Module 2


The Key Points that were introduced this week were:

1. Break up space into three parts

2. Blend elements of old and new to introduce time and space

3. Use light and color to accent any space

4. Frame nature into designed spaces

 5. Repetition of elements help define space

 6. Arrange hierarchy into space




This week there was much talk about how light works with spaces. From how a space brings in light to how a space can allow light to come in through various locations as seen above in Kenzo Kuma's design and is seen in Shigeru Ban's design where he uses paper tubing walls which also allow light to enter his space. There was also discussion on how a space can be transformed by allowing light to enter it. We also discussed literal and phenomenal transparency. Literal would be objects such as walls, windows and any type of reflective or translucent material. Phenomenal is achieved by the design of the structure and using something such as light to extend the already existing lines.
