An Reciprocal Relationship for Events Exchange AUD Building Design Sutdio 412 Instructor: Katy Barkan Winter 2016
Today, a library is conceived as one of the most common representa tional forms of public space. It has to be consistent with the metropoli tan reality and highlighted by a sizeable void. More importantly, it should not be symbolically isolated but engaged and assessable by the neighborhood. The library should be a place of access to information and serve the city 24/7 The library evolves in its typology, and it is conceived as an agglomeration of platforms for social life and renewed to become more relevant to daily experiences. Therefore, my aim is to create different typological space that can enhance visitor's experience by exploring the interaction between two reciprocal building entities which are column and core. By introducing the diagonal cores, the neutrality of columns is broken down and generate various typology which defines the hierarchy and programs as well. Furthermore, the irregular layout of column grid will ref1ect on the facade design, which can implies the interior space from outside world. Generally a neutral system of grid and core will produce a typical plan in which indeterminacy happens on all aspect such as program, space hierarchy and boundary of movement. This project concerns with core to grid relationship in which how do these two reciprocal entities will affect and impact both the program layout and human movement.

Congestion not only happen between buildings, it also happens on all levels of built objects. Thus, by applying the urban congestion type onto the site, from which i can constitute an alternative reality that is invented and designed with overly densed objects, as well as creating different scenarios.

Other than the one plumbing window, walled-in w are also present on the southwestern and south facades. Their only purpose is to continue the rh second floor windows.
b.
Some of its walls are exposed brick, others are p over, and many more have a wooden lattice where wythe would otherwise be.
c.
In order to accomplish the goal of congestion, borrowed urban objects are applied onto the site and classfied as both indifferent plan and reciprical plan.
c.
Layer replacements occur in wall sections for no nical reasons. These idiosyncrasies contribute uniqueness of Villa Schwob.
d.
The urban matrix is extracted into simplified plan that shows the driving force of each spacial condition.

e.
By identifying both Indifferent and Reciprocity, and apply borrowed plan onto the site, various gaps are created and led to a new type of spatial condition which is conflict.
Wall layer replacement happened accordingly ba the programmatic demand. Different wall types th be catogorized into wall stawches.

The materiality of the new wall is more diverse predecessor. They were all chose from various sw in the aim of making a more efficient and cos section in comparison to the original one.
j.
Another constraint was that the new wall needed superior R-values to the precedent. This rule stem Le Corbusier’s own interest in thermal perfor evident in his early double skin facade design. In h improvements range from slightly better to vastly
k.
At Villa Schwob, Le Corbusier separated structu enclosure into different performative layers of t section, thereby realizing a free facade. In here, t was extended into the free facade itself, dividing frames, insulators and membranes. Just as Le C er’s concrete frame gave him more freedom to ch facade type, in this case framing the free provided more freedom to choose its layer comp
