Week 9 – Tasks for Studio and Independent Study for Week 10


From the inspiration of the House VI, my concept idea is to remain the idea of Peter Eisenman but to change to a site that be a more utility and the owners do not need to tame it. From "the opposite of home sweet home" to a place which can achieve the belief of the architect and maintain their idea while to achieve a "home sweet home" for the clients. The important of maintaining of the architect is important but at the same time, if the site does not suit the and appreciate the clients needs. The site will not be successful no matter how beautiful the site is.



House II is designed by Eisenman’s latching onto the idea of the magazine as both a vertical and horizontal element. As a result the house becomes a series of nesting Ls of air. This house still relies upon the 3x3x2 grid though. It looks like a two-level tic-tac-toe game. The house’s structure is 16 vertical posts – four on each side and four in the middle. 2-3-9-16. It becomes a 9 square grid on the outside which, when imposed onto the exterior, shows a division of space into three magazines.  -  http://cypresstrees.blogspot.com/2007/11/house-2.html

Re-inventing

We will be inventing the building with by changing the styles and feeling of the site. This building seems to composed with few simple strucutres but this is actually more complicated than that. So by re inventing the site, we will be showing the complication of the building to the viewers in order to give them an idea of how the building is structured.
