The success of assignment two derived from reusing fragmented bits of the old and balancing their relationship with the new
Language
Taking the fragments that would be knocked down for development
Gordon Matta Clark influences to make cuts into the “old” facades
Arrangement of the “old” to create interest and spacial volumes behind
Integration of the “new” to complete the geometry
Idea to cut the old facades into fragmented bits
Gordon Matta Clark
American Artist
An example of how the new can be integrated into the old, with both elements holding their character and age.
Santa Maria in Trastevere
An example used to understand old and new, both contrasting but holding age and identity
Community Centre Westvleteren Atelier Tom Vanhee
Physical model was to show language through exploding the west elevation into the old, new, and roof, to show integration
Physical Model
Development started from questioning how the “old” could be integrated into the spacial volumes, away from facade ism
north facade underlaid
Developed North and south elevations A2 underlaid
Developing site plan to occupy more site with originally public space, now private courtyard space.
through roof forms
Integration
Massing development
Circulation development
Assignment two, moving forward mainly approaching integration of facades and site occupation
Development of spacial volumes, lost language through complex modeling
Designing facades and integrating spacial volumes from them
Development of language
Final design, facade dominate, but integrated into spacial volumes + occupying most of the site.

Testing hybrid drawing style as digital model made language feel refined.
