THIS PROJECT SOUGHT TO EXPLORE VARIOUS FUNADAMENTAL

DESIGN APPROACHES AND TECHINQUES THROUGH EXPERIMENTS OF 5 DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN TECHINQUES: LINEAR PLANAR - ADDITIVE/ SUBTRACTIVE, SOLID - ADDITIVE/SUBTRACTIVE, AND AXONOMETRIC.

TWO APPROACHES WERE EVENTAULLY SELECTED TO BE HYBRID-

IZED TO CREATE THE FINAL PROJECT, AN 18' BY 18' FOLLY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL. WHEN SELECTING THE APPROACHES, BOTH PHYSICAL AND EXPERIENCIAL WEIGHT AND DENSITY OF THE CREATED WORKS FROM EACH APPROACHES WERE CONSIDERED. THE TWO APPROACHES WITH DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT DEGREES OF WEIGHT AND DENSITY WERE THEN HYBRIDIZED, CREATING A GRADIENTLY DENSE SPACE THAT REVEALS THE EXTERIOR TO THE OCCUPANT GRADUALLY AS THE OCCUPANT IS ELEVATED.

STATEMENT

THE DRAMATIC CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT PENETRAT-

ING INTO THE SPACE AS CIRCULATION GOES ON PROVIDES A SENSE OF FREEDOM AND ESCALATION.

WEAKER LIN EAR ELEMENTS ARE DISCONNECTED

BY THICKER AND STRONGER LINEAR ELEMENTS.

APPROACH A

STACKED L-SHAPES

SOLID COMPONENTS

FORM COMPONENTS WITH INTERLOCKING ASSEMBLY DEVICES.

INTERLOCK

L-SHAPED COMPONENTS INTEROCK IN VARIOUS WAYS CREATING DISTINCT SPACIAL CONDITIONS.

APPROACH B

THE LINES AND SOLIDS BREAK EACH OTH ER AND LINES NOTCH INTO THE SOLIDS.

HOW DIFFERENT IS ARCHITECTURE FROM FICTION? THINK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE MADE AND WRITTEN. THINK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE EXPERI ENCED AND READ. WHICHEVER YOU CHOOSE TO SA VOR TODAY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FEEL THE WARMTH OF THE MORNING SUN.

HYBRID

ENTER

prelude

: an introductory performance, action, or event preceding and preparing for the principal or a more important matter

CLIMB

introduction : the act or process of introducing : the state of being introduced

ENGAGE

climax

: the point of highest dramatic tension or a major turning point in the action (as of a play)

OCCUPY

epliogue

: the final scene of a play that comments on or summarizes the main action

reminiscence

: recall to mind of a long-forgotten experience or fact

REMINISCENCE
