Layers by UÄ&#x;ur YÄąlmaz

Abstract Interior spaces can be found at a range of scales, from the clothing we wear to the city we inhabit. Between these two scales are an array of layers that can be pulled apart and further investigated, often revealing an identity by which we surround ourselves. The interior and its layers can be seen as the stage set by which we act out our lives as we move fluidly between these layers that encompass one another. This investigation into layers begins at the micro scale and moves to the macro scale, resulting in themes that cut across a range of disciplines and time periods. Layers begin at the scale of the body and move through clothing, objects, furniture, surfaces, private chambers, pochĂŠ and the public realm. By looking at the interior through the adjacency of layers, a new organization for reading the interior emerges. Inherently, a closer look at these layers elicit a broader set of issues that emerge such as nostalgia, personal possessions, identity, narrative, anthro-

pomorphism and miniatures. These major themes are found on the interior but are rarely discussed critically in the context of interior design. Emphasis is placed on these layers because they have no limit to their placement in history and reappear over and over again. Each of the layers can be unraveled allowing for concepts and themes to emerge, making visible their ability to transcend disciplines and scales.

Paper Interior spaces can be found at a range of scales, from the clothing we wear to the city we inhabit. Between these two scales is an array of layers that can be pulled apart and further investigated, often revealing an identity by which we surround ourselves. The interior and its layers can be seen as the stage set by which we act out our lives as we move fluidly between the layers that encompass one another. This investigation into layers begins at the micro scale and moves to the macro scale, resulting in themes that cut across a range of disciplines and time periods. The first set of layers is tangible and is investigated at the scale of the body, starting first with clothing and moving through objects, furniture and surfaces. Where surfaces become a wall, this demarcates the threshold between â&#x20AC;&#x153;this side and that side.â&#x20AC;? It is at this point that the layers take a conceptual leap from tangible elements to conceptual realms of private and public as explored in layers entitled: private chambers, public interiors,

and ending at the threshold of interior and exterior. By looking at the interior through adjacent layers, a new organization for reading the interior emerges. Inherently, a closer look at these layers elicits a broader set of issues that emerge as nostalgia, personal possessions, identity and gender. These major themes are found on the interior but are rarely discussed critically in the context of interior design. Emphasis is placed on these layers because there is no limit to their placement in history, and they reappear over and over again. Each of these layers can be unraveled allowing for concepts and themes to emerge, making visible their ability to transcend disciplines and scales. 1: Body+image The first layer begins at the body, which is seen as the core of the interior, allowing layers to build upon it. The Finnish architect

Juhani Pallasmaa writes about the experience of the body and the interior through the senses in his essay An Architecture of the Seven Senses. He describes the bodily experience of details and the ability to understand objects through the tactile touch of materials. Pallasmaa writes: “The hand reaches and extends, receives and welcomes – and not just things”, more specifically, the “door handle is the handshake of the building (…) we shake the hands of countless generation.”(1) Pallasmaa’s writings use the body as a gauge to experience the interior through movement and details. 2: Clothing+identity Moving one layer out from the physical and cognitive perceptions of the body, clothing wraps the body forming an immediate interior. The evolution of the cut of cloth reveals how the body has been wrapped, and with it, how clothing represents the body. Kerstin Kraft, in her essay, Cutting Patterns reveals the significant transition from cloth that was draped over the body to patterns tailored to the body. The difference between draping and tailoring reveals the representation of the body from two-dimensional to three-dimensional patterns. Draping the body in cloth requires little cutting, essentially, using a large circle of material and constructing an opening in the center for the head. (2) The development of tailoring brought with it tools for measurement and an understanding of the body as a curved threedimensional form (fig. 1). These methods of construction translate into current fashion, especially when seen in experimental clothing. The clothing designer Hussein Chalayan draws a connection in his work between clothing fitted for the body, and upholstered furniture. Chalayan recognizes shared forms between body and furniture, and the cut of cloth as the transition be-

tween clothing and upholstery. 3: Furniture+objects The transition from clothing to furniture leads to the third layer of furniture and objects. Furniture is designed to receive the body, as well as objects that respond to the body through ergonomic design. Le Corbusier recognized that objects have an underlying form that allows for styles and fashions to attach onto. He called these fundamental forms, typical-objects, and believed in their usefulness by being functional, mass-produced and generated out of norms and standards. Le Corbusier championed mass-production as a means for eliminating unnecessary decoration and ornament. Aside from whether or not objects take on an aesthetic of minimalism or ornamentation, we gain an attachment to objects while others we freely throw away. A subtheme that emerges from one’s personal collection of furniture and objects is the role of nostalgia and the degree to which we form an attachment to these items. The contrast between handcrafted objects versus mass-produced ones contributes to the degree with which nostalgia emerges. 4: Surfaces and color The body, clothing, furniture and objects that reside on the interior are enveloped by surfaces in the form of carpets, paint or wallcoverings. Surfaces and color are often secondary to the role of architecture because of their dependence upon structure. Gottfried Semper, and later, Adolf Loos both focused on the relationship of surface to structure, noting that the need for textiles to line an interior is more necessary than the structure that supports it. This relationship guided Loos in writing his seminal essay, The Principle of Clad-

ding. More recently, Ellen Lupton has written about new generations of skins that are generated from attributes of the body made applicable to building surfaces. Where Loos drew a distinction between structure and cladding, Lupton draws upon examples of new skins that hybridize structure and skin, making them no longer separate from one another. One example is an artificial skin that mimics a hybridized relationship of skin and structure developed by Knowear. (3) (fig. 2) 5: Mapping the interior This fifth layer builds upon interior surfaces, such as wallpaper and takes a conceptual turn that situates surfaces, furniture and objects into a map. It is easy to imagine conceptually that a map of the interior can be constructed by peeling off wallpaper and organizing it into a full-scale map of the interior. The architectural historian and theorist, Robin Evans studies the role of representation and interiors in his essay, The Developed Surface, an Enquiry into the Brief Life of an Eighteenth-Century Drawing Technique. Evans focuses on drawings that challenge the conventions of architectural drawing in order to emphasize the interior through its furniture and surfaces. Evans reveals that by reorganizing the interior elevations of a room around the floor plan, the focus is drawn inward. (4) (fig. 3). The process of a mapping an interior through orthographic projection is a timeless inquiry, as seen in a mapped interior by the architect Jeanine Centuori. In an experimental project, Centuori maps a collection of objects that includes a table, a chair, shoes, dishes and a few other household objects. Centuori coats the objects in liquid latex and once dried, peels away the skin through careful cuts based on orthographic projection. The result is a map of the interior at the scale of personal possessions. (fig. 4)

6: Private chambers Clothing, furniture, textiles and walls envelop us, representing the tangible world nestled in the realms of public and private. Notions of public and private are not tangible, but exist as conceptual layers that we perceive through social cues. Layers six and seven refer to examples that investigate notions of private and public. Personal possessions bring a distinction to the classifications of private and public. One notable example is Sigmund Freudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office where he surrounded himself in a collection of antiquities that populated his office and consulting room. Freud established an intimacy within these rooms that can be compared to a boudoir because of the intimate relationships he organized through the placement of objects and people. This intimacy allowed for the discussion of sexual references to emerge during psychoanalysis. (5) Reference to sex is inherent in private chambers. Examples include the seventeenth-century boudoir, or the contemporary closet that acts as a container of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. The former being associated with sexual liaisons, while the latter used as a metaphor to describe a person as being in or out of the closet based upon their sexual preference. (6) 7: Public performance The transition from private to public includes the presence of people as if on display. The early works of Diller+Scofidio used performance as a means for heightening the display of the body. Performance pieces include the design of costumes and props that heightened awareness of underlying systems in our everyday, whether in the act of watching or being watched. Museums are similar by providing collections to be viewed. One example is the Sir John Soane house that turns people and

the antiquities inward through the placement of mirrors. In this case, private and public merge as the original intent of the house was to be private, but because of Soane’s desire to transcend time, the private interior becomes a public museum. 8: Bridging interior and exterior The transition from interior to exterior can be found at the site of poché. The division between inside and outside, public and private meet at walls, floors and ceilings depicted as poché. Two artists, Rachel Whiteread and Gordon Matta-Clark reveal the relationship of interior and exterior by cutting into and exposing the thickness of pochéd boundaries. Matta-Clark makes a physical section cut into a house, revealing a view into the interior not usually seen. Whiteread uses the perimeter of a house as formwork for casting the interior in concrete and peeling away the exterior to reveal the interior as a mass rather than as a void filled with objects. The desire to see the interior in new perspectives gives pause as to how we occupy these intimate spaces. The everyday familiar spaces that we know are now revealed to us as if we are occupying an orthographic drawing or architectural model. This last layer, the bridge between interior and exterior, holds the potential to reveal what is familiar by turning it inside out. The organization of these layers from micro to macro envisions a new lens for how we look at interiors. The layers allow for unconventional examples to translate into the discourse of interior design. Where previously fashion and art may be located on the periphery of interior design, a look at the interior through layers allows for a shared discourse across many disciplines. The discipline of interior design is evolving by being informed of new technologies and space programming. The use of layers, whether the eight ones covered here, or an expanded version, allows for new

criteria to enter into the discourse.

ATLAS

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;01/layers/willits house

The Willits House at Illinois, United States was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on 1901. The interior and the furnitures are also Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. The furnitures, which can be considered as inner layers, and the layers built upon them resemble. There is a harmony between the layers in micro and macro scale.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;02/layers/landmark center

The construction for the Landmark Center at Minnesota in United States was completely over on 1902. It was one of the largest buildings around. The building was nearly destroyed on 1970s. It was the time when the buildings were destroyed to makebuildings with new contemporary designs. At the moment, the Landmark Center is the oldest buildings around. Even though the other layers built on the city were changed, the Landmark Center stays the same. It can be resembled to the human body as a core of the interior. The core of the interior in Minnesota is definitely the Landmark Center, which allows layers to build around it.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;03/layers/lake hotel

The Lake Hotel is located in Yellowstone National Park, western United States. Even though its construction was finished on 1891, it is redesigned on 1903. The layers on macro scale, such as ionic columns and the splendid entrances, are added to the existing building from time to time. Thanks to the added outer layers of the Lake Hotel, the relationship between the hotel and the Yellowstone National Park is always variable.

‘04/layers/tretyakov gallery

The Tretyakov Gallery is an art Gallery in Moscow, Russia. Even though the building was established in 1856, the façade is designed on 1904. The façade is like a c overing layer of the building which lines the interior and reveals the secrets of interiority.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;05/layers/novello theatre

The Novella Theater at London, England is opened on 1905. The interior part is designed taking into consideration of the presence of people. The location of seatings and stairs turns the private interior into a public museum.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;06/layers/king street station

The King Street Station at Seattle has an interior design which draws the focus instantly inward. The motifs generate a new layer upon the walls when the circular clerestory windows form a bridge between interior and exterior.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;07/layers/37 wall street

The construction of the 37 Wall Street at New York, U.S.A was finished on 1907. On the faĂ§ade of the building, there are many layers that can be examined. The motifs, bricks and marbles as outer layers are hybridized with the structure of the building as inner layers.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;08/layers/walter v. davidson house

The Walter V. Davidson House is designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on 1908. If we consider the body as an inner layer and walls and windows as outer layers, Wright played with the scale of the layers to create an unusual experience.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;09/layers/belmont mansion

The Belmont Mansion was completed on 1909. The stairs on the right leads to the private rooms in the mansion. If the interior is considered as a layer, the private rooms form another layer in a layer because of the public and private classification.

‘10/layers/mundus chair

The Mundus chair is composed of wooden skeleton without the upholstery. This example can be accomodated with the body without cloths that represents it. The thonet skeleton layer represents itself boldly in the absence of another layer called “clothing+identity”.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;11/layers/london opera house

Here is the postcard from 1911 showing the London Opera House faĂ§ades. The faĂ§ade has motifs and statues on it. The walls and windows called enveloping layers and the ornaments on the other side of the enveloping layer are inseperable. These two layers become as one.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;12/layers/balikesir railways

Balikesir is a historical city in Turkey. Its railway and station construction was finished on 1912. Since the earth is the only witness of the history, it is a great source of layers. The trains on the railways can be considered as the moving layers upon countless layers that built before it.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;13/layers/marion county public library

The Marion County public library in Indianapolis serves countless people every year since 1913. Since the human body is the core of the interior and the beginning of layers, the layers around it are determined and designed accordingly. The photograpgh we see here is a clear example of how the core of the interior shapes the interiority.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14/layers/poniatowski bridge

The construction of Poniatowski Bridge in Warsaw, Poland was completed on 1914, just one year before it was destroyed on World War I. This photograph is taken after it has been reconstructed. It can be considered that the city we inhabit is a layer in macro scale. Warsaw is divided into two parts with Vistula River. This bridge is a necessity for the Warsaw layer to be merged.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;15/layers/haas building

This photograph is taken from the top floor of the Haas Building at Los Angeles, which was opened on 1915. Considering the Los Angeles as the macro scaled layer, the interior of Haas Building as the micro scaled layer, the connection between the macro and micro scale layers is very strong thanks to the design that emphasize the windows. They form an abstract bridge between interior and exterior.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;16/layers/schloss elmau

Schloss Elmau is a hotel in Germany which is set at the foot of the mountains on 1916. The structure on the left in the photograph is made of the same material used over and over again. The material generates a surface and an interior space is formed. Thanks to this form, new layers emerge inside and outside the sphere.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;17/layers/world war I

This photo is taken at Champagne, France, during the World War I on 1917. Earth is a perfect source for the storage of stories, events and histories. It is possible to reach incredible knowledge by examining the layers of the earth since the layers are always built upon each other

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;18/layers/stockholm public library

The Stockholm Library which is set beside a steep hill has a huge and compact mass. The architect wanted to design such a form because he did not want his design to be suppressed by its environment. In this situation, the environment is a macro scaled layer and the Stockholm Library and the other buildings around are the micro scaled layers. The macro scaled layers shape and be a part in the determination of the micro scaled ones.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;19/layers/kathedrale

This work is done by etching zinc after the woodcut. Usually, interiority is associated with the division between inside and outside of a building achieved by surfaces. However, the shining lights of the stars form an outer layer and the atmosphere and the cathedral can be associated with interiority for this work.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;20/layers/harlequins

The harlequins at Avant-Garde Theatre were exhibited on 1920. The representation of humans are accomplished with different costumes. The harlequins turn into three dimensional from two dimensional by clothes forming an inner layer, generating an interiority and representing each of them.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;21/layers/african chair

The African Chair is a handcrafted furniture made on 1921. Unlike the mass-production furnitures, this chair has ornaments and decoration. The manufacturers spent much more time on this object, thus some memories and nostalgia are attached on it. The significance of the layer changes completely when the method of manufacture differs.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;22/layers/cradle

This handmade cradle was made on 1922 and was exhibited at the Bauhaus Exhibition. Since the human can be examined as the core of the interior, it is a source for other layers. This object is designed to receive the body of babies. Cradle can be considered as the outer layer of the human body.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;23/layers/czech book cover

This is a Czech book cover from 1923. It can be considered as a mirror of what lays beneath the cover. It can be associated with the windows that are the connections of the interior part of a building and the exterior world. In this example, the cover reflects the interior part of the book.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;24/layers/bibendum chair

The Bibendum chair is designed by Eileen Gray on 1924. The upholstered chair creates a specific layer over the skeleton and represents the chair in a brand new way. Thanks to the upholstery layer, the chair forms an interior with its three dimensional curves.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;25/layers/bauhaus stage

On this photograph, the forms of a person and a chair can be seen clearly. Also, the chair can be assimilated to a person without cloths. With the draping and tailoring methods of clothes, the human body turns from two dimensions to three dimensions. The same situation is current for the furniture.

‘26/layers/bauhaus masters’ houses

This photograph taken from the Bauhaus exhibition shows the Bauhaus Masters’ Houses in axonometric projection. The surfaces and colors that generate different layers can be seen. Also, the windows and doors which are the bridges between interior and exterior layers, can be assessed.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;27/layers/stockholm public library

On this photograph taken inside the Stockholm Public Library, the various layers that encompass one another can be examined. The people walking around and working, the furniture and working spaces that are designed according to the people, the bookshelves and the walls that create a surface are all layers from micro scale to macro scale respectively.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;28/layers/barcelona pavilion

This photograph was taken at the German Pavilion at the Barcelona International Exhibition designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe on 1928-1929. The connection with interior and exterior part of the building are achieved with glasses which perfoms a duty of bridge between two parts. The feeling of interiority is accomplished with the use of layers such as statues and surfaces like walls, water as a floor and half ceiling.

‘29/layers/salon d’automne

The interior equipments for living in Salon d’Automne are designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand on 1929. The furnitures and objects are enveloped by the surfaces such as ceiling, floor and carpets. Even though the carpet needs a surface to put onto, it is more significant than the floor since the carpet forms and lines an interior that are composed of many layers.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30/layers/table for â&#x20AC;&#x153;casa minerbiâ&#x20AC;?

This table was designed for Casa Minerbi on 1930. The drawings of view and section are on the right. The form of the table is used as an advantage to create a decoration. Also, the structure of the table is intergrated to the design. No unnecessary decoration or ornamentation is used. These kind of layers such as furniture and objects are used for receiving the human body.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;31/layers/kennedy warren building

This photograph was taken from the open space in front of the Kennedy Warren buildings which were built on 1931. The historical layer of Kennedy Warren buildings generate a new mood in Washington. The headlights of the car lines an interior and develops the already built theme and the lights of the trees reinforces it.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;32/layers/porcelain set

The porcelain set were designed and exhibited at the courtesy museum of decorative arts in prague on 1932. The threedimensional curves are emphasized by adding one more red layer on the porcelain set which can be considered as third set of layers. The underlying form is revealed by this method.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;33/layers/villa isola

Different kinds of layers appear in each floor of the Villa Isola. Each of them have specific interior worlds. The difference of floors are reflected to the outer part of the building. Each layer of floor is emphasized by movements on the faĂ§ade and different used materials.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;34/layers/estadio romelio martinez

This is the outer part of Estadio Romelio Martinez. The ground is covered with textiles. The feeling of being in the territory of Estadio Romello Martinez is created by the ground cover. The atmosphere changes and the interiority is lined by applying an unusual layer to surface.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;35/layers/von sternberg house

There is no way to analyze the Von Sternberg House without taking the plants into consideration. The plants here can be examined in the first but also in the third set of layers. They are the core of the interiors and they determine other layers built upon themselves. On the other hand, they are decorational objects.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;36/layers/floating runways for seaplanes

The photograph on the newspaper shows a project developed for the airplane support. If there was the surface layer like ceiling or walls around the floating runways, the interiority would be mostly formed. The core of the interior would become the seaplanes here. The layers around the seaplanes are made taking into consideration of these cores.

‘37/layers/bat’a pavilion

This sketch is done by Le Corbusier for the Bat’a Pavilion on 1937. The scale of the body is the primary fact for the other layers that are built upon it. The high building is decorated with the images and textiles on surfaces, furniture such as bookshelves. These layers come together and generate an interior.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;38/layers/depero house museum

The Depero House Museum was made on 1938. This room shows the generations of layers that are created for the core of the interior and first set of layers, human body. The scale of body shapes the layers such as furniture, objects, surfaces and even the transparent/nontransparent parts which form bridges between interior and exterior.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;39/layers/painted hall

This is the painted hall at the Royal Naval College Greenwich. This hall is redesigned and turned into a dining room on 1939. The walls and ceiling are very ornamental to draw the focus inward. By reorganizing the layers of the interior, like the placement of furniture, the function of the interior is changed from a hall to a dining room.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40/layers/grundtwig memorial church

The interior part of the Grundtwig Memorial Church is decorated with the same material that is used for the columns, arches and corners. The structural and decorative elements are hybridized. With only one material, single and uncut brick, many layers are created. It, also, stresses the vertical and heightens the display of the body.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;41/layers/annie pfeiffer chapel

This is a photograph taken from inside the Annie Pfeiffell Chapel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. For the inner walls, a special kind of material is used which includes small cubes and shines colorfully on sunny days. The layers on the surfaces produce a different interior.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;42/layers/aarhus town hall

This is the photograph taken from the interior part of the Aarhus Town Hall in Denmark. Here are the three different materials that decorate the surface. The seating, beech bench, is not only the ornament but also the furniture. These three layers together form a pattern and develop the interior.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;43/layers/hotel san juan

The Hotel San Juan was constructed on 1943 at the Miami Beach Art Deco Historic District. The windows that link interior with exterior are emphasized by making these parts console and framing it with blue lines. These facts make the set of layers more recognizable.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;44/layers/terraced houses

The terraced houses that are constructed on 1944 by Cyrillus Johansson are very famous in Sweden. The reason is that they are exhibited in a home exhibition. Nowadays, people come to see these terraced houses. The building layer has become a public museum.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;45/layers/la maison radieuse

The Maison Radieuse was designed by Le Corbusier on 1945. Each balcony has different colors and some of them have different forms. The difference of layers on the faĂ§ade of the building makes the exterior world question what lies beneath. Also, these layers make the whole building much more lively.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;46/layers/a grave situation

This artwork done by a surrealist artist Roberto Matta on 1946. The person opens his/her arms and all the other layers surround him. The objects around him are all linked to each other and they form an interior by generating surfaces. The smooth background conceals the exterior world.

Interior spaces can be found at a range of scales, from the clothing we wear to the city we inhabit. Between these two scales are an array of layers that can be pulled apart and further investigated, often revealing an identity by which we surround ourselves. The interior and its layers can be seen as the stage set by which we act out our lives as we move fluidly between these layers that encompass one another. This book analyzes the layers that emerge in the entire world. The analization and examination are made with photographs of the works for each year starting from 1900 until 2000. Also, there is a work that belongs to editor which clarifies and partially summarizes the topic. Every photograph has its own short description why it is related to layers. The layers that appear and disappear in daily lifes from micro to macro scale, such as humans, clothing, objects, furniture, surfaces, private chambers, pochĂŠ and public realms are extended. Separating and distinguishing these range of layers, cleanses the doors of perception and leads to many new ways of realization.
