Week 2

Week 2 I had more of an understanding of the concepts especially parti, an idea or decision that the architect has made for the house, and how to identify these aspects of the building. The parti that I discovered in the first week still stood out to me as the main ideas behind the house and I worked at refining these and better understanding them. Group discussion during the 2nd studio did however lead me to some more partis which support the main ideas, these can be seen in the week 3 drawings.
The image above was done to further refine the circulation in the house and to decide how to be visually represent the idea that there is a central spine but you can deviate from it.
The image above shows another attempt at a circulation parti, for weeks 2 and 3 my drawings were quite clean and clinical I did this to reflect the simplicity and minimalism of the house (it is however at the same time complex, it is a house of many contrasts), however this is not how partis should be represented, so for my final set I tried to make them more organic and freehand, but still showing the idea of simplicity with complexity.
When working on the drawings for this week I found a hatching that was quite organic and I feel that it reflects the essence of the house through its simplicity but complexity and through its organic nature (reflecting the materials used in the house).
I also experimented with different mediums such as ink to show different ideas in the house however this did not react well with the tracing paper.
I have also included my notes from my consultation during the studio, looking at how to layout the final project.
