THIS

EXERCISE

ONE

WILL

EXPLORE

IN WHICH ELEMENTS ARE ARRANGED

THE

FORMAL

STRUCTURE

TO GIVE A SENSE OF UNI-

TY TO A COMPOSITION FROM FORMS OF VASTLY DIFFERENT CHARACTER. EACH VOLUME CONTAINED A VARIETY OF SHAPE, PROPORTION AND SIZE, BUT SHOULD FIT WITHIN A MAXIMUM DIMENSION OF 200mm AND A MINIMUM DIMENSION OF 20MM. AS EACH VOLUME SHOWED A CLEAR HIERARCHY IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER, DOMINANT, SUBDOMINAT, AND SUBORDINATE VOLUMES WERE ESTABLISHED IN THE STRUCTURE. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE AWARENESS

TUTOR: MISS Shaw-Hines

IN

OF THE INHERENT PROPORTION OF EAACH ELEMENT LENGTH*WIDTH*DEPTH. THE MAIN IDEA WITH THIS DESIGN WAS TO SHOW A CLEAR USE OF VOLUMES ALONG THE X,Y,Z AXIS TO HIGHLIGHT THE DOMINANT, SUBDOMINAT, AND SUBORDINATE VOLUMES.

DESCRIPTION/REFLECTION

DERSTANDING OF DOMINANT, SUBDOMINAT, AND SUBORDINATE VOLUMES, WHICH WAS USED TO GIVE A VISUAL IMPACT OF AN IMPORTANT EVENT IN JAMAICA’S HISTORY BY CREATING AN INSTALLATION THAT REPRESENTS THAT CULTURE AND MEANING. BEFORE THE DESIGN COULD TAKE PLACE AN INSPIRATION WORD WAS FORMED “DETERMINATION” WHICH WAS ASSISTED WITH AN ABSTRACT PIECE TO HELP DEVELOP THE INSTALLATION..

IN THIS PROJECT ONE STUDY THE RITUAL OF BATHING, WHICH COULD BE A COMMUNAL ACT, THAT IS BOTH THERAPEUTIC AND PLEASURABLE. SO AS ONE CONCENTRATE ON THE RITUAL IN DETAIL WHICH WAS THE TURKISH(HAMAM) WAS LIKE A SOCIALIZING EVENT WHERE PEOPLE GATHER AND TALK AOUT MARRIAGE, LIFE ETC. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THE PHYSICAL ORDERING OF SPACE, CIRCULATION AND FORM GUIDED BY A CENTRAL DESIGN IDEA(MEDIATION, MEMORY, FORM, RITUAL).

AFTER DOING THIS PROJECT I DRAW A CONCULSION THAT ARCHITECTURE IS BASED ON SCALE AND PROPORTION, FOR A SPACE TO BE CONSIDERED AS A PLACE, EACH SPACE HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC SCALE AND PROPORTION IN RELATION TO HIGHLIGHTING MEDIATION THROUGH FORM, WHICH HELP TO DEVELOP MEMORYAS ONE JOURNEY THROUGH THE BATH HOUSE
