My Parti, Poche' submission

PARTI:

The concept of parti was quite confusing at first for me. After some discussions in class and looking at examples in books, I think parti pretty much means using architectural diagrams to explore significant aspects in which the building was built based on as well as recognizing the problems that the architect, in this case is Le Corbusier, dealt with during design process and appreciating the solutions that make up the success of one particular building.








































POCHE:

I've done all the modelling and shading using Google Sketchup. Then images exported were edited by Photoshop to maximize the contrast and cleanliness. Walls and columns were blackened to show their thickness as well as making the interior more profound.


Section

I think the idea of "Promenade Architecturale" and how Le Corbusier organizing spaces in which private area and public area were separated by diagonal axes in plan are some of the most significant features in the design of Villa Savoye. That's why I chose this section since it cuts through both private rooms and the open terrace in level 1 of the building as well as showing clearly how the ramp looks in longitudinal aspect. As we can see in the my rendering, the lighting contrast is especially strong in the middle level where one third of it is filled with dark shade while the rest starting from the ramp is particularly light in color.















Plan: Ground level



















Plan: Level 1
