PRESENTATION: Project 1b - Abstract Model





Abstract Model

Core Concepts

1)Folded Planes
Lines are folded to form Planes. By folding the planes, spaces are form.

2) Clustered Form
The organization of this abstract model is clustered as planes are intercepting each other in a non-linear way.


3) Interlocking Space
Public spaces and private spaces are interlocked in Daniel Libeskind's design to show the flow throughout the spaces.
Gaps within the lines on the planes shows the
types of space

PRESENTATION: Project 1a - 18.36.54 by Daniel Libeskind


Design Approaches:

1) Folding concept

-Spaces are created through folded planes

2) Sharp points
-Showing the hierarchy of the house

3)  Counterpoint
-Showing the parallel line through spaces

4) Reflective exterior
-To reflect on the surroundings that change
  the color of the house

Design Elements:

1) Organization

-Clustered

2) Principle
-Hierarchy

3) Space-defining elements
-Light
-Materials





Circulation:

1) Approach

-Oblique

2) Entrance
-Recessed

3) Configuration of path
-Network / Fluid / Free-flow

4) Path-space relation
-Pass through space

Zoning / Spatial Organization:
1) Interlocking spaces
Materials:

1) Stainless steel

-To reflect the surroundings that causes
  the change of color of the house

2) Oakwood
-To provide comfy interior spaces

3) Concrete
-Used as the floor to provide support

It was fun teaming up with CCP. Learned lots of stuff together, got inspired by Daniel Libeskind together, watched the final match of World Cup 2014 while doing the boards together, stone together when we're both out of ideas, listened to stupid songs together while preparing, good experience. Thank you CCP (:

About: Daniel Libeskind


Daniel Libeskind
Born on May 12, 1946
American-Polish
Architect, Artist
Founder of Studio Daniel Libeskind (1989)

An architect who believes that architecture is about designing spaces, in unexpected ways and complex forms, mostly sharp and pointy to show sparks of a new energy and focus, and are inexplicable as each building holds its own story that should be discovered and be remembered.

“Our lives are complex; our emotions are complex; our intellectual desires are complex. I believe that architecture … needs to mirror that complexity in every single space that we have, in every intimacy that we possess.” — Daniel Libeskind
