MUT WAKKIL
THE GREAT MOSQUE OF AL-MUTAWAKKIL
ARCHITECT:
UNKNOWN
LOCATION: SAMARRA, IRAQ
DATE: 848-52 CENTURY
The Great Mosque of al-Mutawakkil was once one of the largest mosques in the world. It was a congregational mosque surrounded by a ziyada, or enclosed field. The mosque was commissioned by Abbasid caliph Al-Mutawakkil, who created this mosque as the main setting for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. The mosque was largely destroyed following an invasion of Iraq in the 13th century, after which it fell into disuse.

From the remains, the mosque represented a centralized courtyard organization. It features several design elements such as repetition, balance, movement, scale, and proportion throughout the entire structure that made this mosque grand in comparison to other mosque during this time.

HOUSE WITHIN A HOUSE
ARCHITECT: HIROMI FUJII
Lorem ipsum
LOCATION: ICHIKAWA, JAPAN
DATE: 1976
The House Within a House was built by the architect Hiromi Fujii. Fuji wanted to develop a house that infused the radical use of the grid generally seen in traditional Japanese interior planning, where spaces were combined in layers. Fuji was deeply influenced by the idea of multiple sequences of spaces (specifically squares) nesting one within another.
The house displays a very strict sense of grid and interlocking organization to create a compact tiny home. It displays the ideas of repetition, proportion, and scale that help to bring out Fujii's concept.

FIFTY FOOT CUBE HOUSE
ARCHITECT: MIES VAN DER ROHE LOCATION: UNKNOWN DATE:
1950
HOUSE REPLICA (3/4 view) CONCEPT SKETCHES
The Fifty Foot Cube House was developed by the architect Mies Van Der Rohe. He wanted to address the question of massing housing to accommodate the changing needs of a family. The house consist of a square enclosed within glass walls that allow for a greater sense of space compared to an opaque wall. In addition, to allowing natural light into the space.
DIAGRAMS: roof plan & section
The house includes a fixed service core with an open kitchen and two bathrooms, while the resulting open space can be partitioned afterwards with furniture, curtains or lightweight walls. Through this unbuilt project, it explores a major concern for its time and posed a potential solution for the future.

13 02 APPLYING THE RESEARCH FROM THE MODERN PRECEDENT STUDIES, THE GRIDS WERE LAYERED USING TRANSFORMATIONS (SUBTRACTION & OVERLAY ETC.) AND CATEGORIZED (WALLS & CIRCULATION ETC.). FROM THERE, COMBINED/COMPOSITE GRIDS WERE FORMED AND LAYERED THROUGH TRANSFORMATIONS. COMPOSITES GRID EXPLORATION
