Week 3 - independent

Model without textures and colour
I had trouble trying to import the model with many different textures and colours so I defined the three different elements according to the main colour scheme I would like it to be.
With colour/textures
 Sketchup model to show intended textures and colours proposed for this model

Three experiments


SIGMUND FRUED
To carry out this experiment, small tests are conducted amongst a mass of different people to determine what the average results are. Hypothetical situations are given out and answered through either physical work or mental. This therefore suggests that the space need to conducted this certain experiment as it must cater for the mass of people. Therefore the space must be open to allow for maximum ventilation and large rooms are needed.

MARIA AGNESI
Similarly, Agnesi’s experiments require similar elements as a mass of people are needed to confirm the hypothesis. However, smaller and more private tests are also conducted thus not only multiple spaces are used but also public and private spaces have to be considered.

MEETING POINT
The meeting point is a place for both scientists to share their ideas, thus the lack of distraction is a key aspect. An open and simple space is considered to allow this and also is a different space as compared to their studios.

Independant study week2


Chosen hypothesis
The nature of man is to be selfish

A person can understand seven different languages

My hypothesis was explored through the idea of juxtaposing the man-made structure with the landscape and portrays the notion of greed, power and selfishness. By creating a structure the over-powered and engulfed the surround landscape, clearly depicts the notion of selfishness. The architectural form of the structure expresses a central and grounded block representing the human form and the use of cantilevers not only defines a working space but also enhances the central idea and contributes to the experience of the space and surrounding landscape.

The second working space explores the idea of multiples and its connection to the land. By exploring a repetitive design to express the notion of different languages allows for different spaces to be formed and used as working space. The structure is much more grounded as compared to the first working space as this explores the importance of language and communication between people. This is also further explored through the connections to different elements of nature that is – water, rock, grass and also references the notion of multiples.

The pathway that leads to both studios is constructed in a way that addresses and represents the central ideas of each space. By creating a large and long pathway does this suggest the element of overpowering and dominating thus referencing Freud’s working space. The winding aspect of the pathway is referenced to Agnesi’s working space as it suggests the notion of multiple pathways that may lead to one main point.

The meeting point was based on the idea of creating a place that lacks any distraction and that is open and much more natural and organic.
