PART TWO: SPACE ENCLOSING AND DEFINING SYSTEMS
ENCLOSING : DEFINING :
= space enclosed = space penetrated
="room" - distinct realms = "space" spatially loose
quality = connecting
= separate inside from outside = merge inside from outside
= spatial contained limits = define space= lmitless
= subject to gravity = appears not to respond
to gravity
to gravity
= representational = abstract
= panes individual = viewed all sides
= light sources visible = hidden light sources
= joined components = distinct components
= framed and edged = spatially separate
= recognisable openings = openings are " gaps"
= hierachically ordered = equal in status not ordered
= continuity of surface = continuity of idea not
surface
surface
= articulation of relationships = articulation not joining
of elements = positive elements = relationship
between components
between components
= openings = primary elements = frame / panels = primary
THE DIFFERENT ATITUDES TO WORKING WITH SPACE:
- Introduce to some of the differences in the visual vocabulary of buildings.
- spatial systems also manifest as the details which are fashioned with these concerns in mind.
- construction gives rise to detail
( suppresses, minimised, exaggerated or supplemented )
- details occur = openings , on edges , at ends and at junctions
- degree of connection = experience of a building.
MWAAH... :-)
