CASE STUDY : ALVAR AALTO HELSINKI'S UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

IN THIS FINAL PHRASE OF THE CASE STUDY ANALYSIS PROJECT,

STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO DESIGN AN INSTITUTE

WHICH CONTAINS DNA FROM OUR CASE STUDY  

DNA THAT I THOUGHT ARE RELEVANT :
GRID PATTERN LAYOUT (CIRCULATION)
STRUCTURAL FORM OF AUDITORIUM
ARTICULATION OF SKYLIGHT

THESE CHARACTERISTICS ARE THINGS I AIMED TO INCORPORATE INTO
THE DESIGN OF THE TWIN BUILDING INSTITUTE

RESEARCH

I'VE RESEARCHED ON HOW ALVAR AALTO APPLIED THESE CHARACTERISTIC 
INTO HIS OTHER DESIGN, TO UNDERSTAND HIS TYPICAL ARCHITECTURE STYLE

GRID SPACE SUBDIVISION
SPIRAL CIRCULATION
FAN SHAPE LAYOUT
HIERARCHY OF BUILDINGS

PROGRAM

PROGRAM DETERMINE SHAPE AND FORM OF SPACES
FUNCTIONALIST: FUNCTION OF BUILDING SHOULD BE VISIBLE FROM EXTERIOR

MASSING

THREE PROPOSAL
WEB  CIRCULATION
ASCENDING BUILDING 
USING NEGATIVE SPACE

AUDITORIUM MASSING

INSPIRED FROM VARIATION OF SHAPE GENERATE FROM 
PREVIOUS PHRASE'S TOY
CREATE INTERESTING ASSEMBLY SPACE

FINAL
COMBINING DIFFERENT ELEMENTS FROM EACH MASSING
CREATING THE DESIRE FORM WHICH CORRESPOND TO THE SELECTED SITE
(THE BUILDING CURVED ALONG THE SHAPE OF THE SHORE)

AXONOMETRY

SITE

KEMI IS A SMALL CITY IN FINLAND, WITH REASONABLE AMOUNT OF
CITIZEN BUT NO NEARBY PROPER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
THEREFORE, AN OPENING TO A NEW INSTITUTE WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA

NOTICED THAT THE FORM ARE PURPOSELY CURVED ALONG THE
SHORE, AS ALVAR AALTO CONCERNED ABOUT 
ELEMENTS OF SITE

PLAN

I COMBINED THE FAN SHAPE WITH GIRD PATTERN TO CREATE A FAN-GIRD BUILDING.
THE GIRD CIRCULATION ALLOWS EASY ACCESS TOWARD DIFFERENT 
PARTS OF THE BUILDING. THEREFORE, I TRY TO MAINTAIN
THE SYSTEM AS THE BUILDING GOES UP.

Helsinki University of Technology

BUILT IN 1948 BY ALVAR AALTO, LOCATED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 
OTANIEMI, IN THE CITY OF ESPOO, FINLAND. 

THIS SCHOOL'S CURRICULUM WAS DESIGNED TO COMPLETE 
WITH THE TRAINING OF THE TRADE GUILDS, SO STUDENT KNOWS BOTH GENERAL 
& TRAINING FOR TECHNICAL OCCUPATIONS.

see full resolution

THE FORMAT OF THIS RESEARCH LAYOUT PAGE WAS ARRANGED IN THREE CATEGORIZED
COLUMN, THESE ENABLE AUDIENCES TO MAKE COMPARISON BETWEEN DIFFERENT
UNIQUE FEATURES PRESENTED IN EACH WORK, FOR INSTANCE
CIRCULATION, SITE LAYOUT, FORM&SHAPE ETC.

CAMPUS LAYOUT ANALYSIS, THE ARRANGEMENT OF BUILDINGS & NETWORK 
AND CONNECTIONS/ TRANSITION BETWEEN DIFFERENT
BUILDINGS, DEFINING SERIES OF COURTYARD. 


2ND ROW
UNIVERSITY OF JYVASKLA

THIS CAMPUS IS ARRANGED IN U SHAPE LAYOUT, SURROUNDING THE CENTRAL
COURTYARD. THE ORDER OF EACH BUILDINGS ARE VERY
SIMILAR TO SINGLE PART EXTRACTED FROM
THE OTANIMIE CAMPUS

3RD ROW
MUNKAGAARD JACOBSGEN SCHOOL

JACOBS-GEN SCHOOL ALSO USES ARRANGEMENT THAT DEFINE SERIES OF  REPETITIVE 
COURTYARDS, EXCEPT THAT THE BUILDINGS WERE RATHER PLACED IN A 
GRID PATTERN, RESULTED IN A CLEAR VISIBLE CIRCULATION.

PART

 - SPACE OF ASSEMBLY -

1ST ROW
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY'S AUDITORIUM

THIS INFRASTRUCTURE ARTICULATES THE SIDE SPACES, FUNCTION AS THE EXTERIOR 
AMPHITHEATER FACING THE OPEN SPACE, AND ALSO AS AN INTERIOR AUDITIORIUM.
THE SHAPE WAS ADOPTED FROM THE GREEK AMPHITHEATER FORM, CREATING A FEELING OF 
MOMUMENTALITY. 

2ND ROW
RIOLA DI VERGATO

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THESE TWO SPACES OF ASSEMBLY,
ARE THAT BOTH ARE INSTALLED WITH SKYLIGHTS FEATURE, SUNLIGHT ARE DIRECTED INTO 
THE BUILDING THROUGH CLERESTORY WINDOWS INSERTED IN BETWEEN THE CROSS-OVER 
STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING.

3RD ROW

THE MOST RELEVANT CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL GREEK AMPHITHEATER  IS THAT
THE SHAPE OF IT WAS DESIGNED TO ALLOWS FULL VISIBILITY OF ALL AUDIENCES. 
THEREFORE, THE MOVEMENT OF THE FORM IN GOING TOWARDS ONE POINT
;WHICH IS THE CENTER STAGE.

DETAIL

-SKYLIGHT - ARTIFICIAL LIGHT - INTERIOR-

THESE PAGES COMPARES HOW DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS INCLUDE ELEMENTS THEY
THOUGHT ARE IMPORTANT INTO THEIR DESIGN, BUT IN THEIR OWN WAY OF
INTERPRETATION. THESE SHOWS THAT DISTINCT CHARACTERISTIC 
OF HOW WE DEFINES THE STYLES OF EACH ARTISTS.
