In the realm of modern architecture, or in a less-thought consuming way of expressing the term, -a minimalism trend- occurred in our currently more global than ever world, designing (seen from my personal point of view), is evolving (as ever) around Platonic forms, around geometrical manipulations.
Boxes, spheres, cones, cylinders, among others, are the main ingredients of those architecture works in line with the influence of modernism. Combined, attached, cropped, chopped, sliced, morphed, warped, deformed, (name all the methods and ways which there are many) to be done to those most elemental forms and you’ll have yourself a new breed of architecture.
Among those forms, I find a box as the one that suits perfectly with the logic of function, structure, and of persona to be developed into a buildable architecture (I believe many share the very same opinion as I do on this subject.) Boxes suit perfectly to modernism dogma presented by Adler-Sullivan (which often misquoted by many as one of Mies’), “Form follows functions.” And by mostly dwelling on this idea, the design for this house developed.
This house is built for a senior couple, so the program is not necessarily difficult despite the limited floor area, having not so many specific areas and rooms to assign in.
The first step in this house design is to cleanly separate the main area, which includes living room, dining room, master bedroom, and on the second floor are an additional guest room, and a multipurpose room, based on the client request for a music room, from its supporting area, such as kitchen, maid area, and wash/dry area.
The form searching started by dropping a huge box right on the middle of the site and the dismantling process begins afterwards. The word “dismantling” came from the very idea that architecture is about creating tension among the elements that built it into one single strong entity occupying one place for some range of time, and to my concern, what is necessary to create the tensions is a careful compositioning of elements, of forms, of solids and voids, of dismantling and rearranging process of those pieces that once was one as a box, into a new form that is visually pleasing, also pleasantly functioning , seen from many perspectives. Here I present some of the images I believe will help to understand the work better.
The project was later postponed due to several technical (or maybe budgeting) reasons from the client.
Oh, yeah, there are two alternatives, the first being so modern and all, and the second one trying to be a little bit tropical. :) Cheers.
