I am still unable to come up with an overall thesis that dictates the spatial arrangements both in plan and section. Although I came up with the merging intermediate plan, I was fudging on the design in the vertical direction, which was soon exposed. My studio instructor saw that right away and told me to look up the Paris Library designed by Rem Koolhaas where the floors are interrelated to each other and in constant communication. My intention was not legible enough and I still need a strong thesis that makes me authoritative in every design decision I make.
What should I do when I reach an impasse? Looking at precedents is definitely an option, but is that always the case?
I really appreciate my instructor's word that the thesis should be a very personal thing which explores what you would like to express through the building. Maybe just go in and think about the spatial experiences without too much emphasis put on the concepts and forget about trying to make some rules out of it? Hmmmm....
