Finalizing occupants

Occupant 1:
young 20s, parkour tracer, films himself doing parkour movements
Occupant 2:
old 50s, parkour philosopher, retired, still does a couple of parkour movements but mainly enjoys teaching and reading

Occupant 1 starts as a basic traceur. He does two parkour movements outdoors, films them, he also watches those videos. Occupant two practices two parkour movements and reads in the spare time. Occupant 1 comes to occupant 2 to be a student. So, the philosopher teaches him everyday. The young traceur studies every morning an then foes practicing and filming. In the end of the day he watches videos in the home theater. The philosopher prefers meditating outdoors early in the morning and then teaches the traceur. During the day he tries to practice parkour. In the evening the philosopher reads and relaxes in the library.

Defining spatial qualities:
Outdoor filming for young traceur
Interconnected/wired vaulting

Space for viewing videos for young traceur
Cracked confinement

Space for reading, meditating and practicing for philosopher
Locked knolls

Space for teaching and studying for philosopher and young traceur
Hidden framed path

Outdoor filming for young traceur
Slices spaces

    I like your spatial quality word pairs here, especially "cracked confinement." Not all of them read in the photographs you have here, so make sure that your photos track the quality you are defining, or re-evaluate quality. It may help to define your words individually and together, and also to keep a running list of synonyms and antonyms for developing your concept.

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
