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 b...

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.
