1.0 THREE RELATIONSHIPS

The three tectonic experience with “Point/Line/Plane,” “Mass” and “Frame & Infill” have been helpful in practising model making skilks and forming my concept of final secret project. They helped in the way that they broke down the complicated architectural projects into small practices so that could achieve the completion of final project step by step comprehensively.

My POINT / LINE / PLANE model is designed as a combination of levels with each element corresbond with one human activity: plane is where people could lie down and have a rest, whcih has the most area; lines are narrow and is for walking towards the higher level; point is at the top and is the small space where people could stand or sit on it.

1.2 MASS DISGUISE PRIMITIVE DARKNESS

Mass is something solid, heavy and tough, which reminds me of rocks. Although the spaces hollowed out from the rocks are mainly underground, on the surface, it remains the normal look of the rocks, whcich can be seen as disguise.

Hong Meigui—one of the largest cave rooms in the world People can feel the mass inside the space which were carved into the rock, creates a sense of primitive. The secret space is isolated and full of darkness because secrets are always dark and are kept very deeply of ones inside.

1.3 FRAME & INFILL TREASURE HUNT EXPLORATION CIRCULATION

19

Frame defines the area of movement and Infill makes interesting variations and segregations within the space Treasure hunt: full of possibilities and surprise Secrect is something to be explored and to be defined by oneself. In this case, secret place is a small space which only accommodates one person. It is a place for being alone, thinking and maybe meditating. or, simply just a place for enjoying the sunshine and the view on top.

The journey of the hunt is treasure as well.

2.4 SECRET CONFUSION DAZZLE UNPREDICABILITY

My design agenda is to design a pavilion which hold a secret by creating possibilities and uncertainties within the space. The unpredicability and dazzling would create confusion within the space and prevent people from finding out about the secret.

Store Toilets Secret Recording room Section line 32

The pathway is surrouding the site, which means that pedestrians could come from any direction. Therefore, the curvy walls have to be spread out to confuse pedestrians coming from all directions.

With mirror on both sides of the walls, the materiality of mirror would enhance the confusion and dazzling when entering the pavilion.

The mirror can be used as a means of camoufladge as well, for it disappears by reflecting the surrounding environments.

While intending to create possbilities, the outcome has achieved variations in forms as well. Curvy walls have formed enclosured functional spaces: toilets, sheltered place, lockable store and internal store with access to chairs and tables, children’s secret spaces etc.

3.0 REFLECTION

The three tectonics have been helpful and inspiring to me in forming the idea of the final secret project.

It helped in the way that breaks down the complicated architectural projects into small practices so that could achieve the completion of final project step by step. Doing the blog entries gave me opportunities to explore a range of architectural projects, which was insipiring as well.

Taking my first architecture studio require me to improve not only my model making skill (both physical and digital), but also the ability of forming and pushing the concepts and ideas. I found it very helpful consider the potentiality when doing sketch models and make conceptacles to experience different concepts before go any deeper. Specifically, I have experienced manipulations of spaces underground and above-ground. I learnt to find connections between prevous projects and take the valuable parts which could go further. Everytime when I got stuck, think of what kind of spaces I want to create and start adding things into the prototype helps me visulize my idea and get a better outcome.
