re_constructing experiment

The first experiment is based on the final stage of the deconstruction process of the frames. Starting from this point, we expanded some parts of the frames so to bridge the gap between the buildings and then started to create spaces in all the three levels by relocating the possible structures that derive from the bay windows.

attempts with surfaces, volumes and frames

We have three sets of modeling experiments. The surfaces, where we tried unfolding them in various ways. The interior volumes, where we focused on the shapes, their structural grid, the relation between the overlapping volumes as well as their potential expansions and last the wooden frames which we completely exploded and tried shorts of combinations. All those attempts are not yet place in the environment but are just object experiments. Their aim though is to make us familiar with structural rules, shapes, material and re constructing potentials, so then we can operate with them in the actual environment.

manual guide for current and newcoming population

Before we place ourselves in the actual environmet , we tried creating a manual which will guide us through the complexity of the site. We divided the population into the current and the new coming, giving potentials for covering their housing, work space and public needs. Depending on the case, we will choose the material to be used from our previous glossary.
