Circulation Strategy
 |
1. Spatial Sequence
Highlights Loos’ major circulation plan that acts to enhance the architectural experience through the continued dramatic changes of spatial enclosure as one walks through the predefined circuit of movement.
1. Private Vs. Public
Explores the two circulation plans separated according
to function- circulation
sequence defined by surrounding spaces, whereby the public circulation plan is
enveloped by larger, more dominant public spaces (blue) and the private,
service circulation plan is separately enclosed, adjacent to the major service area in the southeast corner (red).
3. Lighting Study
Solar study exploring light and shadow in living room
space and northeast facade.

Psychological Relationship
 |
1. Spatial
Experience
Explores Loos’ master section plan in a sequential
manner, demonstrating the dynamism of the overall spatial experience
constructed through the continued vertical compression
and enlargement of spaces.
2. Visual
Connection
Shows the visual connection between the interior and
exterior, as well as the level of visual connectivity between major interior
spaces, defined by various sized internal windows.
Also gives an insight into the true line of sight from
any chosen location on the relevant floor plan level.
3. Public Vs.
Private Vs. Service

Material Study

1. Furniture and
Fixtures
Mapping diagram locating the major materials of
furnishing and fixture elements.
2. Interior Walls
Mapping diagram locating the major wall finishes and
textures. The richness of materials and textures shown in photo montage of
unfolded interior circulation model.
3. Exterior Walls
Unfolded elevation model, seen in contrast to the interior circulation model, emphasises the extremely plain external facade, completely naked from
adornment- other than the natural surroundings that integrates the
urban context into the architecture.
