Interpreting what you see
Listen to the linked recording entitled: Eisenman_At_Palladio. Peter Eisenman is speaking of his travels with his mentor Colin Rowe about a trip he took to a Palladian Villa. It explains how you should be thinking about your own drawings.

18 by 18 sheets
Wednesday will be an in class work day. We will discuss the other 2 groups drawings in individual groups (Basilica/millowner, and Foscari/Stein).
You will have a review on Friday. We are bringing in Professor's Ellis and Zugay to look at your drawings.
For Friday, print drawings on 18 by 18 sheet using illustrator template files that will be posted. There should be 1 drawing per sheet. Change titles on templates as needed for each level of plan (Level 1, Level 2, etc.) and for section (Longitudinal and Transverse). Control lines and regulating lines should extend to edges of the sheet. Each set of building drawings should be the same scale (i.e. Villa Cornaro drawings should all be scaled as large as possible to fit the 18 by 18 sheet so that the scale of the plan matches the scale of the sections).

Monday
For tomorrow, print 1 sheet 36 by 36 inches with both building drawings ( floor plans and sections) on it.
These drawings should be done in the 2-D program of your choosing. Autocad, illustrator, or form-z is up to you.
In this drawing there should be a hierarchy of control lines, regulating lines, centerlines, setbacks, guidelines, and context limits. These should show geometric rhythm, hierarchy, and proportion in the Palladio villas and in the Corbusier buildings. USE LINE WEIGHT and LINE TYPE to delineate these conditions (centerlines are almost always a long-short-long combo) types of lines. NO COLORS- Grey scale only and use even that sparingly. NO POCHE, NO HATCHING and NO TITLES. All drawings should be the same scale
As you work with these drawings, you should also be organizing the information into layers, meaning use separate layers for each different building element: interior walls, exterior walls, columns, control lines, cut lines, etc. etc.
