Attached above are pictures of my 1/4" final roof model. I decided to divide my wall into three different parts. In each part, I played with a different roofing idea. Overall, I'm very happy with the final result of my work. The flexibility of this quick assignment let me explore a lot of ideas in a short span of time, which I think led to a very unique roof design. Once again, I see how modeling offers increased opportunities to develop designs that would be hard to imagine on paper.
The first 15' uses repetition with variation of trapezoidal forms. The purpose of this was to create a change in height, as defined in the program, while also guiding entrance into the building with an overhang. I think the angles created by these forms created a unique aesthetic that changes as one moves around the building.
The middle 20' of the roofing scheme utilizes Fehn-like beams in radiating patterns. The Little Sports Palace roof design by Nervi inspired this part of my roof. I wanted to create unique roof patterns, while leaving this part of the community center open to the elements. This type of roof allowed me to frame the trees effectively, but also it leads to many unique light patterns throughout the day.
Last, I played with a Pinos roof for the last 10' of the roof. In retrospect, I agree with some of the comments from class. This section of the roof does lack connection to the rest of the roof, and it doesn't show as much creativity. My goal for this part of the roof was to offer a covered space in the back of the building that clearly stood apart from the openness in the middle of the building. Also, I liked the side view created by the triangular Pinos design. However, it seems that the Pinos roof looks far more appealing from the interior than the exterior.
