being too text 'heavy.'  all the headings should have been illustrated to enhance the spatial + volumetric dimension of the observations.  to simply rely on captured film stills is insufficient.6/10

public and private spaces
why doesn't the author's name appear of the sheet?  project, as the one above, stays on one dimension, relying exclusively of sourced film stills.  why?  the films were chosen because of their vertical + horizontal lines, no where does the project address this.  a lost opportunity.  the blue line is an excellent touch.5.8/10

segooa
a well structured poster, which is unfortunately marred by being extremely text 'heavy,' and very dark image reproductions.  this takes away from the rigour of the exploration executed in the project.  competent layout, but the brief called for the use of plan, section + elevation, in articulating the task.  this is a pity since the project possesses a rich exploratory structure.5.8/10

kluth
diversity is key is key!  a very well executed project displaying enormous capacity in fusing text + graphics.  a pleasure to look at and read.  the text boxes could have aligned better to illustrate the grid of the city's blocks.  that being said, continue to work this way, especially the collage, drawing expression hugging the bottom of the page's horizontal frame.75/10
