Tasks to be Completed for Week 10 Studio

• In your groups of 3-4 and with your tutors feedback that you received by the end of last studio on your modeling efforts, refine your base model of the Vitra Design Museum, concentrating on accuracy and detailing, bringing your building to a high level of resolution, both for the interior and exterior of the building.
• Choose 2 images, an interior and an exterior of the Vitra Design Museum, and take either a quick rendering or at the very least image captures from your model of the chosen images. The images should geometrically match up EXACTLY, and be recognisably similar images. If they don't, then your model is not totally accurate. Members for the same group should each choose different images from each other.
• You can start collecting images and examples of the types of modifications that you intend to enact on the building, including site examples, architectural precedents, structural details, materials and functions.
• Start thinking about how you would like to re-envision the Vitra Design Museum. Think about a new site context in which your building will exist, changes to the structure, scale materiality, and function.
• Write to your blog 150 words describing and expressing your ideas and intended direction for the re-inventing of this building.

• Individually choose 1 building of Frank Gehry's (other than the Vitra Design Museum) as a case study. Go to libraries to find books about your chosen case study building, and conduct research.
• Post images and 250 words of text on your case study to your blog.
