Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Hello! Im Ianand Im Brandon, and this is our presentation for A living space exhibition for the H&R block space building.


2/100


When viewing images of Corbusiers structures, such as this shot of the Villa Sevoye, his interiors are left open to manypossibilities, and seem anxious for large groups and social events. These open interior spaces dont obstruct movement in theleast, and the windows make the room appear nothing like a room at all. Things have such an open experience to the outsideworld via his ribbon windows and full wall sliding doors.

1st Floor


So A Living Space encorporates Le Corbusiers work and methodologies in a subtle ipad and screen viewing experience whileseemingly relaxing and living in a space that reflects the interior spaces of his structures.

2nd Floor


These spaces are open and use difused light to provide a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The screens shown later play a big pain forming this atmosphere as well.

e structure is made mostly of concrete and iscomparatively small, enclosed by thick walls, with theupturned roof supported on columns embeddedwithin the walls, like a sail billowing in the windycurrents on the hill top. e Christian Church sees

itself as the ship of God, bringing safety and salvationto followers. In the interior, the spaces le betweenthe walls and roof and lled with clerestory windows,as well as the asymmetric light from the wall open-ings, serve to further reinforce the sacred nature ofthe space and reinforce the relationship of the build-ing with its surroundings. e lighting in the interioris so and indirect, from the clerestory windows andreecting othe whitewashed walls of the chapelswith projecting towers.

e structure is built mostly of concrete and stone,which was a remnant of the original chapel built on

This is our style guide, showcasing Futura and Garamond as our primary typefaces, as well as colors and a few design elementImagery is used both in full color states, and black and white to reflect Corbusiers use of vibrant color in his structures.Rectangles also frequent the exhibition design, much like those he used on the facades of his buildings.

A LIVINGSPACE


So when first arriving at the H&R block space, their exterior billboard will contain the advertisement imagery for the exhibition.

A smaller banner would reside at the front entrance to the space to greet foot trac in and out of the exhibition.

Interior entrance. (Ipad)


As they enter the space, an attendant will ofer them their one and only tool to experience the space. An ipad.

Much like reading the paper in ones own home, we wanted this experience to move forward into the media rich world of theipad. Reading seems to encompass a desire to sit back, relax, and take some time to slow down and have a moment to ourselv

The ipad will remain locked to the application, and act much like a magazine would, containing articles on Corbusiersarchitectural theory, the other people he has inspired, and assists the visitor to immerse themselves in a corbusier-like structu

After receiving their ipad, the visitor is set free to explore the space as they wish. They can either continue into the larger spacof the first floor, or up to the more intimate space of the second. However, as the bottom floor will have more people, mostvisitors might be persuaded to head there first. The first floor is a socially active space, utilizing large seating arrangements toaccommodate larger groups. Tables and inward facing Corbusier furniture inspire communication as they experience the ipadapplication together. Any dark gray areas would still remain accessible, but closed of to the general public with the exceptionsthe bathrooms on the second floor.

When entering the space, the other visitors engaging with each other around the furnished living space will catch their attentiofirst. But once they explore the space, theyll notice large screens simulating windows. These are located throughout theexhibition space on both floors, and rotate through the environments around other Corbusier structures.

The first and largest screen is located on the bottom floor. (Click) This screen mimics one of Corbusiers ribbon windows, andspans across the corner shown here. It really opens up the space, and re-situates the location of the H and R block space. It alsprovides various moods for the visitors to experience, and keeps the space from becoming stagnant. The second window scree(Click) on the first floor is located behind a 6 person bar area. A fireplace separates the 6 seats into 2 groups of 3.

Once the visitors get comfortable or wish to explore the space further, they might consider heading up to the second floor. Hethey can look out over the main atrium from the extended balcony, or continue into the more private of the 2 social spaces.Another ribbon window can be seen behind the fireplace (Click) flue that continues upward from the first floor. And on theopposite wall, a full floor-to-ceiling window screen appears (click) to open up and out onto a rooftop garden area. This reallyopens up the space and combines the interior space to outdoor space.

Photos of Block Space


So when in the space, a visitor can sit down, relax, and really take their time to take in Corbusiers 5 points and architecturalinfluence at their own pace. No rush.

The inside of the exhibition is reflectant of many Corbusier designed

interiors. So both the inside and outside of the block space immerses the

visitor in his architecture.
