EXP2 - CONCEPTS GENERATED FROM 2 ARCHITECTS

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969)

*Images will be uploaded later.

Creating balance with seemingly unbalanced forms. Architecture is not the structure; it’s the space the structure creates. Details can be monumental. Use extreme clarity and simplicity in plan to achieve a sense of flow (Barcelona pavilion plans).  Materials define space.  Break boundaries (inside, outside, functionalities). Reflect the ideas on the building in an abstract way. Materiality as the embodiment of the natural surroundings. Make architecture reflect the landscape and become part of the landscape.

One of the most photographed houses, Casa Malaparte is that perfect example when building becomes part of the landscape.

STILL MISSING OUT 3 BLOGS!!!

Bennet, Hanbing and Hao:
Send me your blog addresses asap!! We are into WK3 already.

WK2-The Stair

Wk2's take home exercise, aka Independent Study, can't be rushed. It is a slow process of looking* analytically that is accompanied with thinking + sketching + drawing + modeling.
After the stairs being introduced into your design development, there will be a sense of scale in the 3D modeling.
The keywords to focus on could be: connection, verticality, horizontality, flow-space, gathering-place, and so on. Why don't you figure out a set of them that will be the thematics of your EXP1. Use your words(WK1) as inspiration.


Here are some examples to help you start. We will look at the process of: (1)- creating stairs; (2)- inserting stairs into 2 studios linked by a gallery space at the ground level.


* - Look at Russell's Lecture 2 pdf file.
