Design project 2 -Articulated lighting

Never realize that I failed to upload the design project 2,keep loading and loading ...

So now here is my new update of my project 2 due to crash of old one...

Delicate Articulated Lighting

Delicate articulated lighting -combined the 3 main core ideas of mobius house-Endless space,Space Linked by common space and also space planning according to time.

The delicate articulated lighting was inspired by articulated composition which contain the feeling of glorious and delicate.

The delicate articulated lighting  create shadow to show detail of every single element of lighting.

Delicate articulated lighting create shadow on the wall to show detail of every single element of the lighting

Also create shadow to the ceiling 

Each small elements was attached on a path and  connected to common space

The form of circle was inspired by the concept of mobius house,which is flexible,dynamic and lively.

Write up:

The delicate articulated lighting combined the main 3 core ideas  of mobius house -Endless space,Spaces linked by common space and Space planning according to time.

The endless space can be showed by using the form from bottom all the way to top and each tiny elements were attached on a path and linked to each other to form endless chain.Every single elements were linked to a point and form a space to reveal the concept Spaces linked by common space.The Space planning according to time can be showed by the brightness of light and also the shadow created on wall and ceiling.

The main way of delicate articulated lighting to show its detail is create the shadow on the wall and ceiling.The pattern of the elements of lighting were inspired by  articulated composition which contain the ambient and feeling of glorious and delicate .The form and shape of the lighting also combine the main concept of Mobius house -Flexible,free and dynamic.

House Vi-Complete model

House VI, or the Frank Residence, is a significant building designed by Peter Eisenman, completed in 1975. His second built work, the getaway house, located on Great Hollow Road near Bird's Eye Brook in Cornwall, Connecticut (across from Mohawk Mountain Ski Area) has become famous for both its revolutionary definition of a house as much as for the physical problems of design and difficulty of use. At the time of construction, the architect was known almost exclusively as a theorist and "paper architect," promulgating a highly formalist approach to architecture he calls "postfunctionalism." Rather than form following function or an aesthetic design, the design emerged from a conceptual process, and remains pinned to that conceptual framework.

Unfortunately, Eisenman's limited construction experience meant that the entire building was poorly detailed. The tiny building took 3 years to build, went completely over budget, and finally had to be reconstructed in 1987, leaving only the basic structure original. The Franks, in Peter Eisenman's House VI: The Client's Response, claim that they nonetheless love living in such a poetic structure, which they inhabit with their children. Also on the property is a barn for guests and supplies that do not fit in the kitchen.

The building is meant to be a "record of design process," where the structure that results is the methodical manipulation of a grid. To start, Eisenman created a form from the intersection of four planes, subsequently manipulating the structures again and again, until coherent spaces began to emerge. In this way, the fragmented slabs and columns lack a traditional purpose, or even a conventionalmodernist one. The envelope and structure of the building are just a manifestation of the changed elements of the original four slabs, with some limited modifications. The purely conceptual design meant that the architecture is strictly plastic, bearing no relationship to construction techniques or purely ornamental form.

Consequently, the use of the building was intentionally ignored - not fought against. Eisenman grudgingly permitted a handful of compromises, such as a bathroom, but the staircase lacks a handrail, there is a column abutting the kitchen table, and a glass strip originally divided the bedroom, preventing the installation of a double bed.
