Project 2: Final Model

This is the overall look.

Shows the transparency of the glass floor.

Hor the entry works.

This is how it deals with the site. I put layers of countour to make it real with the real site, which is located on the land near the mountain.

Project 2: Final Model 2

I make this kind of wall becuase I want to make an idea of capturing the sunlight from the top, not from the side of the building, as usual.

I made this from metal, to make it cohesive with the idea of extreme sports.

I made this also from the metal sheet, and it will bounce the light perfectly. In other word, it will convey the idea of bouncing the light very well.

I choose to build a floor which is made of glass because since he loves breathtaking sports, i think he will like this. He still gets an experience while he move away from his usual activity.

This is how I put the source of sunlight which comes from the roof. I place it right below the table and it will give a very nice effect.

Project 2: The working model preview

Just a bit preview for my working model.

I finally choose this kind of wall, to make relation with the idea of extreme sports, becuase this kind of wall give a sense of unusual and a bit extreme.

Project 2: About the site

The site is the land near mountain in Switzerland. I choose this site because it is located on the hill or the land near the mountain, and it will create a sense of silent, quiet and away from the crowd. Furthermore, since it is located on a high place, it is a perfect place in term of sunlight because it will get better sunlight from the top.

Project 2: The progress of the idea 3

This the final outcome of my idea.. In general, I will elevate it, attach a higher wall into it, where I'm gonna put it (the site), and also about the lighting.

Project 2: The progress of the idea 2

But then, I started to think to elevate it, so it will really links to the idea very well. I also started to think about how I put the light and how the light comes in.

Project 2: The Progress of the idea

At first, I just make some rough sketches to convey the idea of my narrative. And this is what I come up with..

Project 2 - Painting

The Geographer - Jan Vermeer ( 1668 - 1669)

The Analysis
The space quality of this painting very stands out in term of lighting and the philosophy behind the painting itself. This painting called The Geographer which likes a sense of adventure in his life due to researching about the land and the earth, and it also shows the picture of a man who is thinking about something. And when I look at the painting, the ambience of the room and the man really empahsize it. It tells that the room was quiet and silent. Moreover, it must be a bit far away from the crowd because the man needs a place where he can have his own time to do his activity which is researching and analyzing about the earth.
If we look closely to the painting, the face of the man is not looking to the window. However, he needs the window just for the lighting.
So, I just want to make a space for a man which is silent, quiet, and far away from the crowd, but still have the sense of adventure in it. Moreover, I will take the idea of the window as a source of lighting.

And finally my NARRATIVE is:

A private library for a young man who loves breathtaking sports.
