i appreciate that "corner treatment" is on here. missing imo are "the entry sequence," i.e. symmetrical, elevated, concealed, screened, angled, etc. how one enters a building is important. also missing, imo is one of my personal favorites, that "a building should be more when you walk in then from when you look at it from outside. [steven holl]." helps remind us that as much as the building exterior is important, its usually the interior that hosts the function/program and it should be as much and more inspiring than the exterior.
Thanks for your comment, Shaunt! I always appreciate your insight. The entry sequence is important for setting the stage to how users will experience the design. Holl always knew that the user experience was just as important as form and aesthetics.
love this content from Life of an Architect! especially since you are in a real firm and some of this is based on actual building design and construction experience. there's some great advice here.
To educate and entertain is my goal. I'm always learning myself so along the way I figure I can share what I know while adding my own personal flavor (and hopefully a joke or two).
What else do you think should be included on this list?
