Massing Model


Link to Full Resolution

Can be divided into 3 main keywords:

Hierarchy 
-play with the height of floor
-extend parts to the front
-subtracting space
-inportance of room

Symmetry
-Equal sides
-Aligned with old building
-Balance

Clash between old/new
-less strict
-contemporary
-materiality
-curvy shape


Massing Model 1 - High Zygosity
High symmetry - looks same similar to old building,
mostly old material but program inside is
very hightech.


Massing Model 2 - Medium Zygosity
High Hierarchy - the form looks different now.
play with how the room are arranged, how
it is extended out - more important.
Mix of old and new material.


Massing Model 3 - Low Zygosity
More use of new material - the use of
curvy modern shape. Program inside is
very strict, contrasting with the modern
form outside.

The site is the same as my case study building.
The new building is located at the back of the old building.

Program
Old building - museum telling the story of education
in the city during late 19th and early 20th century
Traditional museum - exhibits

New building - high tech museum that digs more deeply
into the histocal content of glasgow
The life of people in glasgow during world war.
Impact of technological change on society/culture
Moderm museum - interactive activity, atmospheric.

Clash Between Old and New
Use materiality and form as a way to play with
the DNA of new/old. This has been applied horizontally.

The side that is connected to the old
building uses the same material which is brick
however, the form is now changed to curvy form.
Brick - Old
Curvy form - New
The style of floor layering is also old - Pancake style

Then as it get further away from the old building to
the back, the material changes to composite panel
which is a newer material. The form is also
transformed into simple form geometry shape.
Composite Panel - New
Simple Form - Old
The style of floor layering is new - Raumplan

Symmetry
The new and old building align perfectly.
The window panel DNA from the original building
has also been expressed as a reflective material
in the new building., as well as the entrance.

The entrance has been moved to the back,
basically, the original entrance is now closed.

Hierarchy

Hierarchy has been taking part in this project

as well, it's being conveyed vertically.

 The DNA has been taken directly from my case 

study's educational philosophy. The idea of 

the higher from the ground, the older the people 

is being expressed in the new building as well.

2nd floor - knowledge/office space for older ones

1st floor - mix ture of knowledge and interactive space

Ground floor - interactive activities for small children

The circulation of the walkway (floor planning type)

is also different in each floor. The feeling of 

a person would change according to it.

Corridor - strict / like a person tells you where to walk

Hall - free / you can walk anywhere you like.

2nd floor - corridor

1st floor - mixture of corridor and hall

Ground floor - hall

Play Gifts and Manipulative
Extract the DNA of my building's 
educational philosophy and use it
to explore devices for learning.

From the last phase, I am able to extract 3
 keywords from the building.

CLASH BETWEEN CLASSICISM AND MODERN


BALANCE OF OPPOSITE


HIERACHY





How to play










there are 1 types of play piece but each sides are different
 Each represents the opposite of each other.



First you need to assemble the pieces given

 there will be 2 types of the white pieces

1 attracts the green and repel the red

and 1 repel the green but attracts the red

The pieces will only be allowed on the ones that 

makes them float

the black base stays in the middle, this one

has no effect on any color, its the neutral base.

same color attract, different color repel. (only consider the top surface color)
hierachy.



after playing one a game, as you can see, red wins because
it gets 4 consecutive top piece in straight line.

Didactic DNA
In this phase, a number of institutional
case-study are being proposed for us to choose.
Our goal is to analyze both architecture and
their educational philosophy in order to
produce a total of 9 plate matrix template.


Scotland Street School

This was the architecture chosen by me,

the building is located in Glasgow, Scotland.
It's a 3-stories school for infants to 14 years old.
It was designed by Charles Rennie Macintosh
in theyear 1904.

Here is the overview of what I've analysed


The main DNA of this was the symmetry, the strict
scottish baronial style and as well as the intruduction to
modernism where there's a clash between classical architecture
and the organic pattern form in the detail.

Now, Let's go through all the plates...

Row 1 - THE BUILDING

Whole

The school was in symmetry form, which suits Macintosh's
passion in the balance of opposites. The symmetry suggested
the idea of staying in rules, strict, contained and being equal
However, this was not mainly caused by
Macintosh, but the governments who provided the rules that the
entrance shall separate between girls and boys.
As you can see, there is a clear separation between the 2 sexes,
the cloakroom, entrance, playground, stair are all separated.
This is not just it, the education provided for each sex is also different.
Boys are meant to do wood work, find money.
Girls are meant to cook, clean and stay at home.

There's also a hierarchy involved, As you can see, smaller children
are on the ground floor while the older ones stay at the top,
this gives the sense of seniority in the school

Another thing is the style of the architecture.
It's Scottish Baronial Style. This style gives out the
feeling of being in a formal place, not like home.

Not just with the seniority, the hierarchy in this school
continues to each classroom as well. Teachers are the ones in
control during class, children were meant to pay attention to
only the teacher, this can be suggested due to the formation
of the seats, where all the children faced only the teacher.

The only classroom that breaks away from the strict
atmosphere is the cooking class for girls on the 2nd floor where
Macintosh puts in his identity of curved vaulted ceiling
which gives the sense of Scottish tower cooking room.

Lighting is also very important in this building since this building
has a corridor style which was unusual in that era, this middle
corridor allows all the light to get through all the classrooms
which is on the edge. The orientation of the class are being
considered as well as light is supposed to come in from
the left shoulder of the children so that their right hand won't
cast shadow on what they are doing.

This modern unusual window on the tower is also
one of Macintosh's identity. He did this because he want
lights to flow in as much as possible. The open void in the tower
as well, so that there won't be anything blocking the flow of light.

Detail

This was the little details Macintosh tries to put in all of his work,
The passion of plants, curved lines and organic form.
He represented the children as plant, and knowledge as
light. Plants need lights in order to grow, as well as children
who needed knowledge in order to grow into a better person.

Row 2 - BUILDING BY THIS ARCHITECT

Here are the DNA extracted from other Macintosh's work.
The idea of symmetry runs along his vein. However, The Glasgow
School of Art isn't that symmetry, this is because since
it's a college, the rules aren't that strict anymore, you
can think what ever you want unlike the Martyr's School
which is still a public school, the rules are more strict.

Parts

Other facades by Macintosh also suggest that he was
into modernisation where the natural lights can be used
more often and % of glass on the facade was more
than before due to new technology.

Detail

Other Macintosh's Building also contains organic form detail.
This can be said that this was also one of the main DNA,
the use of metal has been introduced, since metal is malleable, it
can be bend into any forms, not just straight lights.
This was another avant-garde style where he did what
most of other people dont do.

Row 3 - STYLE RELATED TO MY BUILDING

An explanation of this style by the use of other buildings.
It has the same characteristics.

Part

The use of large windows by Macintosh was later developed
into much famous building's today.

Talking about classrooms, here I compared classrooms
of Scotland Street School with other types of classes.
This can be explained that the educational philosophy
 of then and now is very different

Detail

Link to full Resolution

The idea of Art Nouveau - organic pattern.
This style doesn't just occur with Macintosh but other artists and 
architect as well, and the time it occurs was very close to
each other eventhough they are at different places.
