DRAMESTIC LIVING

TYPE: ACADEMIC PROJECT

SITE SIZE: 35METER X 54 METER SOFTWARES USED:

THE PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE RESIDENTIAL ACCOUMMDATION MIXING WITH COMMERICAL USES TO A DESIGNATED PLOT. RETAINING PART OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDINGS IS PART OF THE SCHEME AND AT THE SAME TIME INCREASING OR MAINTAINING THE SAME RESIDENTIAL CAPCITY AS THE ORIGINAL.

Site Context

THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY OLD RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERICAL BUILDING. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS VIEWED AS FOREIGN AND EXOTIC, FILLED WITH BARS AND STREET ARTS.

Strategy

WHILE MAINTAINING THE CAPCITY OF THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS, ATRIUM SPACES ARE PROVIDED FOR PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNAL LIVING SHARING SPACES. THROUGHOUT A CONTINUOUS PATH, ONE CAN EXPERIENCE ART AND LIVING SIMULTANEOUSLY.

TRADITIONAL: PERFORMANCE SURROUNDED BY AUDIENCE

PROPOSED: PERFORMANCE SURROUNDED BY LIVING ACTIVITIES

PROPOSED: WITHOUT PERFORMANCE, SPACES CAN BE USED AS SHARED LIVING ROOM

LEFT BOTTOM: MOVEMENT STUDY OF THE FAMOUS BALLET PLAY, WHICH CONSISTED OF FIVE SEQUENCES. DIFFERENT SEQUENCES REUIRED DIFFERENT SET OF MOVEMENT TO DELIVER THE DANCES AND ACTS.

THROUGHOUT THE FLOORS, SPACIOUS ATRIUM ROOMS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE BALLET PERFORMANCE, CONNECTING BY STAIRS, WHICH PERFORMERS COULD WALK TO DIFFERENT ATRIUMS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING TO PERFORM VARIOUS SEQUENCES DEPENDING ON THE STAGE SET.

Transformation

LARGE ATRIUM SPACES ARE SYMBOLIZED AS STAGES. THE LARGE OPENING ALLOWS AUDIENCE FROM OUTSIDE THE STREET AND INSIDE THE BUILDING CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING, LIKE A TELEVISION SCREEN FOR THE OUTSIDE WORLD; AND A HUGE CITYSCAPE VIEW FOR THE RESDIENTS.
