The previous scheme died because the systemiczation was too dominant and the beauty of architecture got lost in the rather diagrammatic production. Then my instructor sees a lot of potential in my PQ surface exercise. Therefore...I started over with my rather sexy surface.
The new surface is a combo of two identical surfaces with a extrusion and a recession along the central axis. The connection of the two surface is a simple hinge where the recession of one surface and the extrusion of the other meet, through which self shading is created. The shape of the surface is aiming towards maximizing the surface area for solar gain. Different shading conditions and degree of privacy are inscribed in the overall form. Circulation and aggregation opportunities are embedded in the grains of the discretization (horizontal) and and central axis (vertical).
Right now I need to work out the organization of the labs and clean up the circulation to make it a tight system - the integration of horizontal and vertical circulation.
Review Take-away:
1) Seek contradiction in a design to produce great architecture.
2) Interlacing of simple non-linear relationship that produces complexity/variation.
3) Produce otherness in synthesis, both geometrically and thermal dynamically.
