program and space
COURSE: ARCH 281 | INSTRUCTOR: TEDDY SLOWIK | FALL 2018 | WSOA
The course began with the analysis of a centrally planned precedent. While students were asked to analyze the whole, the focus of the phase was the part. Students began with the analysis of the plan and identified the part that generates the whole.
Partially Similar investigates symmetry in architecture through a study of the part to whole relationships present in centrally planned architecture. Students began with the study of precedents developing and expanding their understanding of symmetry and polygonal geometry.
Starting with the floor plan of Santa Maria Della Salute Cathedral, Italy, new and similar floor plans were created using the circle lineaments of the cathedral focusing on the part to whole relationship. Those similar plans were then
manipulated to produce different variations of the part that was later developed into the floor plans for the given program, an aquarium. The lineaments helped with the circulation as well as the construction of the shell of the project.
