The cul-de-sac like composition is a pushing of pulling of spaces.

What is negative space can be positive space and vice versa. The eye is lead by the continous negative space throughout the composition. What is worth considering is the interplay of edges and curves, the pushing and pulling of the spaces and the guidance through the spaces.

Journal Explorations

Journal explorations show the intent to find rules to overlay to the field conditions. Varying scales relating to each other, rotation angles and different arrangement rules such as cluster, patchwork, groups, etc. were explored.

Rule Based Attempts

The scales of the circles relate to one another and are arranged in a very symmetrical way.

The cluster arragnement is derived from the scales of the circles, with the hollow circles responding in number to the filled ones.

Again the scale of the rectangles relate to each other. Roatated against each other and relating to the hollow rectangles creates a rigid composition with areas of interest regarding open space and build footprints.

The field was devided into small fields and later blacked out and left white to create an angular composition of spaces. The negative space caters for interesting moments for open spaces.

The rectangles here are derived from one square that is manipulated. If rotated, one side must be halved or doubled, then attached midway to the original lenght. No shapes must overlay. These set of rules loosen up when moving towards the right side of the the field.

Here shapes may overlay and rotation is not as strict. This generates open spaces either secluded, partially open or very exposed.

The triangles are derived from one another as they all scale up or down to each other by the factor of 1.5. Furthermore, a directionality has been overlayed in order to give movement and dynamics to the composition. This generate aloose arrangement of positive space that could become building forms, landformations or vegetation as it could either be an obstacle or a guidance through space.

Again the field has been overlayed with a directionality. This was emphasized by the orientation of the forms and their inherent focus. When closer to the curve, the rules are stricter in terms of directionality, scale and orientation. This composition allows for open flowing spaces, yet enclosed, secluded areas.

The patchwork that is organising the field is rigid towards the centre. Here a centralopen space flows outwards towards the edges of the field. Furthermore, the patchwork resolves itself as itloosens its rigidity and breaks away from the organised centre.

The site plan is derived from the last collage. It is an interesting congregation of spaces and offers the opportunity to explore the in between spaces as a crucial part of the design. They might be sightlines, architectural elements leaning towards each other. The focus could be on intangible connectivity of the spaces.

The emphasis in the next stage was to develop the figure elements in the loosely organised scheme from the first assignment. The elements shall respond to the surroundings, create thresholds and begin to articulate different qualities of space.

Defining Figure Elements

Studio Beta

Assignment 2.1 Street

Inspiration was drawn from skandinavian architecture and landscape. The relationships to the landscape here is interesting, as the buildings are overlooking it, lightly touching or overarching it. The landscape interplay of rocks on the ground and high reaching trees could be intereting for the design as it relates well to the building form and playing with levels and heights may compliment the spatial experiences in the field.

Initial sketches for the organisation of the figure elements and what they might look like. The idea was to organise the spaces in accordance to the self resolving patchwork, with a more rigid organisation towards the centre, and a loose one towards the edges of the field.

The initial sketches for laying out the figures. In order to create walkable and accessible spaces, the initial organisation of elements was spread out and widened.

The rigid inner circle of the composition started to break apart in order to cater for movement thorugh the spaces. Chamfered edges respond better to the environment and allow for sunlight to penetrate a larger area, views can be adjusted and give a more dynamic experience of the space.

The initial circulation idea refers back to the creation of pockets of different experiences of the spaces. One may be very private and secluded, the next interconnnected, next pocket might be for public interaction.

In the final groundplan, the figures have been translated to a rigid composition towards the middle of the field, becoming less organised towards the outer areas of the field. The layout aims at experiencing the spaces through walking. A string of spaces is organised in pockets that are either accessible through varying accesspoints or by just one.

Assignment 2.2 Defining Figure Elements

After having thought of the layout of spaces the actual elements of the spaces needed to be adressed. The aim was to create elements that relate to each other with a similar architectural language, respond to its surroundings for sunlight and ventialtion access and interact with the open spaces surrounding them.

The drawings are exploring how to achieve the mentioned goals. the roofline is chamfered, as it allows for more sunlight to penetrate the buildings. the groundlines are pushed in as they respond to the human scale. The initial idea of stilted elements would allow for a visual connectivity throughout the design.

Some sketches exploring the possibilities of the forms

When playing with heights of the elements, interesting relationships can become apparent in section. The visual connectivity may vary,the way the pods respond to the surroundings may be in regards to sun, views or people. In plan, when extruding certain corners, the spatial experience of squeezing and a sense of relieve when entering said pockets may occur. This caters for people having to interact with each other as moving through the space.

The impression sketch was a way of visualising a beginning of the landscape within which the elements will sit. The rocks, hills and trees shall touch the elements lightly, compliment them, and produce a circulation pattern that corresponds to the pockets created.

As for the materials the pods were thought to be made of cross laminated timber. the product can be produced locally (Europe)and allows for a healthy interior space, which is light, warm and comfortable.

Assignment 3 Defining the Ground

The aim was to create a landscape design that repsonds well to the figures already in palce. With creating a natural approach the pods are supposed to be tied-in within a cohesive composition. Creating pockets, which are entered through a narrow point produce an element of surprise and aim at engaging the visitor. Ridges between Comments Drawing Title Student Name: Tutor Name: the figures are meant to guide movement and connect seperate Emma Kelly, 950391 Yiteng Chong Isometricpods.

View The design Coordinators Name: Date: was placed in Sweden due to the resemblence of Leire Asensio-Villoria and David Mah 29 / Apr/ 2019 the native landscape and its characteristics.

The starting point to the assignment was to find an overall layout of the landscape. Guiding elements here were the connection of the dispersed pods, tying them in through the landscape. Furthermore, the natural landscape juxtaposes hard a soft landscape, resembling the actual forms. Inserting some building elements into the landscpae allows for a greater relationship between built from and ground plane.

The interplay of hard and soft landscape aims at creating interest, plays in with the building forms. The insertion of the forms creates a dynamic relationship ofpushing and pulling.

Raising parts of the terrain allows for dynamic relationships between building elements, It may create an open pocket, for example by the stage. However, creating said pockets also caters for more secluded, private areas, catering for the different needs of the individuals.

Overarching building elements engage the visitor and guide movement. The overall intention in the landscape design was to create an eclectic and engaging composition of pockets and spaces that reflect on the community, as different needs are being served. The high points on the outside of the terrain tie in with the organised centre and unorganised fringe, as the movement is guided towards the middle.

The time diagram shows the occupation of different areas for different times of the day. However, the final outcome was to lay the diagram out in landscape as it is easier to read and has more relationship to the movement and time passing.

The playfullness of the design is supposed to be reflected in the experiential drawings as well. the protagonist of the comics is therefore a child, visiting the communal site with the parents.
