PROJECT3-PRESENTATION

Step1- Concept

• Landscape
• Building should be part of envornment.
• Concentrate more on the appearance of architecture.
• Use different layers and levels and roof gardens to present landscape.

Step2-Users

• Artist and his families(might be parents)
• Artist: like something wierd and different.
• Parents: like something bright.
• Collections: paintings from 18~19 century.

 Step3- Designs that fit the user brief

• Shape of the building: strange and similar to rock.
• main transportation: ramp(consider accessbility of disabled and also enjoy the building.)
• Entrance: Sloping wall to hide the entrance of the residential door and stand out the entrance of gallery.
• Doors: Use external sliding door to fit special shape of the building.

• Galleries: Large Gallery-used to put dark and negative paintings and use artificial light as main light tool to create a sense of mistery.
• Small Gallery- use to present some bright and possitive paintings and has a larhe window to utilise natural light.

• Residentials: GF: Large bedroom- for parents, has a large sliding door.
• 1F: Small bedroom- for artist
• Working area- use the triangular space of slopng roof.
• Roof Gardens: each level has a garden with different sjape and scale.

Step4- Construction and material

• Material: White concrete
• Construction: considered the shape, it might be hard to build the roof. Can use “House in A Grove”as a reference.

PROJECT3 FINAL SUBMISSION

Concept:
According to my analysis of Villa Savoye in last two assignments, the concept I decide to present in project 3 is landscape. To narrow the definition of landscape, I concentrate on how to combine landscape with architecture and how to make architecture as part of the environment which people can feel the meaning of landscape.

PROJECT3-WK4

Concept:
According to my analysis of Villa Savoye in last two assignments, the concept I decide to present in project 3 is landscape. To narrow the definition of landscape, I concentrate on how to combine landscape with architecture and how to make architecture as part of the environment which people can feel the meaning of landscape.

To enhance the concept of landscape, I change the appearance of my design to make it more like a piece of rock.

PROJECT3-WK2

Concept:
 According to my analysis of Villa Savoye in last two assignments, the concept I decide to present in project 3 is landscape. To narrow the definition of landscape, I concentrate on how to combine landscape with architecture and how to make architecture as part of the environment which people can feel the meaning of landscape.

My first design is a transmulation of villa savoye, based on the surrounding landscpae with is a really sloping mountain, I designed it into several layers and bacially a box building. Ramp and staircases are main transportaion in this building.

PRESENTAION

Step 1: Circulation

Illustrate the function of ramp and staircase, and what they represent as well as the relationship between circulation and light.

• Ramp - slow "Premenade Archietcture", enjoy the building.
• Staircase - fast, quickly go through the building.
• Light - cave, habitaion, solarium

Step 2: Formal Devices

Demonstrate the geometries and proportions in this building.

• Geometries: Circle

                     Rectangle

• Proportion: Golden rectangle

                     Root 5 rectangle
Step 3： relationship between detail and whole

Illustrate how Le Corbusier bring landscape into the building: roof garden, windows and glazing.

•  Roof Garden - vegetation
• Windows - directly show the environment
• Glazings - see through and reflection.

PROJECT 2 - DETIAL & WHOLE

LANDSCAPE IN VILLA SAVOYE

In Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier tries his best to bring landscape into the building. Roof garden is the most obvious elements that achieve this goal, besides that, windows and glazings can also reflect the landscape. For the windows without glazingf, clients can see through it and directly view the environment. For windows with glazings, clients can not only see through them, but also, they can reflect environment.

PROJECT 2 - FORMAL DEVICES

Villa savoye is basically formed of geometries and proportions, for geometries, it formed by circles and rectangles, for proportions, it formed by golden rectangles and root 5 rectangles.

 CIRCLES

 

These are all the circles in the building.

These are the circles  in ground floor.
White circle - curved glazing wall
Red column - Spiral staircase
Pink circle - curved wall in garage

These are the circles in first level.
Red column - staircase
Blue circles - curved wall in bathroom

These are the circles on the roof.
The yellow and pink circle formed an irregular curve wall
Green circle - another curve wall


RECTANGLES

These are the rectangles in the whole building.

These are the rectangles in ground floor.
Blue rectangle - ramp
Red rectangle - staircase
Black rectangle - inner spaces
White rectangle - livingroom for guest

These are the rectangles in middle level.
Blue rectangle - ramp
Red rectangle - staircase
Yellow rectangle - private space
Green box - public space
Green hole - open roof garden

These are the rectangle in roof.
Blue rectangle - ramp
Red rectangle - staircase
Yellow rectangle - kitchen terrace
Green hole - open roof gargen


PROPORTIONS

 

Villa Savoye is a product after accurate calculations. Le Corbusier used golden rectangle as a calculation method to set the positions of columns, the height of the walla as well as the divisions of spaces.

 Root 5 recangle is another way to search the porpotion in this building. This kind of rectangle can be found in elevations. It decide the position of the middle column as well as the room divisions.

This model combines proportions and Le Corbucier's concept of "Free plans and free facade". Every box inside is in golden rectangle or root 5 rectangle. When they combine together, they form a big box like Villa Savoye, But spaces are not only restrict to boxes, they are changable and can be as different as people's imaginations.
