Synthetic and solid/void assignment

 Synthetic and solid/void assignment

Main interests:
  • zig-zag movement
  • expanding and shrinking
  • corners
My solid/void model was an experiment on how zigzag patterns affect space defining
One of the things I enjoy most in my model are the voids that appear to be small and insignificant on the outside but very complicated and special on the inside

I am also caught up by the imprints of triangular shapes on the outside of the model. The create a specific direction of movement that is useful in creating a unified model with clear approach

    I like this description of how your model works, especially your reading of movement and directionality in the triangular voids that define your façade here. This is a nice moment that is worth exploring further. Use it to push your concept forward by really thinking about the meaning and possibility of this idea: For instance, think about this idea of movement/directionality in relation to what we've learned about space from de Certeau. What does it mean to say your façade, or your design in general, has movement/direction? How does the movement of the exterior relate to the space and movement of the interior? How do these triangular voids relate to the directionality and movement of your occupants?

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
