For my first chosen building's concept - circulation, it's spiral around the house, it would be better to contain with a museum, a spiral circulation will let the visitor comprising everything in sight and hollow shape in the middle is which the stairs in the different stories around but end to end. In the plane view of my re-design building the three stairs in the different position will form a circle.

And for the connection of my chosen architect, most of his design buildings are with odd shape windows and can be exist in two stories. And there are also decks in different position in the different stories opposite to the stairs to have lights but the decks are also inside of the building from the idea of klein bottle house.

The main color theme of my re-design building is modern and cool tone - steel and which to make a great effect to my building and the theme.

WEEK8-independent study

This house is located on sand hills adjacent the ocean beach in Rye. This strategy has unlocked a new series of relationships and sequential spatial experience. It got three level crisscross orderly and start from the foryer, and revolves around a central courtyard, and there is a U type stair connecting all the levels, since it is inspired from klein bottle, then it is a building which is like a endless curling shell.

There are also some shortages of Klein bottle house, like the amount of normal materials neccessary, ended up with half the livable space, and the bunch of slanty walls and ceilings make for a very disorientyny experience.For my re-interpretation building, I'll simplify the surface and reduce the angles. The spiral shell circulation will be retained for my final design.

The Klein Bottle house express the new spatial relationship and configuration, and before building this house, modeling technology plays an significant role to comunicate designer's idea and it also can model much more complex shape, and for this building, it was full orthoganals and has great communicatin of plans, sections and elevations.

This building is located in on heavily ti-treed sand hills and has great viweing place of ocean beach in Rye. Because of the complex topography, it's strategy as a rectilinear patform and makes this house a abstract geometry inhabitable

ASSIGNMENT 1- FINAL POSTER

WEEK5-POSTER AND ANALYSIS AND POSTER GRID

Ram Koolhaas' poster with good layout and organized font size

The success point of this poster is attractive. The upside down portrait painting can catch viewers' attention easily. This poster is used to inform people about a presentation. Thus the layout and the typography are strong focused with different size. And the more important information was used darker color to express the importance.

The "OMA" letters are transparent to avoid the unmatched visual to the portrait painting. And the other "AMO" letters which in lighter color make "OMA" in symmetrical poster won't be so abrupt. Hence to create a visual illusion that both site have "O" and "A" in same color.

The reason why the upside-down portrait painting isn't make a donation of strange is that it's only show half face with eyes clearly and also in the same color scheme as texts. The other reason is that in the event of putting painting in the right way, the main part of human face- eyes will be hide after texts, therefore, the poster will be fail to others.

In conclusion, this poster creates strong  and pitched method.
