programmatic exploration

i begin by trying to answer a not-so-simply answered question...


WHAT IS PROGRAM?
-it is not the architecture
-it is an event that occurs within space
-it does not have to adhere to a specific identity
-it is re-programmable
-it does overlap and initiate interaction
-it can be ambiguous
-it is the "arrangement of atmospheres"
-it should not remove itself entirely from form, but form should not be governed  by it


the following diagrams are my interpretation of the conceptual program (shown in previous post). the first example is a study of spacial adjacencies; looking at a singular whole then dividing, dispersing and juxtaposing pieces in an attempt to develop adjacencies between programmatic activities. the second, which is a study of spacial relationships, focuses on the development activities and circulation through section. Notice that each "platform" is cut with a different color section line; this denotes differences in activity. The secondary lines that move vertically from each "platform" begin to speak to ideas of circulatory connections between activities, especially when their are multiple paths to choose from.
