Narratives and short-cuts




here is a project in dessau Germany houses a federal government agency. But what stuck me was the design and how it relates to my idea of having longer "narrative" experiences along with "short-cuts" or more direct routes to functions. The plan shows the long sinous curve of the building intersperesed with orthagonal lines to make more direct paths. I think the photos are self-explanatory but I wanted to share these findings with you.

The short cuts and long path are a good spatial model. It would be a good idea to make an abstracted model of such an idea which can in turn begin to give some spatial relationship to program. You should do this for next week.
