ONE REPRESENTING THE OLD + RESIDENTIAL + HISTORICAL AND THE OTHER REPRESENTING THE NEW + WORKING + INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO EVIDENCE OF THESE TWO CONDITIONS BLENDING TOGETHER. THIS PROJECT PROPOSES NEW LAYERS FOR THE RIDGE, THE VALLEY, AND THE BLENDED AREA OF THE TWO WITH RESPECT TO THE HISTORICAL AESTHETIC, THE RESIDENTS, THE FARMERS, AND THE WORKING CLASS.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Proposal:</strong> Our final proposal was to look at the area between the ridge and the valley can become. The final proposal had to please both areas within its new proposed physical aspects and programmatic functions.<span>  </span>Within the context of Porta Pispini we were able to define two sites that fit this typology of Ridge/Valley. The new design built upon existing conditions of both the residential neighborhood and the commercial workforce, proposed new physical layers, and developed new programmatic functions.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Final Presentation: </strong>The final presentation was displayed on three joining computer screens in a movie theater type setting. The images displayed on the three screens were carefully crafted to relate to one another and was in sync from start to finish. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>See the final video, images, and

For the Analytique of the Battistero I chose to draw the elevation (most dominant feature in the piazza) in the <strong>center</strong>, <strong>revealing </strong>the section of the Duomo <strong>above </strong>and the Baptistry <strong>below </strong>on the <strong>right</strong>, extending the Battistero <strong>plan </strong>with <strong>ceiling </strong>and <strong>floor </strong>plan patterns to the lower portion of the façade, adding adjacent buildings and more context to the bottom of the page, and showing perspective sketches to the <strong>right </strong>and <strong>left </strong>of the façade. </span></p></p>http://chrisleppert.tumblr.com/post/9670816656http://chrisleppert.tumblr.com/post/9670816656Thu, 01 Sep 2011 13:22:00 -0400ChrisLeppertBattisteroAnalytiqueAssignment<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqut7d2C791qiqwcgo1_500.jpg"/><br/> flat<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqut7d2C791qiqwcgo2_500.jpg"/><br/> POP UP!<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqut7d2C791qiqwcgo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqut7d2C791qiqwcgo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqut7d2C791qiqwcgo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>POP UP PIAZZA | PIAZZA SALVANI PROVENZANO</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Using a <strong>single </strong>sheet of <strong>A3 paper</strong> we are asked to recreate the space, texture, enclosure, thresholds, and relationships of a piazza using only <strong>cuts </strong>and <strong>folds</strong>.

In the painting, <strong>bad government</strong> is divided into<strong> 3 parts</strong>. One showing a <strong>desolate </strong>landscape, one showing a city in <strong>shambles</strong>, and the third part showing the <strong>evil </strong>power of the city. I tried to follow this same <strong>organization </strong>but arranged the composition <strong>vertically </strong>instead of horizontally. Lorenzetti’s <strong>good </strong>painting only shows a relationship between<strong> two parts</strong>, city and country. The power of the good government is a <strong>separate </strong>painting. In my collage I tried to <strong>integrate </strong>all of these<strong> into one </strong>vertical composition.

<strong>Firenze </strong>was <strong>surreal</strong>. After the Spring 2011 semester with <strong>Professor Zdepski</strong> designing <strong>botanical gardens</strong> along the <strong>Arno River</strong> I knew Firenze inside and out. We spent <strong>everyday </strong>studying our site (the Arno River) and the surroundings. <strong>Countless </strong>hours were spent in studio on Google Earth, examining street views, and viewing pictures. When we finally arrived to the Arno and the <strong>Ponte Vecchio</strong> I had felt as if I had already been there before. Nevertheless, the day trip was way too short of a visit for such an amazing city and I must return sometime in the near future. </span></p></p>http://chrisleppert.tumblr.com/post/9669544577http://chrisleppert.tumblr.com/post/9669544577Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:38:00 -0400ChrisLeppertPhoto<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lquraiaNKL1qiqwcgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>SIENA</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Arrival </strong>to Siena. The most <strong>picturesque </strong>city I’ve been to. Upon arrival we could not even see the city. So we grabbed our luggage and took a hike<strong> into the hills</strong>. After the escalators up to the city we arrived in a tight, narrow street. A few minutes later we saw the ‘<strong>light</strong>’ that is the <strong>Campo</strong>.<span>  </span>Having done some case studies about the Campo in the past, I knew a lot about the great piazza already. However, there is something <strong>special </strong>about this space. Something you <strong>cannot </strong>study. Perhaps the Piazza del Campo possesses <strong>metaphysical </strong>qualities. Things that you can only feel when you are there. </span></p></p>http://chrisleppert.tumblr.com/post/9669373013http://chrisleppert.tumblr.com/post/9669373013Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:32:00 -0400ChrisLeppertPhoto<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqur5qbUxh1qiqwcgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Anexiously </strong>awaiting to see what our new <strong>home </strong>looked like, we ended up at the dorm.

A nice short stay, and a break from the bus ride, allowed us to get out and appreciate the Italian <strong>landscape</strong>.
