I have just completed my midterm review. As I have mentioned before we are working on Analysis, analyzing 20th century houses. We are working in pairs, and my partner and I are analyzing Villa Dall'ava by Rem Koolhaus. We have been investigating the formal condition which the house is indexing, as well as the embed spatial conditions. For me this has led me to note a potential proto-condition which the house may be derived from. Through my investigation I have begun to notice an axial shift that is playing out between the two possible centers of the house. These observations have lead me to a point in which the object is becoming autonomous from the figure of the site, in fact the relation of the site and the house have begun to give the reference of a hypothetical frame. This is being "racked" by the opposing shifts of the upper level apartments.
At this point I am just being to unravel the potentials of this "parti" and the ability for the movements to create a new object removed but indexed by the original object. We will be continuing this investigation through the remainder of the semester, and I am hoping to push these observations beyond simple formal shifts eventually reducing the figure as a whole to this potential proto-condition.
