STUDIO THEME: Inner House In the age of instant media, volatile trends and effortless global interaction, designers are exposed to a deluge of architectural imagery and content. Shallow adoption of ideas based on this content is widespread, often leading to stylistic imitation and the home ogenisation of design output. The pressure on architects to produce innovative and popular schemes has created a new mode of rapid cultural appropriation and promoted a scenographic approach to building design. Increasingly, contemporary residential projects are required to present the public with an amplified brand and be presented as a marketing object. Clients are looking for the viral ‘Insta’ shot or gimmick that will sell real estate and architects are obliging in an effort to sedate the client and grow their practices.
As designers, we should strive for an architecture that pushes back on shallow façadeism and objectification. The most important elements of architecture do not translate into imagery and a projects architectural identity should not be found online. Buildings need to be rooted in their geographical and cultural context and highlight the uniqueness of the region and the users. The experience, sensation and feeling of space is what remains once the pornography of airbrushed architecture fades. Studio 16 will provide students with an opportunity to develop a housing project that counters the superficial aesthetics and objectification of contemporary architecture. The studio will explore alternative design drivers such as time, place, experience, ritual, tectonics and culture. Inner House will focus the design attention to the inner workings of the dwelling with the ambition to uncover a practical and refined
3
architecture that is beautiful in its simplicity. Throughout the first part of the semester, students will be exposed to some of the conceptual and technical foundations required in residential design through a series of curated exercises. Working from a human scale and expanding outwards, a humanistic approach to design will be promoted. The work of masters such as Alvaro Siza, Peter Zumthor, Louis Kahn and Carlo Scarpa, among others, will be investigated and will form a part of the initial research component of the semester. This will provide a solid conceptual framework moving into the second phase where students will develop their proposal for Inner House.

MINDFULNESS Inner House
“Mindfulness is both a destination and a process.” Jared Levenson.
Gordon Hon Chun Hin 6
In the age of social media, the 24-hour news cycle, and an overwhelming pressure in the society, people in city often contain a constant state of stress and overwork. This constant state of stress then builds into anxiety, as there are few resources for mental reprieve, which will greatly impact one's mental wellness. Considering the status of societal stress, I see architecture as the retreat and medicine of the mental anxiety. Architecture has the power to promote a sense of presence, forcing users to pay attention to the immediate environment, in which place influences emotions, which control our lives and could also be impact behaviour. Physical environments should be challenged to be part of a solution to mental health problems as they have the power to influence the emotional state of the people within them. Architecture should serve a role in promoting mental wellness through mindful experiences. An architecture of mindfulness would not only fulfil the needs of mindfulness meditation, but also go further in establishing physical attributes that can form an ideal environment to be present in. By embracing the natural factors surrounding the space, it will develop an aesthetically pleasing and soothing space with an experience of calmness and stillness by accessing with nature, light and air. It can provides an opportunity of a peaceful retreat for reflection and contemplation to oneself.

CONGRESS AND EXHIBITION PALACE OF CASTILLA Y LEĂ“N Box Model Exercise
The spacious theatre is built by architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg in University of Salamanca, Spain in 1985. This spacious hall is crowned by a magnificent dome that floats upon this main auditorium. The negative form is giving the hierarchy of the level from bottom to the top, and negative space is very spacious given by the purpose of a theatre. Dome on top is the main feature of the space. Its geometry is very interesting spreading from inner circle to an overall square shape. And the layer is descending at four corners is like covering the whole space. Lights are penetrating from the center skylight and the edge of the square. This is giving a feeling of sacred and serious atmosphere for the theatre.

MAN CAVE Design an Object
In the age of anxiety, the man cave is designed to be a peaceful retreat for reflection and contemplation for oneself. It allows user to experience calmness, peace and harmony, while he/she could be fully present in the moment. The pods offer a carved out spot for people to experience individually, quiet and privacy. Through materiality, texture, lightness, mass and form, it gives the feeling of accessing nature, disconnecting oneself from mobile phone and all others messy stuffs, but to just fully present in the moment, experience the “beautiful silence�. In this isolated and mindful meditation, one can feel relax and have my sense of feeling activated and be awareness of part of our body, and eventually find the inner calm.

A MINDFUL JOURNEY OF HEALING Subterranean Room
“Mindfulness is both a destination and a process.� Jared Levenson. Destination is when you get to the top of mountain peak after a long hike and deeply breathe in the fresh air. Process is the period you trekking up the mountain, taking the journey one slow step at a time. Getting to the top of the mountain is a destination example of mindfulness that when you reach the peak of the mountain you feel energized, calm, present and connected. A mindful architectural space shares the similar idea, but instead of getting to the top, we are going deep down to our mind, and at last reach the destination of inner peace at the subterranean room. Someone says meditation is an intangible process, it is all about the mind thinking, but what if we make it tangible as a physical journey. Meanwhile, space is not necessarily tangible. It can also be an intangible notion, a place that you can turn to in order to escape from people and things in some form or other. The ambiguity between them create the architecture of mindfulness, a journey of meditation, where I will explore three stages, from stress and anxiety, to calming and relief, and finally self-realisation.

EXPERIENCE STAGES OF MINDFULNESS & STRESS RELIEF
Stage 1 - Anxiety & Stress At the beginning of the journey, path is crowded, rusty iron is the dominant encountered material by the surrounding & dimness of light is introduced from the tiny gap of partitions. The circular curvature of pathway blocks the front view of the corridor, which provokes matter of unknown. The metal floor causes heavy and echoed acoustic. These introduce sensation of anxiety, fear and overwhelming. Causing an emotional response to real or perceived threats. Sentimental judgements are occurred in head. Dark Rusty Iron Light Rusty Iron
STAGE 1
Stage 2 - Calming & Relief Materiality has changed following the boarder pathway. Natural elements of timber, plants and water are introduced. Relatively wider partition gap allows larger amount of luminance enter the corridor when the level goes deeper, which provides a clarity of sight to the unknown. The natural elements cause visual and textural comfort and ambient sounds from the edge of mini-waterfall. The access of nature calms one’s emotion from recognise and acknowledge the presence of anxiety. Look back the situation again without the judgement or the story you are telling yourself. Feel the difference. Drop down the level of anxiety. Timber Creeper Plants on Timebr

BRIEF
CLIENTS BACKGROUND -
2 Adults, husband (41) and wife (37), married with a daughter (10) and a son (4)
-
Husband is a office worker who is stressed about work. He see the house as a retreat and sanctuary as an escape from urban. He loves connected to natural environment, he is excited to go the Yarra Trail to exercise and be closed with environment. Thus, he sees the vineyard as the significant element of the site. He wants Inner House to preserve and corporate with it instead of dominate and destroy it. He also belief spatial environment has the power to compel users to truly be present, activating home space to become a designed sensory experience rather than just a passive infrastructure.

DESIGN CONCEPT
As a precious green space and vineyard, the site is one of Melbourne’s best-kept secrets that perfectly hid in urban area. It is seen as a retreat and sanctuary to escape from the urban stressful life. The vineyard is the central idea in the inner house. The Inner House seeks to find the local language through the vineyard. The design strives to counter the placelessness and lack of identity of the International Style. The Inner House is to provide an architecture rooted in the modern tradition, but providing a close connection and response to the site context in a geographical and historical context.
20
HISTORICAL CONTEXT With regard to the response to vineyard, it has a strong historical connection to the agricultural context. It was used for market gardening for last century, then replanted with cabernet sauvignon for vineyard purpose. With urbanization takes place, the surrounding site has developed into buildings and urban residential housing. The vineyard becomes the last straw of the old local language. Therefore, my design intention is to brings the nostalgia agricultural language into Inner House. The design takes reference from the old Australian farmhouse and machinery. In order to reassemble vibe of agricultural building, steel is the main elements for the building envelope to provide a rusty sense of the times, meanwhile gives a sensory experience to user. Old farmhouse often shaped in boxes with gable or shred roof, the boxes works in different function programs such as storage, machinery, livestock barns and shelters, etc. The singularity of farmhouse provides individual usage of different programs.
21
FINAL DESIGN
“Form follow function” is the idea provide simplicity to Inner House, the shape and layout is designed by required programs specified by clients.

LIVING AREA - CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL As the first reached major function area from main entrance, living area is positioned on the upper middle pod, symbolising center of the inner house. Glass wall is specifically designed for three side of the pod where outdoor living and dining areas are on two sides with partly covered veranda extended from the edge of pods. The design approach here is to blur the internal and external concept through provide openness, transparency and ambiguity to embrace the outdoor space, so as a respond to the northern vineyard. The lifted edge design with glass wall not only provide larger natural light access but also maximise the view to vineyard. Veranda creates an indoor cover feeling externally; sliding glass wall allows an extended version of living room to the outdoor one; and trees shading is reflected into the internal from the north east angle in the morning also contributes an idea of ambiguity of internal and external. On the oother side looking back to the South, glazing allows an penetrated view through the southern swimming pool to the Yarra River, creates a magnificent visual view connection.

DINING AREA - CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL Dining area is in the last pod from the main entrance. It shares the same concept to living area where sliding glass wall allows connection to outdoor dining area on the right. The only difference is the left wall is a steel facade to block irritating sunset from the west.
MAIN TO REAR ENTRANCE - SENSORY CORRIDOR The elongated corridor is one of the main sensory experience of Inner House from main entrance to the rear end. Collaborated with the rusty steel texture of facade, it aims to provide a sense of mysteriousness through materials and play of light and shadow. Living and dining area run through middle of corridor, provide intermittent brightness to the pathway, while the corridor area contributes a dim and dark atmosphere. The contrast of light and shadow provokes a sensory experience to occupants. One interesting feature is they can see the glazing at the end from the start, but they know nothing about the middle sectors. By not showing all in the layout design, it incorporates art of unknown to trigger further imagination and a mindful experience, as a result, to relieve from the stress.

MASTER BEDROOM & OFFICE - INDIVIDUALITY & PRIVACY Going down to the lower part of the house through the middle transitional zone, the bottom part focus on level of privacy. The bottom three pods are master bedroom, guest bedrooms and office & gym from left to right. They are individually separated from each other to allow private space, where parents and children can spend their self-quality time without any disturbance. For materiality of room, the combination of warm tone steel facade with desaturated tone timber flooring and ceiling creates a comfort atmosphere for the rooms, as a sense of mindful and natural raw feeling. For the view, the orientation of pods provide views to Yarra River through out swimming pool, creates a visual connection responding to site.

*alarm rings* I wake. Wait, not yet. Okay fine, I got up. Where’s my cup? *gulps* Ooh breakfast! “same thing again?” Why not? “don’t you get bored of it?” How can I when the sunshine is always different?
52
We are creatures of habit. We seek comfort and solace in the familiar. It suits us, and we mould ourselves to it. It becomes repetitive, we do not need to think about it. Our senses recognize the task we are performing unconsciously and because of that, our minds are able to wonder. By repeating a series of arches, he creates a steady rhythm [Moneo]. Repetition is not mundane, it makes me feel safe. But I also need room for encounters, a subtle element of change. It does not impose itself and simply appears in an organic manner which then takes me on a journey of wonder. Alas, he shows me the curve [Niemeyer]. Repetition gives me a sense of familiarity. From the steady rhythm it creates, I am then able to allow my consciousness and imagination to weave through the voids in between freely like the curve. Neither repetition nor chance can be absent. They have to coexist in order for my mind to work. The reassurance of rhythm and the liberty of the curve, my sensibility and sense.
53
National Museum of Roman Art by Rafael Moneo
From this exercise, I learned to appreciate the simplicity of the building’s internal form and choice of material. Borrowing the ancient motif of the roman arch, Moneo manages to create a spirit within the building that is not ancient at all. It has the rigor and precision of any modern building yet it also complements the context as well as the exhibited objects. The architecture is at peace. I also realized just how impactful the use of natural light is within this space. It allows the walls to have a warm wash of light but also creates an emotive atmosphere which allows people to be ever present in this building.

C(h)air
Cair is my interpretation on the relationship between a table and a chair. When reduced to the most basic elements, what makes a chair or what makes a table is essentially a planar surface adjusted to varying heights. But why is it that we naturally assume that a lower surface is meant for seating and a higher surface is meant to be a table? Hence, Cair is my attempt at blurring the classifications of a table of a chair. Rather, Cair melts together all the varying levels of a surface to cater for a range of activities. The activities that I have included are: -
Working
in
a
sitting
60
or
standing
Dining position Drafting
450 300 250
From the modular person exercise, I utilized the dimensions that were collected for a regular table, chair and standing table. I then tried to set out different sitting positions based on using the level of a table as a chair or the level of a chair as a table.
Chair Table
Standing Desk
Table Chair
The two projects below acted as my precedence for Cair as it shared a similar idea which I was trying to convey with my design. The idea of a surface with varying heights which would act as a visual cue for different activities or sitting positions.

Habitual Refuge
Habitual Refuge is a space where I relate my concept with dancing ballet. Ballet is a dance form whereby dance moves and exercises are repeated over and over again so that the movement almost becomes second nature to the dancer. On one hand, as I mastered each dance technique through the act of practice and repetition, the routine started to feel mundane. However, because the dance moves have become second nature to me, my consciousness drifts. It is then able to wonder. There is a level of safety that one can feel when carrying out a routine. It becomes something predictable that even your physical body would know what to do even if your conscience was not fully present at that moment. Hence, Habitual Refuge acts as a reminder that even in the most mundane things, our minds will always try to weave through the steady rhythm of repetition to wonder and find moments of delight.

RHYTHM & BATTENS SIDNEY SIM
76
Rhythm: regular | repeated | pattern of movement | daily routines of home life
77
A family and a home are seen as a unit, but within this unit are individuals that make up a family. Whilst living under the same roof, each family member still maintains their own personal rhythms and routines of daily life. Hence, R+B is my interpretation of creating a home that highlights the intersection of personal rhythms of each family member. The dining area is the communal activity centre where family members come together to dine and bond by sharing how their day went over a meal. This effect of the intersection of personal rhythms is enhanced when every family member is involved. The use of battens are placed at particular thresholds to highlight where the different spaces of the house overlap. At these thresholds, the same battens are arranged differently to represent a difference in perception. For instance, one might find their personal routine to be mundane but for the other person it is not mundane at all.

Elements-Fire-Hearth-Act-Emotion- Connection-Warmth -Dwelling As I sit gazing upon the cold empty metropolis, rain colliding with the tin roofs of chapel lane below, wind howling through the irregularities of the marketplaces form. I take a break from my minds frantic search of a developmental path for the Innerhouse, being fully aware of Joel’s impending wrath if the goods are not delivered at mid semester, and recall a time when the sound of mother nature’s intervention with built form would create a spark. Not the literal spark of a blazing fire, but the spark created by the human interactions around the fireplace, ignited by the exterior climatic conditions. With this in mind, as I pick up the split system remote inside my white walled Hickory built apartment, trying to avoid any new defects that will catch my eye. Joy! By a single push of a button, heat is created. However, this time there is something different. The heat is dry and devoid of any spark or emotion, producing nothing more than feelings of imitation as the temperature rises and the mind detaches from any associated memories or connections derived from the primitive essence it is attempting to replicate. Innerhouse seeks to investigate the relationship between people and place through cultural and climatic conditions, focusing on how acts and processes can evoke our strongest emotions in time and space.

Concrete is at the heart of the system emitting heat to the extended scale through its thermal mass while a tubular radiator charges the rotating steel and timber panels for the immediate context. Once heated, the panels will provide a range of varying thermal qualities which create experiences on a tactile, thermal and physical level based on programming.

In the age of globalisation, the way we perceive and experience architectural environments has shifted from an engaging cultural experience depicting place, into an aesthetic venture selling the idea of place. The by-product of modernity’s attempt to solve complex architectural issues through standardized language and mass production has inadvertently created a disconnect between people and the essence of place. While the artificial attempts of historicism within post-modern architecture has further alienated architecture from its ability to express authentic cultural connections. Constituents of locality have dissolved within our environments and standardized forms through mass consumer culture are creating standardized emotions, divorcing us from any true experience. In the case of the suburban house, developer driven projects propose the idea of a family-oriented experience through images of an aesthetic dwelling shell that blends into the neighboring built form context. The white walled gyprock interiors, devoid of any emotion, bearing no relationship to site or regional aspects are disconnecting the inhabitants from their surroundings. Memories and human connections are lost and the only materiality expressed is on the external walls providing nothing more than a moment of stimuli for the onlooker as they walk down the street. The product, a shed resembling and house that is designed to look like a home. Actuated grounds is an investigation into the conceptual framework behind linking people to place through regionalist methodology, focusing on how acts and essences can build the foundations for a home.

CLIENT
MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILY
Family of four that after living in the metropolis for 15 years, is fed up with the fast-paced lifestyle and lack of genuine connections made in this environment. The male adult has just retired after a long lustrous career working for David enterprises and comes from 4th generation wine makers. The client, reminiscing on his own personal experiences when working and playing on his parent’s vineyard at young age, sees retirement as the perfect opportunity to produce his own bespoke wine as a hobby while also reconnecting with his family. The female adult is a lawyer and is supporting her husband’s venture so is equally excited for the change in lifestyle. Grandparents of father are moving in because they are getting old and family traditions forbid placing them into aged care. While the kids are not too happy about shifting their lives, they do reminisce the positive experiences and connections made while running through the vineyard collecting firewood for the family fireplace . The parents are also hopeful the kids will decide to stay on the premises to raise their own families. Pinot noir is the drop of choice.

By subconsciously connecting the family to the architecture through active participation of site and dwelling. The emotional impact derived will create a sense of place and belonging for the family. The dwelling and site will participate in the forming of new memories through time and space, creating a home for current and future generations through these connections.

It’s the architecture for the introvert. They might be insignificant, but they are still a part of us. The idea to design for human is to create an overall balance. Balance in amount of light, amount of space and amount of enclosed/ open space. As much as an introvert needs a small space to allow safety, there is also a need of having an open space for them to breath but it would just be for a person and to not be shared. Taking the philosophy from Zumthor “building must be experienced in human”, Inner House will be the medium to put a human perspective to actively participate with their introverted-ness. The aim is to focus on creating spaces with different vertical distances that would allow various experience and mental condition of a person while being in the different spaces. This spaces would then create the safe space for the introverted to express themselves to themselves. The use of ‘honest’ material and different textures will take part in creating a tactical experience to uplift the phenomenon. Inner House will use a human-centric approach of moulding the spaces with the focus of phenomenology. It will reflect on repetitions of daily life in an introvert perspective. The house will serve the user all that is needed throughout the day without the feeling of lost but complete, through the sequence of programs within the spaces. That is why the balance is needed.

Subterranean room is a device in exploring between the two spaces of exposed/enclosed in fulfilling the needs of an introvert, and the threshold between - the ambiguous. Hierarchies of spaces are arranged based on the level of light in each room reflects the needs of light for each occupancy of space. The height of spaces builds the atmospheric emotions that support the activities of spaces.

PERSPECTIVE 01 - ramp entry An anticipating gateway will lead a person into the underground through the self-directed dark ramp coming from an exposed space into a the covered threshold - the amibiguous space PERSPECTIVE 02 - prayer space Is it public? Is it private? The in-between of the two key spaces, the prayer space is where the ramp leads to. Mainly lit by the candles, the dimmed space occupies a person that would want to be alone but also together in putting forward their beliefs. PERSPECTIVE 03 - cave space This would be the enclosed area of the space. It is mostly directed for a person who are bothered with the existence of other person. As much as an introvert wants to feel embraced and protected, the existence of bright direct light is an essential to remind their needs of positivity. S(h)elfless is there to be a place for them to hide and express themselves behind the historic religious items which is a source of information for those who seek.

Human body Human body as an object doesn’t reflect a sensorial perception. It is the subject and the relationship between them that creates an emotion. Similar to the situation of being on the theatre stage. “When we speak of man and space, it sounds as though man stood on one side, space on the other. Yet space is not something that faces man. It is neither an external object nor an inner experience but is an exchange of object and subject.” Martin Heidegger The responding instinct feeling and emotion to the subject, therefore, is an accumulated emotion and is a result of an evolutionary programming. Cultural, social and environmental factors had inspired or discouraged this evolution. Atmosphere Atmosphere similarly is an exchange between material and the immaterial realm of human perception, its experiential creations. Atmosphere as an experiential dimension that automatically perceived in an unconscious manner like our emotions. The atmosphere of a house is what we call home. In other words, the aim of house is to strengthen the experience of the real and provide pathway to the imaginative dimensions. “The chief benefit of the house [is that] the house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. The house is one of the greatest powers of integration for the thoughts, memories and dreams of mankind.”Gaston Bachelard Home The inner house is a space where reflects my personal daydreaming, thoughts and memories. The house embodies an atmosphere that comforts my soul and inspires my imaginations. A space that is enriched with comfort, senses and emotions in which defines my individual existential footholds. A place where mood and ambient shall grasped in a whole body of materials, rhythm and illumination. This senses dwell in memories, time and repetition. While memories initiate the design, time and repetition will grow the sensorial theme around it. Subterranean room will use my deepest imaginary fantasies to create a space to disconnect from the real world. A space where I can dwell without any interruption to seek my own relationship with myself and reflect on my theories. This space will eliminate elements of distractions in stages within the transition to the utmost disconnection. Light, sound, materials and paths are few design media in which will be affected. The ambient of this space then will gradually transforms toward a reconnection to the world. As of our cultural and social manner we seek traces of past life because we feel safe and enriched to be part of that temporal realm.

Yokohama Terminal
Yokohama Terminal was the product of inventive architectural methodology thinking designed by Foreign Office Architects(FOA) in 1995. It represented an emergent typology of transportation infrastructure. The enormous 430 meters project located in Japan. The appearance of the terminal was made possible only by using advanced computer technology. The origami shaped ceiling spans over 35m and using the folding structure it distributes the loads through the surfaces, moving them diagonally to the ground. http://architectuul.com/architecture/yokohama-port- terminal

Introverted Library
This object is a self standing bookshelf with a comfortable sitting area. The design was derived from the concept of reading novels and transferring into our inner imaginative space. While the bookshelf itself creates a boundary from the outside world, it provides comfort sitting/ laying position to maintain a relaxing and secure atmosphere to the user. The design is flexible in term of being open or closed to the surrounding area. A railing timber slide is created to adjust the space as suits the user. Dimmed light fitting around the shelves also provides vibrancy and lighting to the centre of the object. The height of the seat, shelves and total height is designed based on the standard human scale in different positions.

A Place of Detachment
Subterranean room will use my deepest imaginary fantasies to create a space to disconnect from the real world. This space will eliminate elements of distractions in stages 1 to 6 within the transition to the utmost disconnection. The main entrance is by the staircase that gradually eliminates the vision from the open nature into a doomed and darker space. This transition is leading toward the introverted space which holds the designed object, the introverted library. The ambient in this space is very focused and directional. Passing by the Library space, there are two paths. One is the Introverted stairs that take us to the Personalised working space. Another is the White stairs that is the returning path toward the Extroverted socialising space. The lighting, colours and texture is designed according to the desired mood. The final stage is the point of reconnection. It is surrounded by the signs of nature, the crafted wall, natural light and the crowd of people.

The reflective House FATIMAH AL-AMEEN Brief The inner house is a house that reflects my personality in its physical and spatial appearance. It is an introverted house where it gains stimulation from inner reflections. The inner world where actions happens from inside and work its way towards out. A home that protects its sensorial heart. The house is introvert in its physical nature, where it shuts its views and features from the public and grows a rich atmosphere inside for its private clients. The introvert house offers both moments of celebrating familyhood and moments of intimacy within its spaces. My overarching aim is to integrate the traditional introvert housing with modern Australian design living. In action, I will use the principals of Islamic traditional architecture of introvert houses in creating spaces and the envelope. And will explore the Australian architecture in creating the internal ambient and atmosphere for a family living. 1. Traditional introvert houses_ Entry/ Courtyard/ Unexposed/ openings only to the courtyard/ hierarchy of spaces 2. Australian living_ seamless connection to nature/ use of industrial and rustic timber/ large open living area and kitchen/ local vegetation/ outdoor sitting area/ Memories helped me to design the spaces interconnected and seamless within the house. A visual and spatial continuity within the internal spaces and the courtyard from all around will stimulate the atmosphere of the house. Sequential thresholds would connect the inner spaces together and create a transition between one ambient to another.

Brief
228
Home is the container of emotions If I live in an attic under a steel sheet roof, the most enjoyable and strongest experience occurs during a storm. When the rain hits the roof, the house amplifies the feeling of warmth and protection. If I live in a high-rise building, the most peaceful and happiest experience happens on a sunny day when the sun shines on the balcony inside the glass curtain, I groom my dog. In the modern house, the house does faithfully perform the duties of the living machines: they are well designed, attractive, cheap, spacious, and open to fresh air and sunlight. However, do these houses warrant the soul to live in them? People live in these houses, but they don’t live in them. A home should be a place where, after moving away, I may not remember the exact shape or layout of the building, but I do remember the feeling of home clearly. House is in the eyes of the some architects have continuity spacious, bright, clean standard. However, it is not large French windows coupled with a spacious layout equals a warm and comfortable home feeling in everyone’s eyes. These architects often lack empathy for the occupants, and the appearance of home should not be driven by the architect’s personal vision or outlook on life. Home is not an object, not a architecture, but a dispersed and complicated environment. Peter Zumthor said, “I enter a building, see a room, and in the fraction of a second have this feeling about it.” This kind of feeling is complex, the multi-sensory integration process. This feeling judgment is a complex, multi-sensory fusion process, which is composed of numerous factors, such as the form and material of the room, the placement of the furniture, the external weather, temperature, the movement and posture of the user. These factors are directly integrated into a picture of atmosphere, feeling or emotion. The house blends the pivture of memories and images, desires and fears, past and present. House is the sum of the pictures of one’s experience, which helps us remember who we are.

Box Model
The architecture I did box model is the Fundacao Ibere Camargo by Alvaro Siza. Alvaro Siza used both straight and curvy elements inside the architecture. There is no enclosed space in the museum. All the space are separated by parapet. It just block people movement but allow people to see through the museum. He used white color to express all the vertical elements like walls and handrail and apply wood to the horizontal elements. It give the architecture a kind of contrast. The wooden floor slab and white wall repeat for three times. It provide an aesthetics of repetition. Repetition and symmetry often endow the monumental and solemn experience to the architecture. On the other side of the architecture is the curvy walkway. The curvy walkway disappear behind the curved wall which give people aftertaste and imagination space.

It all give users different experience. The area among the three clothes can be used as storage. Also change the different kind of material such as membrane, elastic fabric may provide the chair more experience.

Home is the container of emotions. Everyone in different stages of life will have different experiences even in the same space. The relationship between human experience and space is complex. This experience and atmosphere is related to behavior, not an object or a visual or graphical element. The phenomenology of architecture is based on verbs rather than nouns. Our strongest emotion is the act of entering, not the door; It’s the act of looking out the window, not the window itself. Architects have no way of deciding what kind of memories the people who see such Spaces will have, but they can guide the users into the same posture.

We have minds live in bodies, and we have bodies live in rooms. Rooms coherent in buildings and then the citys Architecture can be seen as human’s second body What kind of world do we want to make? Architecture shapes our cities and our lives I recorded my time in one isolation day But there is no other day like that day Days areresemble that day I found that every day seems like a cycle from room to room, Almost repeating the events of the previous day What if I hadn't been isolated Looking back on my previous life, the cycle of home and school. From home to school from school to home Everyday life is repeated day by day Therefore, I want to use the space of repeated stacking, In which the objects repeatedly stacked are placed Seeking changes in the stacking Hoping to live in the repetition can have some breakthroughs

With the development of urbanization, the living space is smaller and smaller. And the items will be accumulated over time, and the room space is limited. The room become more and more crowed over time. What I want is to get more storage space, the room space is limited, I don't want the object take up a lot of space. So I wanted to make an object that could combine storage space with other finctions. Even I can make everything to be storge space by using this object

SUBTERRANEAN ROOM REPETITIONS OF DAILY LIFE
I recorded my time in isolation and found that every day seems like a cycle from room to room, almost repeating the events of the previous day. And then I thought, what if I hadn't been isolated, looking back on my previous life, the cycle of home and school. Everyday life is repeated day by day. what is repetitions of daily life. When I make object, I hope to make an object that can constitute any furniture, and use an object to form different Spaces for different uses through different combinations. Constantly repeating the same objects, constantly piling up, just like our daily life and the constant accumulation of objects. Therefore, I want to use the space of repeated stacking, in which the objects repeatedly stacked are placed, seeking changes in the stacking, and also hoping to live in the repetition can have some breakthroughs

Statement
We are living in a society by which consumption and excess have become a habitual aspect of everyday life. The state of consumerism is such that our desire for a constant upgrade in lifestyle leaves us within a world where material objects outlive the utility that we have for them. The by
capacity to disposability
consume and
is
accompanied impermanence.
As a result, we have departed from the need for fixed environments that constrain us to a state of perpetuity. Our accustomed behavoiur of ignorant excess has given rise to an eternally replaceable world, in which the consequences of this system are becoming increasingly apparent. Rite house is an ironic commentary and critical reflection on the nature of the modern lifestyle and its self-destructive cycle. Perpetual decay juxtaposes the illusion of permanence, while drawing awareness to the individual behavioural components that are a summation of the way that we live. In isolation, they appear to have inconsequential impacts, though once consolidated into a mode of habitual practice, their drastic ramifications are realised. The the

BagsvĂŚrd Church
Bagsvaerd Church by Jorn Utzon, completed in 1976 in Copenhagen, exhibits an unassuming exterior, though once inside, a mesmerising interior space is presented. Industrial precast concrete panels within a structural frame on the intensely juxtaposes a dynamic and fluid interior space of in-situ cast concrete - explicitly presenting a design process that begins from the inside and works out. An awareness of constant oscillation between compression and expansion occurs when moving through the space, while the curvilinear elements sequentially reveal aspects of the architecture, creating a sense of progression and journey throughout the building.

Vanity Station
Through the everyday ritual of hand washing, Vanity Station, gives the user a choice between preservation and consumption. With use over time, one is reborn while the other deteriorates. The sink is fabricated with a sunken drain and shallow basin, allowing Soap Sink to become more functional and desirable until a certain point, at which point the fatal consequences of the choice to consume beyond reasonable means becomes apparent.

Discrete modules that are prefabricated and interchangeable, offer a solution to the fickle aspects of life. Fabricated from polycarbonate, which is entirely recycleable, and cross-laminated timber, which is a sustainable building solution to alternatives, these modeules offer a logical answer to the ever-changing customaries of the modern lifestyle.
