These past few weeks, Sara and I have been working nonstop finishing up our final submission for the CBI project. We had our final critique, and then continued revising for our 3x4' poster and booklet, which will be on display tomorrow. We are still working on our final programming document, which will come later. Below is our final concept statement and our final images- perspectives, plans, sections, a few diagrams and extra conceptual images, as well as our 3D model walkthrough animation.
concept statement (edge : node : vista): The CBI Durham showroom is a space defined not only by the purpose of the company, but the surroundings of Durham as well. With wayfinding as the basis of the design, the space suggests good organization and circulation. Upon entering the space, it is soon apparent that the building is divided into sections with various purposes enclosed. Each section of the space, or node, is where the main activity takes place. These zones are further separated by the translucent edges- the edges define the boundaries of the nodes. These entities also connect the layers of the space, thus performing as a guide through the extents of the building. As the nodes and edges progress through CBI, the visual sense of a vista begins to form. As one enters the space, the branding of CBI serves as the iconic view, whereas upon exiting, the view of the Durham Post Office reigns superior. Each of the three components work together to create a sense of space that is engaging, not only with the products, but the company, as well as the surrounding downtown Durham.
edge: boundaries between two phases, line breaks in continuity.
node: a center of activity; moments of shift from one element to another.
vista: a distant view of prospect, especially one seen through an opening, as between rows of buildings or trees.
