</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Floor area taken up by the stair is the second issue, both options are the same when having more than one flight of stairs, e.g. joining more than two levels.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have chosen the 5x5x3.5 grid on this basis.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The second option is the minimum space to contain a returning stair reaching 3500, allowing a ceiling height of 3000.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This synopsis divides a wide range of ideas into three main theories. The theories are used to explain the design process for my final project, the aneX building system. It will discuss three key speakers from this year’s Speaker Series.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Introduction</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My final project began with many disconnected ideas. In this synopsis I have identified my ideas, together with ideas of the guest speakers, allowing comparison to be made between the theories of the speakers and my own, throughout my final project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Introduction to Theories: </span>All-Scale, Anti-Object and Access-Value</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The three main theories, which I have named, are: All-Scale, Anti-Object and Access-Value. As a mental tool kit, the theories have been employed in various tasks. The theories formed intentions, acted as or pointed at references, and became the ‘state of mind’ when thinking of certain problems.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All-Scale theory:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As an ‘intention’ All-Scale is a reminder to review the reach of our concepts. Not to just apply each concept as a façade to the finished product but to use the concept on all scales from material choice and detailing to master-planning and the way we deal with the context and how the project will age and be used in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a ‘reference’ All-Scale may help to discover methods, arrangements, networking and other compositions from one scale, which may be useful at many other scales. For example, most structural forms can be found in nature at one scale or another. A century ago Antoni Gaudi looked at natural forms, from the hyperbolic curve of a tree-trunk to the parabolic arcs of string and weight models. Gaudi took nature from one scale to another, creating built forms computers have only now begun to produce. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Anti-Object theory</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As an ‘intention’ Anti-Object rejects icons and egos, the intention is beyond the object. What makes the object?, how does it relate to its context? As Marshall McLuhan wrote in his 1964 book ‘Understanding Media, the extension of man’, “the medium is the message”<span style="font-size: x-small;">3</span> McLuhan says the ‘content’ is a distraction from the underlying action, which the ‘medium’ subversively performs. The medium, in this case, is architecture. But the title ‘architecture’ is too general. Our media are space, materials, construction and all the social, environmental and economic elements. Our projects affect all of these, either deliberately or unconsciously. The McLuhan-esque ‘subversive content’ in our case is the product presented to a Local Council or the public or printed on letterheads or billboards. It is the icon, which becomes a part of our communal language. But still it is just a symbol and often a distraction from what is really going on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anti-Object intentions are focused on the flow-on effects of the medium, making the composition of these effects the driver of the design. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a ‘reference’, Anti-Object points us towards existing relationships or systems. Natural living organisms can be a guide with their almost infinite array of systems. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a ‘state of mind’, Anti-Object has no ego. Anti-Object is not concerned with death, death is a process and all natural process should be embraced. As Kish Kurokawa, architect of the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo put it “true beauty lies in things that die, things that change.”<span style="font-size: x-small;">4</span> An Anti-Object ‘state of mind’ has a boarder perspective than the mind focused on its own creation. For architects this means being more aware of the effects of their actions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and more informed about their clients and wider stakeholders.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Access-Value theory</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Access-Value is largely the intention to increase the value of the resources and people we are working with. The word ‘Access’ is chosen because an objects value can be assessed by its importance in relation to other objects. ‘Access’ emphasises this communal connection, without which there is no value.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marcus Spiller, Director of SGS Economics and Planning, uses the term “effective density.”6 Effective density refers to how connected a location is. It is measured by how many places one can access within a given time say, fifteen minutes. It is obvious that a place with many businesses nearby will have a high ‘effective density’ because it is dense. The same place, with a public transport system allowing quick access to more businesses, has a higher effective density as even more can be accessed within the given time frame. The importance of effective density is that business and people in areas of higher effective density earn more and are worth more, they have greater Access-Value. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As an ‘intention’, ‘Access-Value endeavours to make objects and people more adaptable, flexible and independent with a quest for autonomy in parallel with universal connectivity. Relevant to all, dependant on none. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a ‘reference’ ‘Access-Value’ provides obvious tests. Is object ‘X’ relevant to anything else? – The more the better. Is object ’X’ dependant on anything else? – The less the better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a ‘state of mind’ Access-Value outwards, is designing objects which are relevant to as greater number of other objects as possible. While inwards is the quest for autonomy. The ability to adapt between and have as few dependencies as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Origin of theories</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many ideas, interests and influences came together resulting in these three theories. Through the blog of my process and references I was able to revisit and decode this landscape into something coherent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always been interested in how one object can perform many tasks. This basic idea results from resourcefulness and the quest for autonomy. In primary school for an invention assignment I put skis on a skateboard, it was a reversible renovation to the skateboard. Increasing the skateboards usefulness while maintaining the original function. Regardless of the success of the ski-board nothing was lost. This is freedom. The ability to progress, without fear of loss. In architecture this has attracted me to modular systems. I wrote manifestos like this</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All-Scale ideas</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interest in fractals came from reading about chaos theory, properties like ‘self similarity’ where any section of an object looks like the whole thing. This can be seen in natural watercourses where a centimetre wide channel displays the same characteristics as a kilometre wide channel of water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These ideas are All-Scale:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Repetition</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Anti-Object ideas</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Further research in architecture lead my interest to metabolism, a process. Metabolism was an architectural movement beginning in 19589. Metabolists saw the city as a living organism dependant on continuous change. They didn’t achieve this theory through iconic buildings such is the Nakagin Capsule Tower and Habitat67 but I have been able to learn from them. The buildings represent what was meant to be social change, a change in function of both society and building.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Metabolism was my earliest idea of Anti-Object other ideas in this theory are;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Diversity</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Natural organisms</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Re-use</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Density</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Multiplicity</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• The architect doesn’t impose their style on the work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Opposite of ‘a building in the round’</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Opposite of an unchanging ego icon.</span><br />

Metabolism stands as a reminder; the capsules in Capsule Tower are supposed to be an expression of their owner’s identity. But the capsules can’t be individually removed; there is no market to even buy a replacement capsule. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These ideas are Access-Value:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Human power. Individual control over ones environment. This can be achieved if assembly is intuitive and of a human scale. I have often referred to Ikea regarding this idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Re-use, if something can be used again its value is prolonged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Adaptability, if something can be used in many ways its value is multiplied. We should be investing in objects such as these.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Speaker example 1: </span>Rachel Neeson and Nick Murcutt May 25th</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the talk I was not overly interested by their work however, I admired the detailing and finishes they achieved with simple materials. Looking back now, they are the most significant practitioners informing my own theories and I am further impressed by their work. I have dissected their work into the theories I found in my own ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All-scale: </b>To begin with, we heard they always had at least two people working on each project so they could come at it from both micro and macro. One would be looking at the overall context, the large scale. Discovering and identifying the site and its particular surrounds. While another (often a student) would be playing with the details, puzzling with the concept. Happening simultaneously meant that any discoveries or ideas could be tested at each end of the spectrum at the same time. Eventually the project would become one as the opposite scales met.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Anti-object: </b>Something we were privileged to be presented with, as no magazine took the time to reveal, is a recurring treatment in Neeson Murcutt’s suburban work. It is the progression of the design beyond the design. Once the job was done, someone kept working. The residential design has been repeated; new forms of suburbia are explored. We can see this in Zac’s House 2006, different possibilities of the design in multiplicity are shown. The multiple diagrams accentuate the design decisions they have made such as building to the boundary on three sides of the house. Their "potential for increased urban density"12 image shows various arrangements the house could form to create more dense suburbs. The different arrangements rely on increasing deviation from our normal suburban situation and in turn increase in density. Common boundaries are increased until the last diagram where gardens become communal spaces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Access-value:</b> Understanding of the value of density is obvious in Neeson Murcutt’s work. Think Brick 2007 is an exemplary design. Not only is it an attempt to increase density they have also used recycled brick, in turn reducing cost, reducing waste and creating diversity.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More an artist than an architect Morton challenges the interpretation of architecture by presenting it in new ways. I thought I would relate more to his models of ‘average’ balconies than I have. My interpretation of his work is now a wider perspective. Seeing through the content of his art, the medium is the message, which is why it is important for architecture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>All-scale: </b>Scale is an obvious element of Morton’s work. He produced small-scale replicas of popular architecture including Habitat67. In doing so he allows the architecture to be experienced at this new scale where viewers witness lights and sound effects mimicking that which may go on in the environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Anti-object: </b>Architecture is the medium of Morton’s work. His models go beyond the architecture. The architecture becomes a symbol upon which wider sensations can be realised. The content of his work is the way in which the viewer observes and responds to his installations. The subversion Morton achieves is bringing highways into the galleries. Out of scale and out of context the audience relates to Morton’s work in ways which are impossible in reality.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Speaker example 3:</span> Sasha Coles of Aspect Oct 21th</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Landscape architect from Sydney, Sasha Coles’s body of work has no overriding visual characteristics. There is no signature to his work, nothing iconic; one could say the ego is suppressed. However personally talking through some of his projects revealed a common process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Anti-object: </b>When I asked Coles if he had a particular style, his answer was “no”. His work is the result of his process. Analysis, consultation, respect and care are characteristics of his work. Not visually obvious, what Coles brings to his projects is indeed ‘anti-object’. His work is the result of the circumstances. Opposite to ‘a building in the round’ or a Gerhy icon which is much more imposed upon the circumstance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Access-Value:</b> The title of Coles’ talk was “generosity in the everyday landscape”. His work is a quest to access-value. Taking what is already there and making it more relevant, it becomes important and is valued. His ‘the meeting place’ in a Sydney laneway 2009 does just that. Interactions, which previously would never have occurred, become the focus in this new space. The space makes its inhabitants more relevant to each other. In an inspiring way, individuals become conscious of themselves, observing values that may have previously been invisible.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">How I used these theories</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Believing modular prefabricated structures to be the future for architecture. I thought the Metabolist structures of the 60’s and 70’s were on the right track but not quite adapted to reality. ‘Access-value’ was the theory first employed. My structure had to be cost effective in construction and assembly. This is where the Metabolists failed. I also believe the reliance on trucks and cranes to be a de-valuing dependencie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now applying the all-scale theory to these ideas I was able to multiply the improvements. First the structure is divided into human scale components reducing the cost for assembly and renovation, secondly the assembly itself is simplified to an ‘Ikea’ level of skill, further reducing the dependencies. No cranes, no specialist trades required cost saved. The Anti-Object theory is another point where the Metabolists failed. I use this from a material level, where each cube in the 3D-grid has the potential to form any space type depending on the components, which are chosen to plug into the structure and form the space. All-scaling this idea brakes the perception of a building. I am now dealing with a Building system. There is no set form, no icon. It is truly anti-object.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anti-object doesn’t stop there, as the theory outlines it is not afraid of death. Death does not imply the abandonment of form. Look at Callum Morton the medium is embraced. Form is embraced at all stages. Like the Japanese Shrine at Ise15 over 2000 years old. Rebuilt every 20 years. AneX may become immortal through mass production. The building may grow in stages never finished but always habitable. It is now that the metabolism can really happen. The design of ‘aneX’ supports reuse. Not only are the components easily assembled and disassembled by un-specialised labour it is also cheap, yet again we do not require a crane. This means any part of the building can be cheaply deconstructed and reused onsite or at another location.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The final aspect of all-scale which excels aneX’s affordability and resourcefulness is the conditions of mass production. Products become cheaper and waste is reduced in the factory environment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AneX can be described as: an affordable, reusable, mass-produced, multi-outcome, building system, of human scale components, capable of being assembled by an untrained client. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pure theory is impossible to sell, let alone call architecture. In addition to the theory behind the aneX building system I had to brand it. To inject some form of identity in to it so that it may be recognised, used in language, bought and sold. I have been encouraged, which I agree with, to bring aneX closer to our socially accepted appearance of architecture. To form, using the system, compositions recognisable as architecture. This has been the final phase of my design process. As Neeson Murcutt used all-scale, starting at polar opposite scales and meeting in the middle. I am both repackaging the aneX building system and repackaging traditional concepts of architecture, this is the final step in my final project. To reveal itself as an object.</span><br />

<br />
the moon landing scene could form the beginning of a narrative.<br />
o First the aneXmodule is assembled as one single unit on the site<br />
o With the initial module as a base the site is analyzed . Planning rules defining opportunities and constraints are tagged to the context. This forms the development envelope.<br />
o positioning of the overall grid is established and the initial module moves to comply.<br />
o the same frame of initial module in different context is displayed for rural, suburban and other interesting locations, terrains and obstacles. each with a virtual grid extending like tentacles from the initial module.<br />
the virtual grid is a ghosted image over the site, different colours could define different zones or height allowances.<br />
o we then flick to a catalogue of apartments, stores, offices, hotels and many other building types, sizes and shapes. These are the aneX'<br />
Each aneXdesign can be tried out and examined in detail through the catalogue.<br />
density bra sizes/ material and colour choices<br />
o a store is chosen as the second aneX to the site.<br />
o now we watch the structure grow as more designs are aneXed.<br />
o Your friend chooses a cool apartment design from the catalogue then selects from the available locations on the structure for its positioning.<br />
o Now say you want to build next to your friend, here are the aneX homes which will fit in that location.<br />
o your aneX is ready, and here are the instructions for assembly.<br />
o let's put it together…<br />
materials and component sizes are reveald here as well as the plug and play electrical, plumbing and other networks for whatever appliances you desire.<br />
o you get married and have a baby so you aneX another bedroom and a bathroom.<br />
o Your kids have grown up and your husband has died so you sell your extra rooms and your aneXhouse gets smaller.<br />
<br />
what's missing in this presentation: <br />
o urban scale implications and taking over the city. <br />
o turning one space into another<br />
o recycling<br />
o site network connection, digging out the basement<br />
o integration of advanced technology<br />
o materiality - cellulose<br />
o garden space<br />
o no more roofs, green-space or patio only<br />
o the living networks within the grid structure. -power plumbing, optical fiber, beer…Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850505811960037930.post-5001737850013400502009-10-31T00:29:00.000+10:302009-10-31T00:29:02.613+10:30crit with Paul B 30/10<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_II7vB6Rfop8/SurxDF8Q_8I/AAAAAAAAED8/1-lGg1h_Nvk/s1600-h/emergancy-spacing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_II7vB6Rfop8/SurxDF8Q_8I/AAAAAAAAED8/1-lGg1h_Nvk/s400/emergancy-spacing.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The major difference between my translation and Kurokawa's tower is the core.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Kurokawa's was 2 separate spiral towers which linked together intermittently. Mine provides access to both stair wells from every floor by joining the cores in this W-shape. A huge change i have made is that the capsules are now about 4 times as large. I used 2 aneX cubes for each capsule whereas scale wise the kurokawa capsules are half the size (2x4m) of the aneX cube (5x5m)</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kurokawa's tower was 13 floors so this translation is matching.<br />
</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here you can see the weaving of the core, the blue shows the next floor down.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kurorawa's design made the core and circulation minimal. I don't know the ratio of core area to access/private area</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> but that would be a useful experement to find simply for this zig-zag core what scale produces the best yeild. limits would be the 18m between each stair as a fire escape.</span><br />
