challenge / relationship between theory + practice

EXP3 / squarehouse

i began these squarehouse sketches as a regular sketch, but then progressed to more of a 'section' view of the building and its surrounding to incorporate the cross.

my theory / 

what am i really trying to say :

- architecture is heavily influenced by the human feeling + the relationship between the human + the space around it

- architecture is influenced, changing, malleable, challenging but ultimately will be focused around the mundane needs of the human

       --> "form follows function" , Louis Sullivan

- similarly to Hadid's Vitra Fire Station, my arcitecture school will look like a series of drastic forms that contain the central core of the architecture school 

- a space that "defines, rather than occupies" - Hadid

- Simple, "prismatic volume" with a central core, joining all functions of the building to the surrounding campus.

THEORY

1. architecture has a central core - the functionality of the spaces around us

2. architecture is influence, malleable and provoking

3. architecture encourages discourse + aesthetic challenges the eye of the beholder to move forward

4. there is circulation and order in irregular spaces

                                                                                                                                                            

my theory shows that with change, discourse and challenging the uniform, the core of human movement in architecture will change and evolve. through drastic and confronting forms, humans will follow with function.

for example, once a brick wall, such as the uniform clay brick wall shown below, was more attractive than an unfinished clay brick wall as show below.

6. below / extruding and extended

5. eye level / random flattended and extended

5. below / parts of the whole that work together

EXP3 / spaces

this is my idea of how the spaces and design requirements in my bridge will work together, coherently, just as the cross works together in an agreement with the surroundings of the squarehouse

i also modified one of my two point perspectives to show how my draft design could look when completed
