6 5 ARCH 142 PROFESSOR KELLY SPRING 2010 Materials: Whiteboard, Balsa Wood, Foam Core, Construction Paper, Transparency Sheets, Spray Paint Scale: ¼ = 1-0 Objective: To design an interesting, well conceived and spatially satisfying townhouse for cohabitation. This project revolves around two people. Sheldon is a computer programmer who enjoys the quiet. Penny is an aspiring actress who enjoys listening to music and hanging out with friends. COHABITATION

7 6 The massing model was essential in order to establish the spaces for both Penny, Sheldon, and the spaces they would share. I color coded the spaces in order to visualize how the spaces would work together. (Penny s spaces are red, Sheldon s spaces are blue, shared spaces are green, and black spaces show circulation). This model effectively shows how Sheldon and Penny will be combining their personal living spaces with shared spaces.

Scale: ¼ = 1-0 Objective: Design an interesting, well conceived façade for your Townhouse for Cohabitation. You should recognize design principles as used in historical precedents when designing the façade. You should show your understanding of theoretical concepts of transparency, as well as how light enters space. FAÇADE DESIGN

11 PRECEDENT SCHRODER HOUSE GERRIT RIETVALD UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS 1924 The Schroder house is arguably the only building existing today that portrays the De Stijl movement. The De Stijl movement was founded in The Netherlands in The movement was influenced by Cubism. De Stijl promotes simplicity and abstraction, as well as the use of horizontal and vertical lines in rectangular forms. The use of the primary colors (Red, Yellow, and Blue) are critical as well as the three primary values (Black, White, and Grey). Symmetry is avoided. 10

16 ARCH 142 PROFESSOR KELLY SPRING 2010 Materials: Whiteboard, Chipboard, Balsa Wood, Transparency Sheets, Copy Paper Scale: ½ = 1-0 Objective: The aim of this project is to provide the opportunity to experiment with the fine distinctions of daylight. This will be done by utilizing and experimenting with different types of formulation, openings, distribution, and patterns to explore daylight in a series of related but different rooms. EXPERIMENT WITH DAYLIGHT 15

17 8:00 AM Due South 10:00 AM Due South 12:00 PM Due South 2:00 PM Due South Indirect light is used to illuminate paintings, and direct light is used to illuminate sculptures. I used these ideas in my museum design. I defined each of the spaces by the use of platforms 4:00 PM Due South 16

20 19 ARCH 141 DR. ENGLOT FALL 2009 Materials: Foam Core, Spray Paint, Corrugated Cardboard, Balsa Wood Size: 8 X 8 X 8 Objective: You will have three planes. Each plane should be disposed on either the X, Y, or Z axis. The entire construction must be contained in an imaginary cube. The construct is to be viewed from any direction. The visual integrity of each plane must be maintained. Within your project there should be at least one defined space. THREE NON-PARALLEL PLANES

21 20 The objective of this project is to create circulation around three nonparallel planes, no matter which way it is turned. I wanted to create portals that allowed one to circulate around all the planes

22 Space is clearly defined by eight points. I needed to define each space imagining that the eighth point would be floating in space. 21

24 SPACE WITHIN A CUBE ARCH 141 DR. ENGLOT FALL 2009 Materials: Foam Core, Spray Paint, Corrugated Cardboard Size: 8 3/8 X 8 3/8 X 8 3/8 Objective: Through the design process you have developed a scheme that communicates a specific organization of three non-parallel planes. However the scheme only implies the definition of space. You are now required to construct a cube that will act as a container for the X, Y, and Z construct. 23

25 24 The cube needed to bring out the important shapes of the construct to the exterior of the cube. I wanted to portray my defined space in the center to the outside of each plane. I also wanted to show the portals used throughout the project. I wanted to keep the planes somewhat consistent to create unity.

30 STRUCTURES AND VOLUMES ARCH 142 PROFESSOR KELLY SPRING 2010 Materials: Balsa Wood, Chipboard, Plywood, Mahogany, Acrylic Paint Size: 13 ¾ X 13 ¾ X 8 Objective: Given is a dimensional grid, a list of structural members of various lengths, and five layers of defined shapes. Using a set of rules outlined, you will express an abstract, but ordered arrangement of spatial volumes. Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3 & 4 Layer 5 29

31 30 The idea I had for this project was to base if off of a typical indoor playground. The term I used to define this project was a Jungle Gym. I wanted to bring in elements of a playground, such as a ball pit, tunnels, and towers. I utilized the shapes mandatory for the project to form a Jungle Gym.

34 SPACE AND COMPOSITION ARCH 142 PROFESSOR KELLY SPRING 2010 Materials: Foam core, Chipboard, Foam sheets, Spray paint Size: 6 ¾ x 10 ¾ x 10 ¾ Objective: To produce a threedimensional spatial analysis of a twodimensional composition; an arrangement of three-dimensional volumes based on the implied spatial relationships existing in a twodimensional composition, a cubist or purist painting. 33

35 34 Landscape with Houses at Ceret Juan Gris 1913 In order to start this project, I needed to determine which pieces would belong on which layers. I analyzed the painting, and determined the layers based on shadows. The shadows helped determine which objects were in the foreground or background.

36 The theme I chose was day vs. night. Each piece is either portrayed as daytime or nighttime. One plane held the day pieces, and the other the night pieces. The angle of each piece was determined by the angle of the sun based on the daylight of each object. 35

40 ROOM PLAY ARCH 141 DR. ENGLOT FALL 2009 Materials: Balsa Wood, Polyethalene Film, Foam Core, Felt, Dowels, Copy Paper, Plastic Cup, Hot Glue, Food Coloring, Shell, Paper Clip, PBC Tubing, Acrylic Paint SCALE: ¼ = 1-0 Objective: You will design a vernacular place for seclusion for one person; this place may be described as a quiet place for the observation of the inner self or even a sacred place. 39

41 40 I wanted to create a theme for this project. I decided to base if off the famous novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding. This idea came to me, since we needed a sacred place to be designed within the limits of the project. I thought about the book and how there was a sacred place in the novel, which was used for prayer and relaxation. I designed my project around that idea. I wanted everything placed in the project to represent a theme in the novel.

42 The first space you enter would be The Scar. The Scar is black in order to foreshadow that death is to come. This is the only way into the so called Island. There is no other way out. You are now secluded from the outside world. The second space is the fire and bathing area. This space shows the beginning of the novel. This represents the time before savagery. The bathing pool represents cleanliness. The conch shell represents power and order. The glasses show rationality. The signal fire is the connection to civilization. The final space is known as The Clearing. It starts out as a sacred area for the character Simon, but become a representation of evil. The Lord of the Flies is placed in the center and represents Beelzebub or the Devil. This is the final stage of the novel, it represents the Loss of Innocence and the Darkness of Man s Heart. 41
