Project 2

Examine the way in which the occupation of a room is animated by its ambience. The role and the design of windows and doors in particular will be explored. Through examination of an interior scene of either a 17th century Dutch painting, or an early 20th century painting by Edward Hooper, create a spatial narrative. Consider the painting and transform the domestic scene into a series of rooms to accomodate your 'client'.

Introduction to ARCH1201

Architectural Design Studio 3
Session 1

This program will consist of four projects:
Project 1 - Artifice
Reconstruction of a modern or contemporary villa as a sectional model by exploring it's spatial qualities. This is further done through parti and poche drawings.

Project 2 - Room and Narrative
Transformation of a domestic interior scene into a series of inhabitable rooms. An exploration of architectonics considering interior and exterior 'containers'.

Project 3 - Art Gallery, Shop/House
Design of a 'contaminated' form expressed through an art gallery design in the city.

Project 4 - Portfolio
This Blog will then become a final submission for this studio.
