I felt I might have lost my pure desire to achieve my dream. Or any other pure mind toward something has been lost. Why can't I stop comparing myself with someonelse who has better things than I am? Is it my time to start going back to GOD ?

The 24th year of my life is almost going to the end. Some accomplishments were made and some wishes are still wishes. And I am still not so certain about which direction I am heading to. ummm....

어느날 정신을 차려보니 내가 원하던 일자리에서는 내가 원하지 않던 일들을 시키고 있었고
이게 제대로 온 길인지 생각도 해보기 전에 대리님은 '일하면 연애 못하니까 얼른 결혼해' 라는 걱정을 떠안겨 주셨고, 이십대의 절반을 살면서 한번도 결혼할 남자를 따져서 골라서 만나야 겠다는 전략을 세워보지도 않았던 나의 생활이 떠오르면서

눈물이 핑.

하느님이 나를 위해 지으셨다는 그 배우자는 어디에 있는 것이며 왜 미리 알려주지를 않으시고 여러사람을 거쳐가게 하는것인지를 그냥 오늘만큼은 알고싶단 말이야

epilogue

There was no "done" in architecture, and this review again was a reminder that things never get completed. The recent couple of weeks were not a finishing process but stopping at what we have now.

Due a lot to lack of sleep I wasn't able to remember/summarize thoughts we have had for the semester. Yet through presenting at least what we want to say about our project, I think we had good conversations about what we should do next.

Overall the review (both morning/afternoon) asked some questions in common.

: what is the rule that enables the field condition happen in our building? now the school look like maze (which has lots of walls in it). Isn't the space has to be almost without walls?

: plan and form of the building which doesn't clearly conveys constantly moving field condition

The focal point we had in our plan was mainly about making classrooms arranged in order to have hangout space in between. Yet I agreed that the overall arrangement should have been coordinated with other elements of building as well. I regret the thinking process didn't continue up until yesterday as we had to produce things for reviews.

To me it has always been such a big burden and effort to "create" something, however at the same time it is a true gesture in which I can express myself in different ways: and it seems as I repeat the process the outcome gets better.

Life with architecture will go on :)

12/12/09 Toward final

Final renderings of the plan view: shows the light condition of each space.
(context buildling should be poched)

1F










2F










3F









In each plan, the floor right above was treated as an invisible object but still affecting the light condition.

11/28/09 "Rocky" plan

Below are "rocky" version of our final plan.

Mainly it explains both program and structure at the same time. Fixed programs are all poched, and among those fixed programs there are rooms that work as structure system- these are shown by thicker walls.

The reason we had all doors to room look like small pathways is that it's better to show how program can spill out: Fixed programs don't actually have completely closed part, but still can be pretty secluded area by having small pathways.

The plans are going to be rounded up (or be smoother) as it is being settled.

11/17/09 subtraction

Three types of spaces are now defined by one another. It's a subtractive way to think of space.




Thermal Bath is showing this idea well. By thinking certain programs as solid blocks, the rest of space is formed. The benefit of doing this is that it generates an "clearly-recognizable" design. Without having one to one relationship between space type and its apperance. (i.e. fixed for circle, fluid for triangle, program+circulation for square)



I treated this model as jello again, in rhino version. After removing all floor plans, I made a box and perforated with cone-shaped columns: which is going to be void space in the end.
And then in order to keep the floor slope, I created two big planes with same slope from the webbing circulations. so the floors are the result of subtracting columns from those planes.





The work is better shown in plan view. I like the point that the size of void space slightly changes between floors. And overall it looks as if the void space is actually subtracted. However at the same time it doesn't look right to me, still. Fixed space are shown as solid, program+circulation as gray, void as white. ( Not sure if we need to mark fluid space with orange color.) I think it is because all types still have their own shapes (rounded corner rectangle and cone)

I still need to consider structure and light matters as well.
(Yet they are not a one-way progress but an interactive concerns)
