Project 2 >> Sketches


Exploring possible formations for the "light slits" on the facade including varying thicknesses, lengths and alignments. These light slits allude to written lines in a book, but are uneven and unclear.

I have decided to use abstract seating within the building, doubling up as stairs. The use of stairs provides a forced circulation passage, symbolic as the woman must struggle to reach her retreat (the reading space in the far left corner).

Also, this theatre-style seating is symbolic. When viewed from the reading space, looking back towards the street appears as if in a cinema, watching the urban world as if it were an empty, fictional movie.
