Perspectives of Circulation Inca Complexes of Machu Picchu Ningbo Historic Museum

Mark T. Bell Section 03_Gonzalez II mtb244

ASSIGNMENT 1A Closely investigating my regional architectural precedent, of the Inca complexes from Macchu Picchu, my investigation focused on documenting and exploring the spatial characteristics and construction logic of the analyzed project, while also considering the building’s cultural, environmental, material, and architectural contexts. The conclusion of my explorations and investigations resulted in a series of diagrammatic drawings that illustrated the complex elements and logic behind the Inca complexes. My work was only furthered with a more significant analysis of the regional precedent, which incorporated forms of architectural research that led to a deeper and more thorough understanding of specific cultural, social, ecological, material, and even, formal design evolutions. My precedent research and documentation goals are to be specific, selective, and provide a uniquely detailed record of the Inca Complexes for productive use in further investigations and future adaptations.

ASSIGNMENT 1B Progressing onto the next stage in the studio, I began to do further analysis of architecture in relation to culture. However, This time I was given a modern counterpart, the Ningbo Historic Museum, to my regional precedent to help serve similar logics and histories. This led to those precedents form the basis of a speculative and generative design analysis within the next two weeks of the studio. Compared to assignment 1A, this series of diagrams become less descriptive (or archeological) but more interpretative and generative.

This resulted in a series of analytical diagrammatic drawings through a series of different architectural and design filters. For my project, I started to focus on the formal solid v. voids dynamics of the program and circulation of my precedents, and the spatial layering created through further analysis of the spaces.

ASSIGNMENT 1C Building on my speculative drawings, diagrammatic drawings, and model from assignments 1A-B, I started to construct a physical model that embodies the architectural and spatial essence found in your precedent analysis and speculative drawing. For the model and york drawing I picked the filters of formal solid v. voids dynamics, illustrated within my precedents and the ideals of spatial layering. I also started to visualize the materiality of my project.

Speaking to both my regional and modern precedents, I choose rockite as the base of my further architectural representations. For both my drawings and Model I choose to explore how filters of spatial layering and formal solid v.

Voids dynamic can work together in order to inform the creation of these new spaces. As illustrated in the drawing the model space is created through the layering of the destruction of my precedents while utilizing other elements in my precedents to further ideals of complexity.

ASSIGNMENT 2 The conclusion of my investigations and design analysis from assignment one form the base for assignment two and the conclusion of my design synthesis for this project. In Assignment 2A, I started with the exploration of the utilization and materiality of circulation in my final design. This resulted in creating the circulation of the project to being the man element in the construction and regulation of spaces of the gallery. The circulation is an independent force that comes to dominate the form and functions of the gallery spaces as a whole. As a result, the spatial understandings of the space place the occupants in the perspectives of the circulation, instead of the traditional enclosed spaces. This idea is only furthered with the incorporation of the site of the gallery.

Similar to the role of circulation within the design the site comes to the main role of the creation of spaces. Together with the circulation, both the site and circulation act as regulation lines that controls the dimensions of the traditional enclosed space. This is also seen, as the enclosed areas are all separated from each other, a result of the circulation dominating the dimensions and spread of the space. In conclusion, my project wants to focus on the non-enclosed spaces as a means to create the enclosed environment while simultaneously acting in their traditional roles of supporting and transporting.
