1.Reflection on the Ground Floor.

There is a curved glazing wall on the ground floor separating the interior and exterior in a creative way. According to Le Corbusier’s concept of Villa Savoye, the house is supposed to be lifted above the ground just like it is flowing in the air. The internal space is dark while the external space is bright. The glazing wall reflects the surrounding environment and in the same time, people can still see through the wall. When visitors walking along the glazing wall to the entrance, they not only feel the rhyme of the light on the curved wall, but they also feel like walking in the nature.

2.The rhythm of circulation

I define each level a different color: Ground Level—Green; First Level—Yellow; Second Level—Red; Surrounding landscape—Blue. And the color gradient on the circulation illustrates the speed of transition between spaces. According Le Corbusier’s concept of “Promenade Architecture”, the main circulation—the ramp provides people a slow speed and enjoyable experience from ground to the roof. In contrast, the spiral stairs is a direct and high-speed transition between spaces.

3. The view and landscape.

I took a specific point of view to analyze how Le Corbusier brought the landscape into Villa Savoye. There are three major elements in the view—frames, reflection and internal plants ,which blur the boundary between nature and architecture.

Frames

a) frames of planter beds

Le Corbusier uses the white frame of planter beds to disguise the skylight.

b)frames with glazing

The glazing blur the view of landscape which provides a contrast with view through un-glazed frames. I think the same view through different frame form a hierarchy, blurry or clear.

c)frames without glazing

The direct and clear view through the frame bring nature closer to visitors.

Reflection

a)”going-through” reflection

It is a pleasant experience when looking at this kind of reflection. The glass wall reflects the courtyard while people can still see the interior through the wall. What is more interesting is that there are frames behind the wall, and the reflection of external white frame is overlap the internal black frame.

b)reflection

The reflection emphasized the natural elements in the courtyard.

Internal Plants

Then plants can blur the boundary between nature and architecture.

Architecture Proposition

I summarized some concepts of Villa Savoye and designed a concept architecture with those concept.

1.the rhythm of circulation.

Same as Villa Savoye, my proposition contains two kinds of circulation in low and high speed. Two stairs and one ramp. But differently, I make stairs the major circulation.

2.”house is flowing in the air and the roof is a garden”

I raised up the habitation area above the ground to gain a better view. Meanwhile, there are gardens on the roof and in between habitation spaces, which provides resident pleasant experience closer to the nature.

3. the spaces on a ship

Just like Corbusier applied the concept of spaces on a ship to his architecture—that is, the private spaces(cabins) are small and public spaces are large—I showed the contrast of scales between public and private spaces in my proposition.

draft model of the bridge

2010-05-24T09:42:00.000-07:00

This draft model is based on two clients' personality.
The left space is Miranda Kerr's office. It is opened and light, showing freedom and her young age. Glass is used to show herself because she is a model.
The right space is Angela Merkel's office. As the Chancellor of Germany, she is strong and sophisticated. The complicated and sharp shape symbolize her strong personality.
The ribbon shape across the valley is a transition of those two space of opposite extreme styles. The comon personality of two clients is gentle as female.

Angela Merkel contributed to Greek bailout just like an advocate for the disabled as Helen Keller. But her spirits already dampened so that she oversaw barbies new look inspired by Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr. Helen Keller is not just for blind and disabled people, but for equal rights. So she showed her displeasure at Angela Merkel’s handling of the crisis. Miranda Kerr knew work is the only way to forget the obstacles in her path.so she attended Australian Fashion Week and announced It’s hard to make a decent living even with a job. However, her activism was protest by the peacemaker and passionate advocate—Helen Keller though Miranda Kerr is dominating the pages of fashion magazines. That little bit something extra in market pressures is an equipment of a great warrior.

The picture above shows my favorite work I made in an university in China. Everytime I saw this yellow box I would feel the passion inside and become optimistic. I called it "Cherish" because the red part inside symbolised something sweet, something about love and spirits--like my best memory. I really enjoy the bright colors.

The picture above shows a piece of architecture designed by Zaha Hadid, who is a female architect I appriciate most. The reason this work interests me is that it combimes the strength of architecture and the sensitive emotion from a female. And this word breaks the regular impression about architcture--it looks light rather than heavy, and with soft lines ranther than clear edges and corners.

The photo above was taken on the morning of my second day in Sydney. That was the first piece of sunshine I felt in this unknown country. It made me feel warm and get rid of loneliness.
