Week 2

Tschumi, B., 1987. Cinegram Folie: Le Parc De La Villette, Princeton, N.J: Princeton Architctural Press. pp1-27.

The reading was detailed incite to Tschumi’s Parc de La Villette project. The reading references a number of points which can be beneficial to our folie design. The main points are ideas such as context, concept and function in the design which correlates with the design outcomes. One of the more useful diagrams in the reading was the design structure implemented by Tschumi. This is extremely useful because we are currently designing this week and having this reference was greatly appreciated.

The reading incorporated a number of philosophical concepts with regards to the layout on the site; the context of each folie and the design. All concepts that will be required on our folie design in order to achieve the desired grade.
