Draft of model realization



My design materials are basically concrete, timber and glass. In my model I am going to use box board, balsa wood and plastic as materials. They are meant to represent the roughness of atmosphere and design concept that is supportive. Thus, the timber is a visible standing structures.





The Vertical movement is shown in the picture with structural timber supporting the architecture.

Rough Sketches of The Idea

The Painting - "Signing Mayflower Compact"



The picture record historical story about compact signed by refuge in the ship in a trip to settle in new place. The compact contains the agreement to support government settling in a new place. 40 out of more than a hundred people signed. They won't know what will happen with their life when they get to the destinantion, but they have to make their decision on the ship.

The painting's atmosphere seem to be rough in the room, crowded, dark and also bright in the area close to the window. Happiness could also be seen in the painting as one person agreed to sign. The roughness of the atmosphere is shown by the structures and stuffs that are spread everywhere.

In regard to this, I take roughness as my deign concept. The design of my architecture will approximately looks like a complicated tower, as they have to make decision and they dont know what they will face in th future (represent their unpredicted future) and supported tower with structural elements to represent their support to the government, those who signed.

The decision that we made to cut the building in ebery level is that to achieve the most optimal understanding of the architecture within every rooms and spaces inside the house. In fact, from building the model we had learnt a lot about the distincitve feature of Muler house, such as the split level of rooms, density of the walls, configuration and the circulation of the house.
