PROPORTION & ORGANISATION


PROPORTION & ORGANISATION

The Concept of proportion and organisation, they both share the same concept which discuss on one major differences. The difference regarding Palladio's, Le Corbusier's and Rowe's text. Spatial geometry, proportion, and organization have been central discourse in architecture for centuries, but their hierarchical relationships among them have varied.



PROPORTION

Proportion is the relationship between parts or things. In particular harmonious, proper or desirable relationships and the balance of symmetry. Proportion is the visual effect of the relationships of the various objects and spaces that make up a structure to one another and to the whole.


ORGANISATION



Organisation is the separation or connection between similar or dissimilar uses, helps to clarify aspects of use and establishes similarity or contrast between spaces. Organisation refers to the structure and form, The architecture of buildings and homes involves dividing interior spaces into various rooms that have their own purposes.


CASE STUDY
VitraHaus by Herzog & de Meuron


'To Create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects."
-Le Corbusier



VItrahaus located in Müllheimer Straße 59, 79576 Weil am Rhein, Germany. The VitraHaus The concept of connecting two themes that appear repeatedly in the work of Herzog & de Meuron, the archetypal theme of the house and stacked volumes.

The proposal for the VitraHaus, was especially appropriate for architects rediscovered the idea of the ur-house or townhouse, since the main purpose of the five-story building is to provide furniture and household objects. Due to the proportions and dimensions of indoor Herzog & de Meuron used the term “domestic level” as the exhibition halls is reminiscent of family residences.

The Spaces

The "individual houses'", which share the general characteristic of being an exhibition space, conceived as abstract elements with only a few exceptions, the front ends of all the bodies are made of glass overlay, large windows highlighting structural volumes seem have been created with a press, with its clear shapes and sections fixed overlooking the landscape.


The VitraHaus is stacked on total of five floors, with a pitched roof and the floors are intersect with adjacent slabs, forming 12 houses. The rooms create an assembly in 3D, a stacking houses, with have an exterior that make it look unique.


The complexity of the interior arises not only by the orientation of the houses, but also the integration of the second geometric concept. All steps are integrated in the environments expansively as organic volumes are figuratively eating his way through the various levels of the building, sometimes fascinating show visual relationships between the various houses, others block the view. 


Structure

 When stacking the “houses” on top of other pieces of wall are that are aligned from the first to the top floor. Are these pieces of “matching walls” that generate the supporting elements of the structure of this project.


All structural elements are made of reinforced concrete.

SIMPLICITY AND COMPLEXITY

 SIMPLICITY AND COMPLEXITY Regards of simplicity and complexity which we had discussed from the lecture today, I will be discussing about the design project that I had developed during my Year 2 Sem3. In the project, we are required to design a Art Gallery in a specific site which located in Shah Alam. The reasons I choose this specific project is because I find that the layout design and outcome of the building suits well to the ‘Simplicity’ concept. Simplicity ,t he result is a beautiful rhythmic quality. Repetition with a simple expression of materials creates the  architecture's simplicity .  The building basically is a two storey building which blend in with natural and modern element.   From the ground floor , the first thing we can see is  the lobby and the reception area which is located in the middle of the building. As the building is purpose for the people who doing quilting activity , so the lobby is set at a moderate area whi...
