3d Diagram Revised

I studied the cases by one by again and I produced a diagram. This time, I interpreted the narrow explosion in a different way compared to my previous model. I thought that I could divide the nine houses in the list into groups as common feature. For instance, Endless House and Bağ Evi are elevated from the ground. I can also include Balancing Barn in this group because Balancing Barn, which is a linear structure, is not directly connected to the ground. It provides the stage for a changing outdoor experience.

Friedrick Kiesler, Endless House

The house, Villa Curutchet, exemplifies Le Courbusier’s five points of architecture. Let’s first look at these five points.

1. Pilotis,
2. Free design of the facade
3. Horizontal window
4. Free designing of the plan
5. Roof Gardens on a flat roof

After analyzing these five points, I can say that Villa Curutchet also is elevated from the ground with the columns. So, I can also add this house in the same group.

In the previous model and as I mentioned in the collage, I evaluated the other group on the light. Wall-less House, Endless House and House for the Poem of the Right Angle are based on lighting system as differently from others because Wall-less House, there is almost no privacy because of absence of walls. However, House for the Poem of the Right Angle, there is absence of windows. These houses use light for different purposes. Endless Houses’s architect, Friedrick Kiesler, thought that privacy is important in the place. So he designed in this thought.

As a result of these analyses, I thought that these houses have same feature at some point. Therefore, they are merging in this features. I associated these as narrowness. After they merged at same point, these features are used for different purposes so, I interpreted this as explosion. I interpreted “unfolded joints” that these houses have same features at some point. Thus, we can easily distinguish and analyze them from others. This time, I thought in very abstract way. Firstly, I drew diagrams about how I interpret these analyses and then I produced a 3d diagrammatic model.

3d Diagram

After the 2d collage work, we were assigned to make a 3d diagrammatic model depending upon our phrases and case studies which were given randomly before for the collage work. My phrases are narrow explosion and unfolded joints and you can see list of the case studies in the post of collage. (I shared its link below.)

I studied cases again and I tried to combine them with my phrases. In my collage work, I associated both cases and phrases with light. So, I kept to same idea to produce 3d diagrammatic model. All of the houses are based on lighting system. After they combined in this common feature, they all use the light for different purposes. I will explain what I mean. For instance, Wall-less House, there is almost no privacy because of absence of walls. However, according to Endless House’s architect, Friedrick Kiesler, people need different levels of enlightenment in the places they use for different purposes. For example, they must feel safe in the bedroom, so the room should not be too bright nor too dark. Additionally, House for the Poem of the Right Angle was designed to take light on different angles and this house is different compared to other houses in the list because there is absence of windows. In this house, truncated cones jutting out from the roof offer narrow viewing portals into the canopy of the surrounding trees. Briefly, according to my analyses, I tried to show this light condition by enclosing some parts and changing closeness level so that the light come in thoroughly inside with different levels.

After the discussion hour, I understood that I could not produce a 3d diagrammatic model. Therefore, I will revise the model by considering my case studies and phrases again.
