Analising photos

1. Serena acted as tool to stop the door, to fix it in a 90 degree angle. Her body followed the frame of the door also in a 90 degree angle, the distance between her head and lower back are almost the length of the door . In addition to that, the angle of the photo is taken so that her legs align with a outside frame of the door.

2. On the second picture we tried to utilize a very universal object in relation to the body. The body is wrapped over the object creating a continuous up and down line that reflects the cubic shape of the object. The picture is also taken so that one can see from the top in order to show not only two dimensional relation to the object but also 3d one.

3. I was always curious about those corner couches in the dorms. So we tried to align Serens's body with the horizontal zigzag motion perpendicular to the way people usually sit on those couches. Moreover, if you turn the picture to the right you will see that the couch still looks the same and the body is sitting on it.

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

Friedman's essay + beginning to define occupants

1. Friedman argues that Tuss 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 o Wide-ranging conversations o Focused activities could be carried out o A room for

Midterm evaluation

Midterm evaluation I think, I used well the words and ideas from my language diagram when I was presenting, however, not all of them. I feel like I didn't talk about everything I wanted to. There were some important things to take in after midterm. The mapping out and the format can be more successful by combining the image with the text that directly relates to it. Labeling the image and providing spatial descriptions is a more clear and effective way of presenting work. Formal description of design approach A: Affected switching between stacks of corners Spatial qualities of design approach A: Sliced spaces, confined c Irregular central open space Bumpy rolling Formal description of design approach B: Continuous stacks of disjointed contours Spatial qualities of design approach B: Framed paths Hierarchy of zig zags
