After choosing the image we were to design a room (or a series of rooms) in which occupants could satisfy a hobby which was to be derived from studying the painting. The chosen hobby was thought. To design a room of thought that would effectively accomodate and stimulate thought, I studied the process of thought and how the body could comfortably proceed with this.
As a result, multiple sitting areas were designed and in place of a thought stimulant, reflected water onto the ceiling became the central feature of the structure.
Below are images which were chosen for this folio for assignment 2.
Plan of building, showing thick masonry walls to provide coolness in a heated desert enviroment (symbolic of "Summer Interior") which is the site of this building.
Section and Elevation of building, showing once again thick and dense wall structure.
An axonometric drawn with a section cut. Note the section cut was chosen to show the range of sitting places in the buiding to aford for all kinds of sitting postures and locations. In the thick walls a wide sitting position was provided so thought could be in connection with the outside world. Around the shallow pool seating allows for thought provoked by water reflections on cielling, and in the middle of the pool a shaded square meditative block was designed to allow for.. meditation.
Sketchup Image showing people sitting in various locations.
Model in 2 sections.
Model showing a range of seating locations.
Roof of model, showing glass on roof and how light would penetrate the structure and be cooled by the pool of water below.
