Concept

The overall concept for my design was based on the design process of an architect.

Parasitic Architecture:
The reason that I have made my room parasitic is to continue the idea of architectural design, the main idea is that architecture aims to add to its surroundings and is based on growth, therefore having a space that is growing from something that is quite blank allows for the design to give something back to its surroundings.

The Form:
The form of the room that I have created stems from the idea that when designing, architects come up with many different concepts they then need to refine to result in a final design. The overall form of my space represents this concept by having a pure shape that has been cut away from to create a new form.

Internal Scheme:
The internal space of the room is intersected by black columns/beams. These are representative of architectural drawings and sketches. These elements cut through the space and outside the space portraying the way in which sketches diagrammatically represent and direct the design process. The application of these elements within the space is based on a desire for their use as functional components. The occupant may use them as supports for furniture, or moments where one might also sit directly upon them.

Windows and Openings:
The main opening for this space is the large open wall that orientates the occupants view towards the city, this allows for the architect to connect with the world around him. The smaller windows that are cut out around a number of the black elements in the interior are there to remind the architect that with every line they draw they need to be able to draw a link to the world around them.
