  • modern environment
  • free of the oppressive traditions and rules
  • social and architectural
  • one must construct an environment as one constructs a life-thoughtfully and deliberately
  • feminism
  • focus on domesticity
  • active, mobile space
  • public/private
  • inside/outside



Friedman argues that Truss Schroder played a critical role in Rietveld's design for her house. What role did Schroder play, according to Friedman? 
o   She had strong and specific ideas about early childhood, open space and modern family. That helped to create and shape an elaborate design that fit the program.

  • Based on Friedman's essay, what is the program that defined Rietveld's design? Language Diagram: Make a list of its defining actions/ relationships in one column and their associated spatial qualities, including light, enclosure, threshold & boundaries, intensities of occupation, etc. in a second column.

o       Defining actions/relationships
o       Spatial qualities
o       Specific features
o       Family can be brought together in one open space, gathering
o       Wide-ranging conversations
  • rearranging, intergenerational connecting
  • redefining relationships between family members
  • disassembling/reassembling
o       Focused and aware  activities
o       Truus wanted to live in close association with her children –
  • enclosed space
  • expanding and contracting space, framing, suggestion of space
    • a lack of hierarchy
    • heightened visibility

o       Second floor: Truus’s room, the children’s bedrooms, and a large living and dining area (one large space that can be partitioned by thin, sliding panels)
o       First floor: studio, library, eat-in kitchen (small and separated by traditional fixed walls)
a low shelf along the wall in the main living area used as a desk where the could do their homework together
o       lack of walls, fewer divisions
o       opening and closing partitions, shifting enclosures
primary colors



  • How did Rietveld's design accommodate this program? In a third column, list specific features of Rietveld's architectural design in relation to specific aspects of the program and its required spatial qualitities.

  • How did Rietveld's design create opportunities for events that were unanticipated by the prescribed program?  

o   White stripe on the floor was always getting dirty so children were jumping over it and considered that a play. Practical issues with the white stripe created an addition to the program that no one thought about

Final documentation and reflection

Final reflection Name : Contoured echoing Design approach and central concept: Design a model that would have two different uses in it – parkour training and normal inhabitation Design approach A: component model, continuing analysis of the site, focusing on the misaligning offsets of rows of bricks and switching axis to create new corners; also components themselves and their configuration resulted in slices of space; Design approach B: relief model from the analysis of the building; contoured exaggeration of the offset of bricks; coming up with a hierarchy of spaces based on different facades of the site Hybridization: choose specific and most interesting parts from the design approach A model, modify them based on different parkour movements, use interlocking contours and framing from the design approach B model. Doubling vertical planes with a frame to open up the model + frames are used as support when performing parkour Occupan...

Program update

Occupant 1 male 30s outdoor parkour wild natural dangerous solo training in the beginning running up the walls, vaulting, grasping bars Occupant 2 female 30s indoor parkour repetitive technical solo training in the beginning landing, rolling and precision activities Two occupants start with solo training of parkour in the beginning of the day. They have different styles and parkour movements. Occupant 1 goes through different parkour movements one by one. Occupant 2 has repeats the combination of actions. By the of the day they come together for jamming - training together and sharing styles.
