Le Corbusier’s Life With Accordion, 1926
VOLUMETRIC VESSELS
Contour Extraction
The influential Swiss-French artist and architect Le Corbusier, created this piece named “Still Life with Accordion” in 1926, during the Cubist Movement in the early 20th century. He was known for his functionalism with bold sculptural expressionism and as a modern architect of his time, his work demonstrated open and efficient spaces. Common artistic characteristics of this time period included spatial ambiguity and clean geometric forms, which proved to be a revolutionary change for modern architecture. These themes of simplicity and purity in both his architectural structures and artwork are evident, creating a fresh sense of expansion and leeway. Color Swatches By extracting the contour and colors, I can begin considering how these shapes will interact with one another.

The 2-Dimensional studies essentially demonstrate shape interaction and to further understand the role of these contours from the deconstructed Le Corbusier painting. The unique patterns create opportunity for potential iterations when converting them for the 3-Dimensional Studies. 1 Bottle

Once the shapes were organized into a matrix, I was able to group the contours based off of their color and size. Starting from Layer 1 to Layer 6, the contours are organized from largest to smallest. 2 Lid Of Coffee Machine

Therme Vals, Peter Zumthor
BATHHOUSE PRECEDENT STUDIES
Located in the thermal springs of Graubunden Canton, Switzerland, the Therme Vals is a sensory experience based hotel and spa, designed by architect Peter Zumthor. Opened in 1996, the main focus was to create a cave-like structure, with a modernized ambience. By embedding half the structure into the hillside, the complex works with natural surroundings, rediscovering the ancient benefits of bathing. The positioning of the spaces and enclosure create maze-like spaces for privacy, in addition to the combinations of light and shade for a sensuous experience of luxury for the visitors. The control of perspective either “ensures or denies” a view. This is perplexing as it emphasizes the concept of rythmn and exploring negative space; essentially there may be little surprises of space in different paths. The contrast between hot and cold elements are evident throughout the whole structure. Essentially, the mystic qualities, such as the use of stone within the mountain, saturated air, and sporadic moments of sunlight were implemented consciously to achieve this beautifully modernized and lavish bathhouse.

After studying and analyzing Peter Zumthor’s architectural masterpiece, Therme Vals, I’ve taken inspiration of his circulation theme. When applying my chosen vessels to a 64’ by 64’ site, I’ve gone with a 70% interior and 30% exterior approach. Similarly to Therme Vals, I’ve begun my tour of my bathhouse with a hot program, moving to cooler programs, and finishing with warm programs.

Tiles were designed and applied for sunlight control through a paneling exercise in Rhino7. The first panel encloses the washroom / showers and creates a mellow, darker room when considering sunlight. The second panel encloses the entrance, serving as a shell to control sunlight since a lot of light reaches this area of the bathhouse. The third panel encloses the lap pool program since there is a massive carved gap allowing excessive sunlight in.
