yr 2 project 2 proposition

for the proposition , i try to merge all the aspects together. the main idea i want to show is the spatial contrast. the contrast between exterior(grass) and interior the building. the contrast of the internal spaces.

yr 2 project 2 aspect 3

the third aspect is study of circulation and the way it can suggest an implied narrative or plot connecting series of uses.

based on my understanding and findings, i realise there's the suggested routine of lifestyle. the interconnected spaces are linked by stairs or promenades. through the arrangement of the different spaces of particular uses, it forms a routine of circulation that drive people and direct movement. such as bedrooms at top, kitchen at middle and living room at the lowest. so people would walking up to down or from down to up to use the spaces.

i make a model that base on a inner part to show the routine and the different shapes of structure that fits the part to show the different spaces.

yr 2 project 2 aspect 2

the second aspect i investigate is the psychological relationships between different zones of use in the hose and the ways it is articulated in the building.

my concept about it is basically about different purposes of different spaces are connected mentally and physically.

loos' main idea about his design is the RAUMPLAN, which he tries to design thing not on plans but through contiguous and continuous spaces so that the spaces are related to each other even though they have different uses.

first, the drawing is my abstract interpretation of the idea. from it , conceive the drawing as a whole (a building), 2 cubes are perceived at different angles that represent 2 space of different purposes, however , they are strongly connected as one body at all time. though the rapid changing faces of the cubes or illusion present a changing views that is like a metaphor which people entering from a space to another in a sudden but without awkwardness.

the model is simply the intersection of cubes with the frame only to show the intersecting voids. stairs physically connect these spaces . it also allow mental connection as people in these spaces can communicate freely. these allow mental and physical interaction.

yr 2 project 2 aspect 1

the first aspect explored is the dimensional/geometric systems and the relationship between them and the pattern of an implied life.

adolf loos demonstrated the aspect through the use of different materials, columns, special wall with openings and built in fixtures. these elements define the purpose of the space and reinforcing the character of peripheral circulation zone.

thus through the model i made, i try to interpret all these elements.

for materials, for example the contrast between marble stone surrounding the interior of the living room and turn into a white plaster wall of the dining room. the sudden change in surrounding when moving from one space to another also tells the changing purposes of the spaces. thus i try to use different colour of material to illustrate that, one lighter and one deep brown.

but to maintain the spaces interconnection, specials walls with openings are used. standing out from wall columns forms the frame and delineate space.

the in-built fixture along the wall that loos such as fireplace and sittings suggest the idea of centrifugal use of space. thus i make abstract shapes of walls around the larger space as a metaphor of the "forced" activities occurred around the wall and centrifugal sense of movement.

the drawings i did is basically the interpretation of parts of the original house use b/w and water colour to create the atmosphere of spaces.
