MODULARITY & EXPERIENCE

A LOWER LIMIT IN SIZING EACH MODULE IS ESTABLISHED AS SANAA’S SCALED HUMAN FIGURE’S DIMENSIONS. EACH MODULES IS THEN CREATED THROUGH EXTRUSIONS OF THIS BASE LOWER LIMIT, DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCE.

NUETRAL SPATIAL EXPERIENCE

VERTICAL SPATIAL EXPERIENCE

HORIZONTAL SPATIAL EXPERIENCE

Exploration Through Parti Model

Following The Thread

CONCEPTUAL SIMILARITIES WERE FOUND IN THE FUKITA PAVILION BY RYUE NISHIZAWA. AN EXPLORATION OF SPACE RELATIVE TO THE HUMAN SCALE AND THE ABSOLUTE LIMITS OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SPATIAL EXPERIENCES WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH PARTI MODELS OF THE PAVILION. THE UNASSUMING LAYERING AND FOLDING OF STEEL PLATES, WHEN ASSESSED FURTHER, REVEALS AN AVERSION FROM SOLID LINES WHEN POCHÉD AND TRANSITIONS BETWEEN SPACES OF INFINITE POSITIVE/NEGATIVE VERTICAL EXPERIENCES OF SPACE AN UNDERSTANDING OF SPATIAL EXPERIENCE AS A PERCEIVED AND CONTROLED ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY WAS GAINED THROUGH THESE EXPLORATIONS. AN EMPHASIS IS ALSO PLACED ON THE INCLINATION TOWARDS VARIETY IN THE TOPOLOGICAL SCHEME TO ACHIEVE AMBIGUOUS AND NON-HIERARCHICAL SPACES
