<\/a><\/p>\nThis thesis suggests how a basic volume be operated with verbs as a
\nfundamental design tool of generating the volumetric hybrids.
\nThis inspires a logic and systematic approach on consideration of spatial
\ncharacter or programatic needs by operating of actions.
\nThis thesis aims at provoking abstract spatial thinking and volumetric interplay
\nto develop a new method of exploring spatial experience and architectural
\ninterpretation.<\/p>\n
WHY?<\/p>\n
Steven Holl’s Parallax<\/em> Precedent<\/em> My Proposition<\/em> \n WHAT?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSteven Holl describes \u201cspace\u201d as the essence of architecture. It is a new elastic spatial perception
\nor architectural experience that depends on the movement of the body through space. Space is
\nsimultaneously many things \u2013 the voids in architecture, the space around architecture, the cast space
\nof landscape and city space, intergalactic spaces of the univrse. Space is something both instrinsic and
\nrelational. Vertical and oblique slippages are key to new spatial perceptions. The turn and twist of the
\nbody engaging a long and then short perspective, an up-and-down movement, an open-and-closed or
\ndark-and-light rhythm of geometries \u2013 these are the core of the spatial score of architecture.<\/p>\n
\nThe High Line is a precedent urban park that reclaims a former elevated railroad for new use, promoting
\ntimely principles of ecological sustainability, urban regeneration and adaptive reuse. Preservation and
\ninnovation come together to establish an urban corridor for habitat, wildlife and people. In addition to
\nproviding valuable open space for New York City, the High Line has become an economic generator
\nfor the neighborhood, attracting investment toward new cultural institutions, commercial and residential
\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n
\nI was inspired by the Steven Holl and I would like to introduce operative verbs as an new approach in
\ndesign process to think about the interaction of volumes in space, relationship of interior and exterior, at
\nvarious scales and perspectives. The actions are defined to differentiate how they operate volumetrically
\nfor the starting point of creation of space. Responding to programmatic requirements and given site coditions,
\nthe transformation of volume is by logic volumetric organization of the aggregations and combinations.<\/p>\n
