Formal Devices - facade strategies & types of openings
Ribbon Windows versus Skylight
- Ribbon Windows
- Dividing 4 different categories on different side of the facade : (South-East: Bedroom for Master & Son) ; (South-West: Sum-trap Terrance) ; (North-West: Beautiful of View) ; (North-East: Services)
- South-East facade
- Since this is the south-east side, those openings is intend to let sunlight in especially for sunrise. It comes out with the idea of placing bedroom in those side.
- Representing the area of living
- The amount of ribbon windows can saturated the unity of the room and two extreme type of spaces in the master bedroom
- Amount of sunlight can distinguish the type of space
- Lighting Strategies can be defined the place between public and private
- North-West & South-West facade
- 2 types of opening appears
- full-glaze sliding panel
- another medium allows sunlight to come inside the living area
- ribbon windows
- providing comparison between the openings
- configuration responding to the opposed pull of sun and views
- North-East favade
- services sides can provide an environment for early working
- Ribbon windows provide a panorama view
- Framing the landscape and the entire environment into a "photo-frame" like arts
- Framing different angles through the environment will receive a dominant gradation of view
- High level abstraction will be created in different angles
- Provides differences between entire green environment and the living spaces
- Skylight
- Enhancing the type of space
- Provide a bird-eye view from the private area
- Highlighting privacy in the same area with enhancing circulations of the architecture
- Joining interiors
- Leading audience from bathroom into master bedroom
- Providing a "Solarium" inside the indoor area
- Leading as an promenade architecture
- Allows the promenade architecture strategies as using lights to integrate with circulations
- Highlighting the room of entrance
- 16 grids as the principal of Golden Section
- Columns are being placed in the wall
- Pierced around without interrupted the view that provided by window
- Avoid exploding the structure elements on the outermost side
- Free Floor Plan
- taking the liberties
- Pilotis are lifting up the first floor
- Relieved the load-bearing wall
- Partitions can be freely placed according where aesthetically needed
- Free Facade
- No longer being insulating of windows and walls
- Columns can be placed inside the house rather on the surface
- Floors can be freely continuous by constructing cantilever
- There are different structures like in-filled structures and expose structures
Architectural Attitude Towards Material
- the materials of the color and materials used can reflect by how much light come inside the architecture
- Green facade in the ground floor are providing the same color tone with the entire landscape
- pioltis look light but the materials used is very hard
- Black colour = strong and tough
- Light color = light and dominant
