ANALYSIS

IG, THE CORN-FIELD

IG | Analysis

History Around 5000 - 4000 years ago, this place was under the water.

This place was perfect place where ancient people could get water and food easy. Because of that people gathered and mad village alongside of the river. The house was made by wood and the lifecycle of the house was around 25 years. For some reasons people moved from this place to another places and the parts of houses such as pills, walls or floors remained under the water or soil which contains a lot of moisture. And this soil had a role of protecting these parts of the houses until now. Still, under this place, called Ljubljansko Barije, the soil contains a lot of water and each

year when rain pours a lot during the rainy season, some places are flooded. When the water level goes down, we can see the remains, and they are so called “Pile Dwellings”.

This is not an only thing that this place has as evidence that human impact had happened here. This area was under of Roman territory in Roman Era. And in 1369, Ižanski grad had built and had renovated 3 times till it became female prison. Also in the 19th century, this place was under Napoléon Bonaparte.

And now, this place is under Slovenia called IG where people can cultivate corn. And about 1m below the field, the pile dwellings might be hidden inside.

IG | Analysis

With this analysis process, we wanted to make a stacked up pile representing the historical layers. Each layer represents different eras, such as era when there was no human impact, when the people came and built pile dwellings, roman era, Premier Empire era and now.

The materials were from the site; Ig

Ig also has invisible layers. These layers were made by people who living nowadays.

First the people who live there made their layers such as agriculture fields and living areas.

The people who think the nature is important also made layers to protect this region form development.

And other layers were made by people who think the pile dwellings are important.

Some layers have common areas.

From the analysis, it is founded that there are two major important things in Ig. One thing is the pile dwellings remain under the ground. Another one is nature which is really well preserved and where lots of spices of life are living. However there are many other things blocking to reach and feel these. The obstacles are houses, corn-field, and ground and so on. Even the nature itself is one of the obstacles keeping pile dwellings from the people since the excavation for the pile dwelling is also the human impact to the nature. They are existing as layers which are stacked vertical and horizontal, either naturally or artificially.

It will be good to get the important things without any obstacles however, these obstacles could not be got rid of easy, since these also had their own values.

Normal Figure and Ground Mapping

Figure and Ground Mapping for IG

All the analyses and facts tell that one thing. Ig itself is too fragile and any kind of impact would damage the tissue of this place.

Above, there are two figure and ground map. Left one is a normal figure and ground mapping, and the right one is a mapping for Ig. The point is normally people think they can use the white part as a open area active on the other hand the black part is private so they can not touch. However in Ig, every single areas which were white is untouchable, even though this is open area but it is so fragile that only the touching with the manner of real gentle is allowed. The parts could get less impact are infrastructures such as roads and existing buildings.

Sketch of what we can do

In terms of using infrastructure, the road could function not only for the transportation but also getting information and exchange something at the end of the roads either during the travel.

And when it comes to information, it should be stacked up and spread out

Diagram of the what we can do

IG | Process

Information and feeling could be exchanged. Information seeds scattered around the points will gather information and also give the information to the people who visit there.

People who visit there could also get the information from not only the end of the journey, but also during the journey by the existing infra structures.

IN IG, STORAGE OF INFORMATION

IG | Process

Questions

Where could all the information go?

Where could be the starting point of the journey?

Where could people get the information?

Idea Sketch of Analysis Model

IG | Process

Site sellection From the questions it is founded that the place is need for information and journey. And the bus station had been selected because this bus station is the transition point for the journey and it is existing infrastructure. The place for the storing information could not take huge area.

When it comes to considering people, not only the visitors form other places but also the locals should be considered as users. This bus station will be the information center of Ig. And at the same time it will be the public area for the local people.

Sketch for the Site Analysis

IG | Process

Design Concept The concept of the design is building itself will give the information at the same time store the information. What could be re representation of the information that Ig has? I thought the layers of the Ig could be the representation. So imagine taking out the layers from the Ig and place them on the site, the layers will be excavated inside so that what we could not see will be appeared. And those things are the two major important things that people wanted to see and preserve.

Concept Model - Taken out Layers

IG | Process

Taking out the layers form the Ig and place them on the site.

IG | Process

Inbetween Spaces will take part of servicing programs so that people can get the information for there.

The placing the layers will also follows the context of the site.

IG | Process

The material should be got from the site to minimize the impact of the site. So earth from the site will be used for the building material.
