Experiment 2 Week 3

Symmetry:

Diary

Theory:
A dynamic approach to architecture gives a static building the ability to transform. To produce the illusion that a significant paradigm shift has occurred to the building.

How it relates to building:

• Moving element of building will transform the feeling of the occupant of the space 
• - Less light (Summer, or better for laptop focused class)
• - More light (Winter, or Need light for pen and paper focused class)

Movement ideas:
revolving skylight (circles)

• moves on its own?
• students can move both circles using cranks?

able to move squares on ceiling like puzzle?

able to move triangles on wall by hand?

The next follows: PTSD (Perspectives that stimulate design)

+ Change in roof garden height
+ rotating cylinder staircase
+ bridge to square house, bridge to roundhouse
+ no direct connection to language building but the entrance is near it

Due to rotating stairs in cylidner the students will have different options of how to travel in and out, sometimes forced to go through either square house or roundhouse, international students in the language building will have to go through the bottom floor ramp or stairs, this will take them through the gallery, lib, and past studios, this will give them an introduction to the building and culture within it before actually being fully exposed to it. Once they become proper architecture students they will be exposed to the bridges upstairs as it will become more relevant to them as they will no longer be spending the majority of their time in the direction of the language building.

Hero + Detail Shots

Hero Shot:

The hero shot offers a perspective of the key features of the structure, it presents the range of experiences and sights that the grounds have to offer through a shot which holds a mid point between the work-spaces, this demonstrates how this structure's levels flow not vertically, but horizontally and diagonally, this allows the occupant to view the story that the structure holds and differentiate between the 3 unique chapters held in the 3 "rooms".

The structure encapsulates the forest between itself and the mountain, creating a barrier between itself the the cold rock. The shot reveals how much like a mountain, the structure hides some of its strongest attractions underground.


Detail shot:

This shot accurately represents how the lighting and structure was created with the intention of leading the visitors down the stairs and into the workshop.

The angle of the natural light influences the people to flow down the stairs like water, this is aided by the two stops/ pot plant holders that serve as the rocks in the stream that direct the water and give it form. The dramatic mesh in the first two smaller skylights adds a tone of suspense and intrigue.

The big opening with a splash of light at the bottom produced by a large skylight welcomes the people down into the opening which is contrasted by the second half of the tube which is dominated by the presence of deep shadows, this furthers the purpose of guiding people down.
