Articulated Edge of the Nunnery Quadrangle (Second Iteration)

The diagrammatic edge of Uxmal's Nunnery Quadrangle is represented through my construction. The repetition of elements signify the spaces within the ruin. The extended elements show the edge's relation to the other constructions within the Nunnery Quadrangle. The utilization of micro lumber creates an emphasis on the threshold of the west facade. It is the largest entrance into the courtyard therefore it is the most detailed portion of the edge condition.

Topographical Integration with Contruction

This diagram analyzes the highly constructed and articulated edge of the Governors Palace and the great platform. The integration of constructed edge and natural topography is studied via the valley that extends past the Great Platform and then slowly rises into the Nunnery Quadrangle.
