WEEK 2 - Initial Stages

Parti and Poche






Sketch model

WEEK 1 - PARTI and POCHE

Trying to understand the difference:
PARTI - diagramatic; simple; functions of the building; conceptual; idea
- organisation of activities affects behaviour
POCHE - specifics; perception; rendered; richness
- what does it feel like to walk through the building

PROJECT 1: Utzon's 'Can Feliz'

What is Can Feliz???

"Machine for viewing"


"Off centre colums to articulate zones of transition and rest"


"Can Feliz is almost as much a built landscape as a building"


"house and terrace"
"garden and nature"
"structure and light"





Utzon and Can Feliz

This is where, with the deepest respect, I face nature, and with the greatest passion, contemplate the sun and the land in front of me."
