exercise four. UNDER | OVER week 7

design exercise: plan, elevation, section

under exercise theme: history/historical context over exercise theme: light/ views

For this design exercise, taking inspiration from my cross-section from my under exercise I’ve decided to create an immigration centre. This is to help support new settlers and immigrants into the country and area.

location.

Left image: This image is from 1959. I’ve highlighted the first house my parents first lived in when they arrived to NZ which inspired me to choose this location for my immigration centre. 

Right image: That building no longer exists and now there is a church and parking lot.

site.

I’ve selected a patch of grass next to the parking lot. 

developing an idea.

To introduce as much light into the space and offer views of the area, I wanted to have the building high above the ground on columns. This, to me, was reminiscent of traditional Cambodian houses my father had lived in when he was young.

Here, the concept of history and light intersect. 

final design.

The shape of the roof and materials I wanted to use were inspired by surrounding, existing architecture. Weatherboard is a common cladding material used in this area as well as brick. The house I live in has brick columns therefore, I thought it would connect architecture in this area together. I included a clerestory window and sliding doors to enable light into the space. 

I like how the roof does not entirely mimic a gable roof however, this causes the roof on the balcony to appear smaller as it blocks the sky view. 

plan.

Although the image isn’t very clear, I found a light blue sky printed on paper and decided to draw my plan on it to reflect what the view was over and under the roof. The grey/blue marker used represents the shadow created by the neighbouring trees. I put white, folded, paper to depict the building next door. On the balcony, there is a seating area where people can wait for their turn to talk to an adviser. 

elevation.

I fine-lined the elevation on tracing paper to put on top of the brown papers. The darker brown was used to emphasise the trees and bush in the area while the light brown tissue paper portrays the ground. 

section.

I also fine-lined the section using a fine liner on kraft paper with tracing paper as the ground. The trees were drawn with charcoal.

And right out of a 60's Better Homes & Gardens (wink-wink), comes this 1961 Armet & Davis design. The 4/4 Stone Canyon residence was designed for builders Zoss Construction Company and enjoys incredible views of the LA Basin and Stone Canyon Reservoir. The architects designed a handful of homes in the area. Louis L. Armet, A.I.A. and Eldon C. Davis, A.I.A. were dubbed “the Frank Lloyd Wrights of diner designers” by SF columnist Herb Caen. Much of their restaurant work was in the "Googie" style of modern; Think "Mel's Drive-In", W Hollywood or "Biff's Coffee Shop", Oakland. "Zoss Construction Spec. House", 1962 Armet & Davis, A.I.A.

Within a lovely enclave of mid-century modern home designs by Hugh Kaptur comes this sad little home built in 1959. I couldn't be happier the home is now in the hands of thoughtful and responsive stewards to bring her back to life. Can't wait to see the final results, as it will certainly be a chic compound of sorts. Congrats guys! You deserved this one.
