Project 2 (Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality)
In the previous assignment, we have learned how to analyse and diagram architectural principles. Now, we need to use the architectural principle(s) from the first assignment; to explore your conceptual and operational procedures in order to produce a significant gesture of architectural space(s). Our main task is to generate and craft Introspective Architectural Folly that has spatial experience, with a maximum volume of 125 cubic meter. Inspired to possibly thresh out insights that can be derived from reflective and rethinking dispositions about the self, this project hopes that an architectural approach to where we are right now could challenge certain ways or postures by which we frame ourselves, our relationship with nature, and others.
Project 2 (Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality)
Duration: 4 weeks
Objectives:
-
To show the importance of using the art of crafting and making: drawing(s) and model(s) as a critical design tool in the design process.
-
To encourage your thinking and discussion about space(s) and its qualities through architectural conceptualization.
We were to further explore architectural principle/s gathered from Project 1, types and effects that materials has on the crafting of architectural space(s) and the possible spatial qualities through an understanding of the tactile (texture, grain) and tectonics (assembly) aspects of construction materials for a space to self-contemplate. Our Folly must be minimum 70% of dry construction and optionally maximum 30% can be wet construction and must consist of 30% fully enclosed space with openings (entry point and fenestration). The Folly also must not be exceeding 2 stories height and must incorporate staircase.
