P3X3 3D

We will move from the 2d mapping into three dimensions following Thursday. You are welcome to experiment prior. Use SketchUp and Google Maps and own maps to create separate three-dimensional models, to scale, of the existing condition and your proposed redevelopment. These will be fairly bland mass models with little detail. But they allow us to study and think about shadow, scale of urban space, visual connectivity and program use. I think that as a class we need to come up with a consistent color key that allows us to denote parking, housing, mercantile, business, etc. The masses then take on meaning within a mixed use concept.  Some of you will have more of this, and some of you will have less, depending upon your site and in the context.
