SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
In deviation of conventional architecture projects, the objective of this pavilion is to accommodate two people with a unique relationship in attempt to embrace the essence of scale, program, and circulation. Moreover, the assignment title, “Incomplete House”, lends itself perfectly to the use of acquaintanceship as a construction template. How these two people go about their lives under the same roof is uncertain, therefore coining the “incompleteness” conceptually and physically given the project does not hesitate to reveal its structure. An interlocking action is crucial in order for both individuals to sustain interaction and isolation. Separate rooms offer privacy and a meeting ground on the rooftop provides an optional interaction ground. Exposing one entire face of each room encourages the dramatic shift of natural light which can dictate the daily circulation. Achieving this design is found in the use of the folding process where planes are incorporated into one another.
STUDENT'S STATEMENT
In order to design a three-dimensional translation of an acquaintanceship between two people, I sought a program that emulated the experiences and thoughts of that specific human relationship. This was executed through an interlocking program that suggests possible growth in terms of socialization while enabling individuals to part ways. Specific physical elements such as stairwells lack separation and instead promote universality between people by enabling exposure. Depending on how these two people decide to draw their circulation path, either interaction or avoidance will be the result.
