PROJECT 2

Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality Introspective Pavilion

What is Introspective?

‘The act or process if looking into oneself’ (Dictionary.com,2020) ‘It is very natural to say that, in similar fashion, we can become aware of the current events in our own minds. Instead of turning outward to physical events, the mind turns inward on itself and perceives a procession of mental events. Locke spoke of the faculty of refection, Kant spoke of inner sense, modern philosophy often speaks of introspection.’ (D. M. Armstrong, 1963)

What is a Pavilion?

‘lightly constructed, ornamental building, often used as a pleasure-house or summer house in a garden and also as a projecting subdivision of some larger building. (J. Fleming, H. Honour and N. Pevsner, Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (England: Penguin Books, 1999), 427) ‘the pavilions are designed as single-bodied buildings located within the park or garden of a larger edifice’ (G. Tuncbilek, 2020)

What are diagrams?

‘Diagrams are one of the tools of analysis; they can reveal geometric patterns providing order to a work of architecture….. must also satisfy purpose: its functions must engage its form. The distinction between formal principles and functional objectives comprises the difference between perceived pattern and architectural intent, which begins with the architect’s sensitivity to the experience of inhabitation’. (Balmer & Swisher, 2019)

What are Architectural Principles?

Architectural Principles are the fundamental ideas that the Architect uses to achieve a successful design outcome such as balance, axis, symmetry, contrast etc.

Reflection

In this project I was in a group with Gabriel, Alvin and Omar. We all work together as a group and overall the group work was consider ok and I hope that we could do better in the future as a group. Through this assignment I have learn a lot on the way to design a pavilion that is able to be place on any places and I have learn to work and discuss as a group together and I hope I will do better in the next assignment
