Vaziyet Planı




Based on the characteristics of shared and personal use, the house was designed as a "whole," then split into two parts and reassembled. The "interval" between the two prisms forming the ‘house’ separates and reunites the shared and personal use spaces. The "living space" is a empty box capable of easily adapting to changing uses over time. It opens up to the outside through large glass surfaces, allowing the outside to come in.  The building is divided into its constituent parts down to the smallest unit, these parts are analysed in terms of their relations with other parts and the whole, just like in the spatial fiction of the house, and reassembled with a clear, legible relationship.
        This relationship between the parts and the whole was carried through to the entire structure using simple geometric forms.  It also enabled us to create an application that can control itself, where pre-prepared parts are brought together, and ultimately to create a structure as we want.
