WEEK 2: FOCUS ON THE ENTRANCE CONDITION

***

    for this second week of ROOMS, i rethought my space created by the four plans by moving them in different direction     although trying to keep the same narrative point with the water.

    SECOND ITERATION: i also reworked on the way to enter in the space because the first idea was not convincing. my                                     research were made through a study model. i purposefully made a low entrance of 1.65m in height                                     so that when somebody would enter the space he would have to bend down to incite him to sit and                                     he could stand up gradually as he goes toward the water

Initial idea

By using four planes inserted in the protostructure, the idea was to create a space intended to the observation of something. A combinaison of art and nature was chosen. The space is destined to the middle of the day.

Research and Study

Construction of the drawings

Section and Elevation - Detail

On the elevation, we see the entrance of the space : a thin opening between the left pillar of the protostructure and the vertical plane.

The room is visible on the section where its limits are the two vertical planes. The inclined floor incitate people to sit and take time to watch the art hanged on the protostructure. The idea was to use the sun light coming from the south and expose some art which plays with this light and transparencity. 

Plan and Perspective - Detail

The horizontal plane on top of the room is used as a surface on which people can go after being watching the art, sitting in a confined space. Now peoples can stand from all their hight and throw their view far away.

Axonometry

There is water on the front (left front corner) of the room, at the south.

I come here, alone or with my friend, to put my belongings under the cover space. Here it's cosy, I can stay when it's raining. My favorite area is the peaceful outside where I can enjoy the morning sun and on the other side, where I can have a chat and rest against the inclined wall. I really like this lounge area created by the evening light. At any time in the day I can count on this room to feel comfortable.
