Could you please give me more explanation about this esquisse-esquisse 1?
A:
The esquisse should have been determined with your studio master on last Friday after you have undertaken a self critique of your three presented projects and your understanding of the propositions they represent.
To put simply, you should, with the assistance of your studio master, have decide to take one of the three presented projects and their propositions as a ‘role model’, or put differently, an example, for you to do a sketch design, which can be of a different program. But the site, size, needless to say, shall be determined by you. As for the requirements, which again should be determined between you and your tutor as each project is different. Most of my students will do scaled free-hand sketch designs on yellow tracing paper; plans and sections for most of them would be 1:200 and 1:100. Most of them will attempt to produce some perspectives too. But again each project is different. Some students may use digital tools. I have requested my students to present scaled print-outs and pin-up presentations for this Friday.
Hope the above helps.
