PLAN WIP
Working on how the spaces inter-relate on a large scale. This is not finished, just what I have done so far.
ACTIVE/PUBLIC SPACE
The idea is that the outer layer of space is the most interlocked/overlapped/ exposed- the corridoor is so wide it is the size of the room. All the rooms vary in size and height. Boundaries between spaces are more open and ambiguous.
PASSIVE/PRIVATE SPACE
As one moves into the centre of the plan, the spaces more clearly split and uniform, small isolated and enclosed pockets of space emerge. The walls will be more thick and each space more defined. The arrangement of space simplifies and the units become more regular/ repeated. The passive space will also submerge below ground level.
Looks interesting - and certainly for early days you're opening up some interesting possibilities. However, I find it a bit difficult to reconcile the formal language/strategy with the programmatic or conceptual one. can you explain the reasoning behind these inverted pyramids?
Rather than work on the tessellation of these geometries, I would first clarify your methods/tools/spaces for+of distortion and define the difference between 'normal' space and distorted space. As we mentioned before in tuts, this difference can operate at different planes so would be legible in different PLANS as 1 option...but there are many more.
start to speculate on space and the space of distortion- and not just draw geometries.
Hey Natasha,
Thanks for all the comments.
I have distorted the form of the rooms by 'opening' the public/active spaces, that is why the walls lean outwards, to expose the contents.
OPEN= WALLS LEANING OUT
Then the passive spaces within the centre of the plan, become more enclosed, by leaning the walls inwards (pinching the top of the volumes).
CLOSED= WALLS LEANING IN
