Transcript of Madrid Google Earth. Global View/Birds-Eye View/ Aerial View/Airplane View -What Geometric patterns...
Global View/Birds-Eye View/Aerial View/Airplane View
-What Geometric patterns or motifs can you see?-What can you see and what can you not see from your view of your place?-What nature do you see or not see?-How dense does it look and how much sky can you or can you not see?-If your picture is of a landscape, what did the Landscape Architect have in mind when creating this outside masterpiece?
Your MissionStep 1: Dig deep into the heart of Madrid to find an amazing space that you can analyze. It could be a cultural spot, a statue, a monument, a garden or park, the inside or outside of a building, or a street corner.
Step 2: Analyze and critique your space through the lense of our classroom discussions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday using Google Earth. Use the guiding questions on slide 3 if your space is from above and on slide 4 if your space is close-up. Use slide 5 questions for both close-up and far away.
Step 3: Create a one-minute monologue about your space. Put any notes onto the side of your slide under Speaker notes.
Step 4: Create a picture on Google Earth of your space and place it on the slide that is labeled with your name on it.
Overarching Questions-What can you do here?-What are some examples of decorative elements?-What are some examples of making people feel comfortable and welcome?-Is this a public or a private space?-Is the space intense and hectic or peaceful and calm? Explain.-What is the appearance?-What is the purpose of the space?-What is the accessibility for the disabled, for a pedestrian, for a car, for public transportation?-Is there nature in your space?-Are there both open and confining areas or one or the other?-Looking around, does anything compete for your attention?
Closer Look
-What does it feel like to walk down a narrow street? What do you see/notice and not see? Describe with adjectives.-What does it feel like when you walk down a broad street? What do you see/notice and not see? Describe with adjectives.-What does the outside and, if possible, the inside of your structure/location look like?-If there are people in your picture, what are they doing? What do they look like? Where are they going?-Is there signage or vehicles. Can you tell what they are for? Does it look the same or different from the same sign in the USA? -What is the architecture of the building that you choose? Is it old/new/Gothic/Renaissance/Modern? What evidence on the building suggests the style?-What is the "accidental beauty" of your picture?
Is the aerial view considered?
What does an architect say, about creating a building?
• "When I design a building, I make a model, then I look at the model from street view. The aerial view is not considered. I strive to have the building be approachable."
What does a landscape architect say, about creating an outside space? • "I always focus on the aerial view and don't consider the view from the
ground. The landscape is meant to be seen from the top floor of a palace or from a sky scraper."
