Pre-Madrid:::

a. concept_ infra-excavation / excavate existing underground highway / exposure negative space / floating the negative space onto excavating site

b. review_ think urban archaeologist way / think dramatic underground space / find relationship between cloud and excavated space /forget about man-made grid system

Madrid:::

contrasting atmosphere / powerful urban energy / austere and solid space/ delicious food / nice people / profounding culture / wonderful accomodation / and wonderful professor

Post-madrid:::

study possibilities of roof and underground spatial plan / study structure system / study program distribution / Architecture is relates on atmosphere such as SKY, sun, EARTH, and so on / and try to integrate into space by myself

Ongoing:::

PRE-MADRID:

-unsuccessful siting

-scale of segments inconsistent with precast capabilities

MADRID:

-very impressed by the play of light, repetition, and scale of space

-simple and powerful

POST-MADRID:

-considering different methods to design a spine-like-beam to support precast panels
