Mid-term Review
- Πέμπτη, 15 Μαΐου 2025 - 1:02 μ.μ. -

Dear all,

Next week (20/5) we will make a mid-term review. It is a crucial moment of the course and of your work. The objective of the mid-term review is to evaluate the evolution of the design of all the groups and your ideas. Moreover, I will be missing on the 27-28 because I have to travel abroad, so it will be important to reach a good level for the proposal before my departure.

During your presentation, you have to tackle all the issues that we have discussed until now:

  • Location of the settlement
  • Relationships between the old village and the new
  • Integration of the settlement with the existing territorial system (topography, roads, rivers, agriculture, etc.)
  • Dimensions of the village
  • Idea for the spatial distribution of the proposed urban system
  • Idea for how this community will work
  • Principle of aggregations of the housing units (study of the space in-between)
  • Idea for public and intermediate spaces
  • Solution of how to face future flooding
  • Scenarios of future flooding

Requested drawings (hand-drawing, sketches or cad):

  • Cartography (exercise 3) with location of the new settlement
  • Principles of spatial organization (1:5000) – use the maps that you made during the territorial analysis
  • Plan of the settlements (1:5000) – we need to see the surrounding
  • Plan of the settlements (1:2000) – we need to see the village
  • Not required, only if you need: plan of a portion of the settlement (1:500) where you will show roofs, garden, external uses
  • Sections (at different scale, according to your proposal)
  • Housing typologies (dimension, black walls and openings are enough)
  • A 3D-model with volumes
  • Any other material like sketches that you may have on notebooks or paper

Mode of presentation:

  • The presentation will be on Tuesday 20/6 at 18:00. Please be there.
  • The presentation will be virtual (.pdf), so please scan of take pictures of all your drawings
  • Submit your work (.pdf) on the e-class
  • Bring with you printed of hand-drawing plans and sections for tutorials that can be done when the presentation will finish or on Wednesday
  • The presentation is mandatory
  • All the students have to be present during the whole presentation – you learn from each other!
