Ex.1 Split

In this exercise I use "split" as my verb to design and study the relationship between line, plan, volumn and space.

Ex.2.2 Spacial Flow Base on the final model produced in Exercise1, I added staircase to connect spaces and create spacial flows. All routes are towards the central part with a doubled floor height, so different spacial experiences can be created by moving through open spaces and closed spaces. Also in this exercise, the relationship between spaces and cite conditions are taken into consider.

Ex.3 House in Fontinha In this exercise, I studied House in Fontinha by Manuel Aries. I anaylized it from it's geometry, carves outside in and inside out, lights and level of privacy.

Ex.4 Grid House By studying Marcel Duchamp’s art piece Fresh Widow, I get inspired by how the artist play with materials and people’s expectation by blocking the window with black leather.

Fresh Widow Marcel Duchamp Material: Painted wood frame and panes of glass covered with black leather.

I take the gird work of the window as my design basis. By changing materiality of the wall, I try to control people’s sight in the design along with the circulation both from outside looking in and inside looking out. The sequence of views varies with the function of different spaces from opaque, translucent, to transparent. I engage this by adding different sizes of glass on the solid wall.

By playing with the materials, people’s sight and the level of privacy in spaces, I treat people inside the building also as a scene that builds up the whole views. Along the circulation in the building, people’s sight also varies from totally blocked, half blocked, and totally opened linearly. I guide people’s sight with the changing of material to give the experience in gallery unexpected and interesting.
