Edited by Juliรกn Varas


Mies van der Rohe, Glass skyscraper. 1922.


“Mies has transformed ordinary buildings into poetry, but his theories, as such, could be applied to half of the factories in this country too… Mies based his art on three things: economy, science and technology, and, of course, he was right. But that is precisely what bores me, what bores us all”. (1) I do not respect Mies, I love Mies. I have studied Mies, excavated Mies, reassembled Mies. I have even cleaned Mies. (2)

[Mrs. Farnsworth is] a highly intelligent, now disillusioned woman, who spent $70.000 building a one-room house that is nothing but a glass cage on stills. (3) Those critics who have fixed their attention on Mies’s slabs, plateaus, and closure-refusing but barrier-creating quasi walls -with their obsessive, multiple curtain and screen effects - have seen the works as Trojan horses, offering shimmering chimeras of flight and freedom but delivering only frustration, obstruction, monotony and intractability. Those who have focused on trajectories -the winding intervals and synaptic spaces - have found something else, a type of flow that is certainly slow, but steady and redolent with the democratic values and the capacious imagination and explicit materiality of the preceding generation’s architecture... (4)

As Mies van der Rohe’s work extends from his early housing studies and the perfection of Brno, it becomes less preoccupied with human activities, more general, more abstract, and through this anonymity gathers to it new alliances: the bussiness, the corporate and the organizations worlds. The architecture that has disengaged itself from its inspired roots in the senses individual pleasure, touch, feeling and sight - has found through an accumulation of its inherent ambiguities unsuspected and chillier usages.

research


PRINCIPLES. Miesuse is a design research project that I developed in collaboration with a team of architecture students at Cornell University between January and May 2006. The project is part of an investigation on techniques of formal production in architecture, and it seeks to establish lines of continuity and transformation on the basis of spatial concepts developed by Mies van der Rohe during the period 1920-1945. The overall character of the work is determined by a simultaneous interest in the rigor and precision of polytechnic education and on the ambition for innovation that is the hallmark of the liberal arts. From a cognitive and epistemological viewpoint, the main issue of the research is then focused on the generation of projective novelty, through the application of a model of determinism that operates by optimizing performances, i.e. nonrepresentationally. The cornerstone of this instrumentality lies in harnessing the potential of generative processes, which is deemed higher than that of ideas, in the production of qualitative leaps in a given material condition. Thereby linked are both the distancing of the relationship between author and project, as well as the departure from the modernist agenda according to which innovation is part of an external process (hence Le Corbusier’s “Architecture or Revolution�). Today the discipline of architecture is not categorically different from other fields of elevated technical specificity. The

case-studies that integrate this research are therefore committed to focusing on a reduced set of variables whose impact is studied and verified through a hybrid model that incorporates quantitative and analytical techniques from the applied sciences. This model, however, seeks neither to produce truthful statements, nor mere utility, but rather, it is driven by principles of affectivity: novelty, difference, excess, robustness, consistency‌

68/89. MIESUSE belongs to a line of research that has been developed during the last fifteen years by architects of the second generation of late capitalism. Linked to different strands and derivations of advanced forms of materialism, such as cybernetics and systems theory, these experiences are associated to what could well be identified as the generation of 1989 . The coincidence of the downfall of communist Europe and the end of postmodernism (and deconstruction as its last straw) goes far beyond a mere synchrony. In fact, it points to a profound historical fold where the failure of the project of May 1968 gives way to the emergence of a pragmatist Zeitgeist, one that distances itself both from modern utopianism and from the cynicism and criticality of postmodernity. The new disciplinary fabric is characterized by the reformulation of certain ideological alliances: from Robert Venturi’s Complexity and Contradiction to FOA’s Complexity and Consistency, from Christopher Alexander’s diagrammatic representation to UN Studio’s diagrammatic production, from Aldo Rossi’s urban memory, to Rem Koolhaas’s urban performance. The new map

12 - Nathaniel Jones


displays ruptures and continuities in similar proportions, so there is no place in it for the modernist concept of avant garde. Perhaps the deepest motivation for setting these processes into motion was the exhaustion of the regimes of signification on which architectural representation was grounded. The signifying effects of form had taken control over the whole chain of production, thus obscuring architecture’s performance in the realm of what marxist geographer David Harvey calls absolute space. MIESUSE worked on the assumption that these new alliances constitute a fertile ground for the construction of progressive positions in architecture. Yet, rather than working –as many of those practices did- in a consciously generated disciplinary vacuum, the studio left aside the modernist pretence to tabula rasa in favor of disciplinary continuity: innovation by accretion.

13


MATERIAL. While the parameters of architectural practice and education are usually defined through a combination of programmatic and site-specific requirements, the Studio diverted from that mode by positioning the work of Mies van der Rohe at its point of departure. Although several publications signal today a renewed vitality of his oeuvre, Mies’s original consecration passed all too swiftly. Despite having embodied one of the most uncompromising expressions of the Zeitgeist, Mies’s heyday had resolved itself by the late 1950’s . The radical achievements and formulations of the previous three decades –from the early studies for skyscrapers in Berlin to the rolled steel constructions of the American phase- came to be seen by the emerging postmodern critique as the veritable expression of the mechanistic, bureaucratic nature of modernism. Mies’s seeming disregard for the figurative in favor of a dry material ethic, his efficiency-driven formalism, his disdain for the romantic sensibility, his obsession with rigor and method: these were used as accusations against his project and often against the project of modernism as a whole. Since twenty years ago, when the last wave of studies on Mies took place on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth date, however, the architectonic debate has overcome the deep scepticism toward his work which –in the words of Luis Fernández Galiano- had prompted Mies’s second death.

14


Yet, the contemporary relevance of Mies is not just based on a renewed admiration for a great architect of the past, but on the various ways in which his project has been prolonged, developed and transformed by the advanced architectures of the last fifteen years. Mies’s oeuvre, perhaps more decidedly so than any other modernist architecture, relied for its powerful effects on its extreme reductionism. It idealized figures and tectonic components, in order to generate an hyper-simplified grammar characterized by the construction of categorical oppositions within a coherent Cartesian space. These oppositions are the result of a search for extremes: within the absolute space of a single project, distinctions between plinth, column and roof, or between horizontal and vertical axis, construct clear-cut identities. But oppositions also emerge at a relational level, as a search for ideal formulations that lead Mies to explore the dissolution of the building into a field in the 1920’s or to idealize the object in his American prisms.

Nathaniel Jones - 15


FROM THE TOPOLOGIC DIAGRAM TO THE GEOMETRIC ASSEMBLAGE. The pursuit of the studio consisted in pushing the Miesian principles of coherence and continuity beyond the limits at which the original work had stopped. The extreme application of those principles sought to prolong Mies and, at the same time, to estrange his work from itself by intoxicating it with its own medicine. The differentiation was pursued gradually, by intensifying or slowing down processes, without resorting first hand to qualitative leaps, yet trying to force their occurrence. If Mies’s projects are regarded as architectural forms that have crystallized in relation to a set of behavioral and context-specific parameters, the mesoforms populate a virtual intermediate space of organizational possibilities that opens up as a result of the abstraction and manipulation of such parameters. The research was structured methodologically so that its final output would be a new crystallization based on the dynamic space of the mesoforms. Thus, in its initial stage, the work involved a process of diagramming (as opposed to drawing, which tends to operate as a tracing) programmatic relations, circulatory paths, and surface porosities. These diagrams constituted genetic

16 - Andrew Smith


descriptions of the projects which allowed us to determine a topology of components on which to operate. Each individual project then worked on the relations between topology, geometry and porosity by fixing two systems and freeing the remaining one. The transformation techniques can be summarized in: a) topological reassemblies (a sort of seamless collage of the programmatic components with minimal impact on the geometric grid), b) topological dislocations (elongations and twistings with local or distributed geometric effect), and, c) superficial mutations, both geometric (thickness and proportions) and topologic (number of openings). It is important to notice that the programatic consequences are formalized only after the projects have reached an advanced stage of development. Instead of going after a predefined social goal, the emergent social conditions are investigated as a result of the formal operations of the projects.

17


INDEX AND PROJECT: THE CRITICAL-INSTRUMENTAL LOOP Several architecture practices still operate today based on discoursive models. This is what Sarah Whiting and Robert Somol refer to on their intelligent and provocative attack on the critical project. The main derivations of this 1968 spirited position are, on the one hand, the work of offices such as Diller and Scofidio, as well as certain strongholds of rampant regionalism, and on the other, the indexical approach of the likes of Peter Eisenman. To counter that, Whiting and Somol present the work of OMA as an example of a strictly projective alternative, in other words, an instrument oriented purely toward the exterior of the discipline. It appears as a position that is no longer interested in any form of registration

18 - Victor Tzen


or internal control (which, in itself, is a critique of the discipline), neither according to the semantic model of Diller and Scofidio, nor the syntactic model of Eisenman. But, is it possible to reconcile instrumentality with internal control? How can architecture turn toward its outside, exiting its critical isolation, without either drifting into a purely subjectivist expressionism, or becoming a seemingly objective expression of a set of naturalized external conditions? This theoretical issue was addressed by gradually adopting a model of work in which modernist instrumentality is intensified until its determinism starts to generate non-linear effects: subverting causal determinism without contradicting causality.

(pp. 165, 173, 185) - http://zeus.cs.hartford.edu/~anderson/intro.html Goals: Acquaint yourself with the project of your choice and its author: Generate the raw materials / Introduction to digital computation. Usage: Based on the documentation provided, understand the spatial and functional organization of the project, by re-drawing it on Autocad or Rhino. Choose a fragment of the project and model it three dimensionally using solids (Autocad) or surfaces (Rhino). The accessory elements used to transfer the information from paper to screen should be part of the project. Tracing on the screen not allowed.

22 - Brenda Petroff


Deliverables: 1) Plans and sections of the project. Scale 1:100. 2) A model of a fragment of the project at scales between 1:50 and 1:10. 3) A series of 3 diagrams addressing program (spatial and quantitative), structure, and circulation. 4) Brief oral presentation of the project. Clarity and rigor in the process of geometric reconstruction will be of importance in the evaluation of the exercise. Due: Monday, February 6 1:00 pm. Internal pin-up.

2 - GENERATIVE RULE SYSTEM: Crystalline states (3 weeks) Input: Drawings from exercise 1 - CHU, Karl, “Archeology of the Future”, in Peter Noever (Ed.), Peter Eisenman. Barefoot on White-Hot Walls. MAK & Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern-Ruit, 2004. - VARAS, Julián, “Molecular Landscape”, in TransScape, Nov. 2003. - ZAERA-POLO, Alejandro, “Eisenman’s Machine of Infinite Resistance”, in El Croquis n. 83, 1997. In-class presentations: Rule-based Urbanism (JV) – Sat. 11th – 2:00 pm. Department lectures: Christian Kerez / Claudio Vekstein Reference projects: OMA, Seattle Public Library / FOA, Bundle Tower / Peter Eisenman, Houses I and II. Goals: Re-describe the chosen project by forcing it to emerge through a process of genetic manipulation. (transformation and complexification of simple components)

24 - Andrew Smith


Usage: Simplify the task first by working on a single layer of the project (i.e: structure, enclosure, circulation, services, etc), on an orthographic 2d projection. Describe the organization in a procedural (rather than compositional) mode. Turn all matter-of-factness into explicit decisions determined by a system of rules. The system of production has to be linear at this stage of the work (it can not be based on an overview of the project or a preconceived idea of its final form). Using this technique, match the project’s final form. Refine the system of rules until the results approximate the project with precision. When a layer has been generated successfully move on to other layers, as a derivation of the previous one(s). Deliverables: Organized presentation of at least three different experiments with rule systems, through the following components: 1) Diagrams of the rule systems employed in each case. 2) DIY handbook-style diagrams describing step-by-step the generation of each experiment. 3) At least 3 diagrams addressing the relationship between the sought-for forms, and the results of the experiments. Due: Friday, March 3rd - First interim review.

25


3 - MESOFORMS: Smectic-Nematic states. (4 weeks) Input: Re-description of project based on generative system from exercise two. Lectures: Sanford Kwinter / SERVO - DE LANDA, Manuel, “Deleuze and the Use of the Genetic Algorithm in Architecture” in LEACH, Neil, (Ed.), Designing for a Digital World, John Wiley & Sons, London, 2002. - KWINTER, Sanford, “Mies and Movement”, in MERTINS, Detlef, (Ed.) The Presence of Mies, Princeton Architectural Press, New York, 1994. Goals: Investigate the range of adaptability of the project based on the re description of it generated in the previous step. Force the project ot mutate beyond its envelope of perfomance. Usage: Introduce a simple problem into the project by modifying some of

26 - Victor Tzen


its conditions (functional, technical, structural, site-specific, etc) or stating a new desired program / performance. Re-generate the project using the description system created on the previous exercise, but employing the new settings. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary, consistently increasing the preassure placed on the project. Re-define the settings as often as necessary. Deliverables: All of the experiments of this phase will be presented with reference both to the parameters under investigation and to the original configuration of the project. The scales and modes of representation should be consistent with those used since phase I. Due: Saturday, April 1st - Second interim review.

27


4 - FRAMING: Evaluation and rationalization (3 weeks) Input: All previous work. Template for final collective book. Goals: Develop own evaluation criteria & rationalize the operations of the project. Determine the differential conditions and the net gain vis-a-vis the source material of the investigation. Incorporate material information and production constraints.Frame the investigation. Usage: In this phase it will be important to update the historical conditions of the project, such that the testing process is oriented to the production of a building that is specific within contemporary givens. In other words: How do changes in lifestyle, technology, or material life affect the project? The production of the semester will be documented and edited for the purposes of presentation and external evaluation. Deliverables: Comprehensive description of the project in physical and digital formats, including a systematic account of the research process. The scales and modes of representation should be consistent with those used since phase I. Output format: Letter-sized format booklet based on template + physical model(s) + Digital presentation.

theory


CYBERNETIC CONCEPTS Functioning as a counterpart to the studio, the seminar exposes participants to some of the theoretical and architectural precedents that the design work seeks to build upon. Encompassing a selection of texts and projects, as well as references from of art and engineering, the seminar contributes both a rigorous working terminology, and a set of resonating images. This loosely structured package works as a starting point for a small-scale investigation that augments the scope of the studio project. The seminar should thus be regarded as a space to sharpen students’ argumentative and critical skills. If the studio sessions are geared toward the actualisation of a series of abstract hypotheses and diagrams, the seminar should reinforce the capacity to articulate concepts and images in a manner that charges both with generative potential. The universe of sources/references of the course constitutes a fragmentary rendering of the post-deconstructivist disciplinary landscape. Although it can be argued that the architectural processes of the last fifteen years can hardly be construed as a homogenous or unidirectional movement, the seminar singles out a number of concepts whose widespread utilization denotes a Deleuzian plane of consistency.

Even if short historical

perspective might discourage conclusions about a structural nature of these phenomena, it is possible to recognize the overall loss of aura of the manual paradigm, in the face of the digital, as the reality where most

of these processes ultimately cohere. While this shift does not necessarily imply the defunction of the hand as a tool of production (a new interface, the mouse-screen, simply replaces the pencil-paper), it irreversibly transfers skill from it to the eye and to the brain (and this, in turn, breeds news skills in the hand). The main effect of this process is the hard-wiring of the digital diagram in all forms of organization-related thinking. In other words, every form of production must now be read through the informational lens. Developing over 5 weeks, each seminar session is centered around a specific topic of discussion. Although every student is be expected to be well acquainted with the weekly readings and projects, each session will be led by a team of two persons, who will be responsible for introducing the topic to the rest of the class. This introduction will consist in an oral presentation based on project images and diagrams, and should not extend for more than 30 minutes. Special consultancy meetings will be scheduled on Monday evenings (flexible) to discuss the presentations for the following Wednesday. The texts included in the reader should be considered as the base for a more extensive research to be conducted by each team, expanding and customising the range of textual and image-references. Because the seminar will focus on the instrumentalization of informational and

35


cybernetic concepts, we will skip over a direct engagement with their core definitions, assuming that some background reading will be conducted in parallel to the weekly assignments. The following books are great for attaining a perspective of the central notions of cybernetics: GREGORY BATESON, Steps to an Ecology of Mind.NORBERT WIENER,The Human use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society.

The House for a Childless Couple (Exhibition House) was displayed as a part of the Werkbund’s Berlin Building Exhibition of 1931. The exhibit, currated by Mies and Lily Reich explored the theme of “The Dwelling in our Time” including existenzminimum. Lily’s exhibition house was attached to Mies’s, positioned perpendicular to the longest extending wall plane. Chronologically located between the Brick Country Villa and the Barcelona Pavilion, the House incorporates the enclosed courtyards of the former and the flowing spaces of the latter, reflecting Mies’ interest in conflating interior and exterior space. Programmatically, however, the House maintains several clear divisions, most notably between public and private. Distinctions are achieved visually, the clearest example being the bathroom that separates the two beds in the single bedroom. This places emphasis on the inhabitants of the House and its resultant double occupancy.

Movement Paths

Circulation occurs in two ways: visually (scanning) and physically (movement). Scanning assumes Robin and Pat know the location of their destination; openings are detected and movement adheres to a comfortable distance from the boundaries.

Robin and Pat’s movements impact the materiality of the house’s envelope, redefining new usable space.

Heavily

trafficked areas develop an increased volume. Scan paths are incorporated as visual tunnels that reflect the height difference between Robin and Pat and represent the condition of double occupancy.

In the evaluation process, the most frequented areas of the house are reincorporated as usable space and exterior space is reclaimed through a path that allows for complete circumambulation. Finally, the material pattern of the original house is projected onto the surfaces of the excavated solid, simplifying the void and solid sections of the home.

reconfiguring the prototype christopher mascari


The fifty by fifty foot house was a housing prototype designed for America by Mies Van der Rohe. The building like all prototypes was designed without a site. Although it was siteless; its all glass faรงade created a direct visual relationship with whatever context it was placed. The vision into and within played an important role in the placement of program, partitions, and furniture. Their placement is not based upon a specific site, but upon a relative relationship between public to private. The prototype was developed around a flexible program which was interchangeable and adaptable to the family unit proposed to live within. While the family living within might change the house adapted within the limits of the fifty by fifty foot square. The various elements of furniture, partitions, and walls were used to divide the space based on a visual continuity or discontinuity determined by the need of the space. Some spaces protected from view others fully exposed. The elements were moved around in only two dimensions.

The visual information was extracted from the building in order to understand the relationship of these program elements to their position, exposure, and adjacency. This was done by creating a 100’ diameter circle around the building and determining the level of exposure and area visible from 24 specific vantage points. This information was transferred onto a linear strip. This information contained information about vertical surface and obstructions as well as the relationship between programmed areas. The prototype’s all glass walls created an exposed house which was better suited to the rural than an urban or suburban environment. The prototype was analyzed based upon this visual information and transformed into a house with two opposing views. This allowed for multiple prototypes to be lined up next to one another without compromising views or privacy from their adjacency. Space became layered yet interconnected through rules established to maintain physical connections between spaces. The reconfiguration produced varying heights and positions that created visual obstructions between spaces while maintaining views to the exterior.

ribbon insolation brenda petroff


Mies van der Rohe designed a series of studies for single-story courtyard houses from 1931 to 1938 with one, two and three courts, the most refined of which was the House with Three Courts of 1934. In Mies’ conception of the courtyard house the court or garden is displaced from the center towards the external walls without sacrificing its central importance as a means of ensuring seclusion and intimacy in the private house for one inhabitant; he thought that the court house in this form would be an ideal solution for urban living.

Mies believed that the essential character of this house is made possible by the relationship between the placement of the courtyards and the large sheets of glass, resulting in nautral lighting conditions that significantly enhance the quality of the space. Almost every space and building element can be perceived simultaneously from anywhere in the house. Although the house was intended to be inserted into any rectangular plot of land and at any orientation, direct sunlight penetrates all of the programmatic areas in a specific order, alluding to an ideal orientation of the house.

100 - Brenda Petroff


101


The house was intended to be duplicated and inserted into an urban grid; theoretically this could happen at any of the four cardinal orientations. Each orientation results in completely different spatial qualities produced by direct sunlight. This analysis begins by diving the house into spaces defined by function, and calculating the number of direct sunlight hours in each space and the times at which these hours occur. The house is sectioned into ten spaces and each one is assigned an “importance factor� for natural light, based on the activities performed in each space and conventional times of use.

The sun study is undertaken on December 21, the day of fewest sunlight hours and the geographical location is set in Berlin, the city in which the house was designed. One complete study is caculated for each of the cardinal orientations. In addition, a vertical section of the house is defined and unfolded along the primary axis of circulation and traverses every programmatic area. For the purposes of this analysis, the average sunlight hours for each space is assumed to occur within this 1 meter strip of space.

The envelope of the house is transformed by a continuously-folding tectonic ribbon, which bifurcates, inclines, and widens to allow more or less sunlight to penetrate the spaces, through openings in both the vertical and horizontal segments. The single ribbon is the product of four individual transformations, each based on the additional hours of sunlight required.

The initial ribbon moves only in 90 degree folds and maintains its 1 meter width. The least optimal orientation of the house serves as the basis for transformation, with the “desired orientation� as the goal for sunlight hours. Based on the desired lighting conditions, the ribbon undergoes a series of four manipulations controlled by two variables: the ribbon width and the angle (incline) of the ribbon in the y-axis. The product is a continuouslyfolding, structural, tectonic ribbon which grows and turns to generate the form of a house, becoming vertical to define existing programmatic areas and plot boundaries, yet still satisfying the required number of sunlight hours at any orientation. The ribbon, of varying widths and inclinations creates vertical and horizontal spaces, acting as the floors, walls, and ceilings, and sometimes all three.

Intensity Enhanced

The house is separated into three zones of activity based not on the program of the room, but on the spatial qualities of the area.The materiality of the walls, size of the room, and the degree to

Concealed

which it is connected to other areas determines how actively the space will be used,

and

therefore which program is most suitable. By classifying each area of the Hubbe House and

Limited

evaluating the rooms based on properties of enclosure, the intensity reveals not only how much the rooms are used, but also how the house functions as a whole. The thickness of

the wall compared to the area of the usable floor space suggests how claustrophobic the space can seem. >

125


126 - Heather D. Beck


127


A closet with 12 inch thick walls would make a person feel much more claustrophobic than a garage with 1 inch walls. The next consideration of enclosure is the materiality of the walls. An opaque wall not only provides a visual barrier between you and the surroundings, but it is also a physical obstruction. The final category determines the amount of visibility in a room based on the transparency of the enclosure. These three properties of claustraphobia, barricading, and visibility, determined whether the area is a high intensity, medium intensity, or low intensity zone. If a piece meets the conditions of all three evaluations, it is classified as a low intensity piece. These are the most claustrophobic, barricaded spaces. If none of the conditions are met the space becomes a high intensity area. These are the largest, most open areas in the house. Finally, if only 1 or 2 conditions are met, the piece is classified as medium intensity. Often the medium intensity areas are transition spaces between the high and the low intensity rooms. Adding the intensities to the reading of the house, shows that there is a clear correlation between the program of the house and the spatial qualities that inform how much activity will occur in the area.

Re-Read Re-Shape Re-Build

Is this an unfinished building or a diagram? Seen alternately as an expressionist formal explosion or a Nietzschean thesis on solitary living, the Brick Villa Country Villa offers few clues to any intended use, site or client. And yet, there seems to be more in the few existing drawings than meets the eye. We have all seen the plan, but now it is time to READ the field.

RE-READ

One of Mies’ most enigmatic-yet-compelling ideas, the Brick

Country Villa project from 1924 seems to call for a radical new form of living. Programmatically indeterminate and non-site specific, the building seems to flow into an abstract paper landscape; geometry brackets a field of possible phenomenal interactions who’s potential was never realized. Taking this “field” condition as a starting point, the goal of this project, through the utilization of diagrammatic methods and manipulation, is to take the Villa’s internal logic and explode it to the greatest possible extent; to diffuse the structure and the site into a “condition for the possibility of…”

Beginning with a series of rule-based, diagrammatic

analyses of the circulation and interior/exterior threshold conditions, a number of potential “topologies” were created and evaluated by the amount of spatio-circulatory connections they engender. The most interconnected topology was selected and the original programmatic spaces were re-inserted into the topological “skeleton”. At this point, the diagram was given an “unofficial” spatialization based on an extension and expansion of the thresholds and was subsequently physically modeled at ¼”=1’ scale. In a similar manner, the diagram was used to create the site condition as well. Since there was essentially no original site for the project, the 3 radiating walls in the original structure were taken to extend to the property lines and that the property was rectangular. This bordering allowed for the creation of the radiating “threshold extensions”; they become “chunks of site” extending from the thresholds to the property borders. As the building is manipulated, these extensions remain “linked” to their origin thresholds but become reconfigured, often colliding and intersecting with each other and the “building” itself.

Stripped

of

all

original

formal qualities and reduced to a circulatory skeleton, we must perform the task of the forensic analyst; to take the diagramatic genes and what we know about the original Brick Villa and create a new, speculative proposal. Since it is the most striking features of the original design, we will begin with the creation of a new SHAPE.

Where spatial blocks intersect, they become displaced; the smaller blocks are placed uppon the larger ones, and the entry/exit points remain on the same. The resultant spaces form a second level of the project, one that was hinted at in the original plan, but never completely developed. The chart and accompanying diagrams on the opposite page details the spatial and programmatic changes that took place when the rooms were reorganized and the thresholds extended. The program descriptions remain speculative, and may possibly guide further research.

210 - Victor Tzen


Mies’ court-house projects began as exercises for his students at the Bauhaus. His students were given this design problem with the parameters of an economical house with individual gardens/courts on a small plot of land defined by perimeter walls. He brought this idea of the court-house to the Illinois Institute of Technology after he started teaching there in the 40’s. He began to explore this idea personally in several iterations culminating in The Court-House with Garage. This plan is highly uncharacteristic of Mies as he introduces dual axis negotiated by curves which are dictated by the movement of the automobile. This highly unusual and sophisticated design by Mies may indicate an interesting shift in ideology from his earlier practice. The shift within the plan itself is indicated through the negotiation of the double axis. The second axis, first being Mies’ Cartesian grid, is introduced into the house through the path of the automobile which cuts directly into the heart of the design. The path acts like a spine, bending and twisting the plan against the “natural” state of the first axis. The dialogue between the two axes, augmented through the movement of the car, can be mapped into a larger extended plane within which exploration into the morphology of the house form, through the manipulation of the path, can be explored.

The importance of the automobile in this court house design by Mies is clearly evident. The rectilinear Miesian grid has been subtly but deliberately rotated and shifted according to the path and turning radius of the automobile. The path also denotes the transition of the single axis into the double which is most clearly

NODE

Taking the understanding and methodology mentioned above coupled with the assumption that Mies’ intention for the design was for it to be replicated in a greater urban field (most likely a rectilinear urban grid of some kind), we can also being to see this abstraction of the house into three components as implying and existence within a greater deleuzian urban field condition. The house is no longer simply a select node on the expanded grid but instead it acts as a crease, a fold which in itself will become the generative basis for an expanded urban field.

-/6).' ).4/ 4(% %80!.$%$ &)%,$ Taking the previous iterations of the unfolded path, further restrictions were placed on the morphology so as to bring about a more pragmatic outcome. The grid lines themselves were the “divisions� of the morphology and the object nodes were not only associated to the path but to each individual grid line as it deformed. Each grid line acts as a solid object, always being influenced by the path and the objects around it but restricting the superposition of one grid line to the other.

House, an interesting relationship seen at the urban scale can be developed. Mies’ houses were meant to exist within an

Keeping the same grid lines, the field is augmented first by the manipulation of the middle unit. From there the two adjacent units will be augmented by the straightening of their respective paths. Therefore the shape and direction of each unit is dependent on the unit adjacent to it, like in the work of Mies. This creates a continuous field into which unit is implanted.

231


Creating the Urban Block

Taking the same logic as in the previous step, The original three units can be expanded into six. This emulates the block condition which was conducive to the Court Houses of Mies. The new block encompasses a much larger range of uses than the original house and begins to inform a new urban typology.

The nodes which were retained through the augmentation have specific programmatic qualities which can be translated back to a architectural plan.

Articulation Articulated program in the field condition

242 - Victor Tzen


Path|Node

The articulation of an individual unit from the abstract to the real is

Unfold

just a singular exploration into the intention of Mies. The power

Field

of his design is in it’s inherent modularity on the urban scale. Each of these units could be easily multiplied to create a

Articulation

urban fabric. What happens then when we take this idea

Expansion

and apply it to the transformed unit?

243


Original Condition:

The re-articulation of the plan was constructed in a similar manner to the original house. The first thing taken into account were the relation of object nodes to the augmented grid lines. Walls and other features that were dependent upon these lines were constructed in relation to them.

Then design liberties were taken with the system of program nodes, grid lines, and habitation intentions in mind. Thus, the following iterations are simply one of many which would be based upon client needs and architectural motives. Yet, inspite of this we can read a range in the mesoforms created through this process. The original Mies house was intended for a single bachelor which inferred a specific programmatic occupancy. So when augmented and expanded, these mesoforms inherit varied programmatic intentions based on its ratio to the original house.

This process brings about six very different ‘houses’. In fact a few of these can’t GUEST SLEEP OCCUPANTS SQFT PERSON even constitute as houses anymore ENTRANCE OCCUPANTS GARAGE OCCUPANTS SQFT PERSON simply because of the unbalance in the KITCHEN OCCUPANTS SQFT PERSON program. (many more beds than parking MAID QUARTER OCCUPANTS SQFT PERSON BATH OCCUPANTS SQFT PERSON spot for example) From the single bachDINING OCCUPANTS SQFT PERSON elor house we have derive a variety of housing typologies simply based upon the straightening of the car path.

Jung Guee Um - 265


The new envelope has 4 different spaces correspondenent to the original programs of Farnsworth House as it has been transformed from the original. 1. Deck is now the open space with stairways. 2. Porch has a roof, but not windows. 3. Inside space is enclosed by a roof and windows. 4. The original core of Farnsworth House has been fragmented as the opaque spaces derrived from the trees, so now it becomes a void in which the new envelope has green space, surrounded by glasses.
