CARVEDSPACE MUYBRIDGE STUDIES
ARC 201 l FALL 2013 Analyzing the spacial requirements and boundaries of human activity through the photographic studies of motion conducted by photographer Eadweard Muybridge and in return creating a dwelling that responds to these boundaries. This is created by taking a 6’x8’x6’ rectangular prism, and transforming it through two simple shifts and then carving the space required to perform certain human activity to inform form and space.

10 CONCEPT The process of studying the cubist painting Bottles & Knife by Juan Gris and assigning the different ranges in value found within the painting a topographical elevation to create a whimsical landscape to explore the idea of how architecture should work cohesively with the land to create an almost seamless intervention. The painting would also be explored using diagrams such as regulating lines, repetitive to unique, geometry, and figure ground. These diagrams would help influence desicions on placement and spacial qualities that would inform the future internvention. The placement of the intervention, which would be a museum that created a promenade through the space and highlighted Juan Gris’ fragmentation of objects, was decided by the idea of nestling the architecture within the two bottles found within the painting. These two objects created a tophographical canyon which allowed the intervention to be nestled within the land, following the natural regulating lines of the painting or in this case unique landscape. It allowed for unique changes in levels revealing controlled decisions made by Juan Gris who used contrast and the fragmentation of light to change how someone can percieve everyday objects. Within the architecture of the museum, large gestures, whether massive walls, or fragmentations of spaces, reveal= the findings found when analysising the painting.

Overlaying site plan to show correlation between diagram studies of the cubist painting and the intervention on the site. Strongest relationships can be seen with regulating lines and the geometry diagram. With the figure ground one can see how the intervention covers an expansive array of tonal values which translated into the highest and lowest grade levels of topography.

16 CONCEPT Museum of the City explored the urban syntax of the city by mapping and analyzing the current context aganist its historical fabric. The diagrams created informed the creation of a precinct model, which would be a collaboration between me and Stephanie Heimstead, that embodied the urban fabric of a particular area of Historical Charleston. Through the synthesis of information, a museum would be created that enhanced the experience of the site, the views from the site, and the overall atmosphere of the city of Charleston. The manipulation of three elements: the volume of line, the volume of center, and the wall of containment would come together to create the Museum of the City. Given the precinct that contained St. Philip’s Church and given a site that was next to the Circular Congregation Church, I wanted to create a museum that not only made use of the linear site, but also revealled views to iconic buildings and sites of Charleston. The volume of line would provide a gathering space for those who came in, and the wall of containment contains all the vertical circulation which lead to framed views, one of which is located at the volume of center and the others at both ends of the wall of containment. The three key framed views would be towards St. Philip’s Church, the Circular Congregational Church and its graveyard, and the view to St. Michael’s Church.

SITE ANALYSIS Through site analysis, I wanted to discover components that would help create an informative design. Throughout NC State’s campus one will find, in the midst of brick buildings, courtyards designed to break the feeling of academia and allow students to relax and become a part of other student activities. It became evident that there was not just one single type of building orientation but what did influence my deciWsion making would be solar orientation. NC State’s campus has a significant amount of exposure to northern and southern light, preferable in most educational settings so I wanted to take advantage of that despite being given a specific site within NC State’s campus that did not favor these cardinal directions. The site itself, found between SAS and Kemphoefner, is surrounded by other academic buildings but to the south one starts to find residential buildings making the decision to split the site as following: the northernmost part of the site would be devoted to the College of Design expansion, and the southern part of the site would hold the new residential hall.
