Ok, so the plans took me until almost 5 pm to sort out, as in sort out so I could START drawing! :( but I'm all done the basic outline. None of them have much detail yet, and I have an early class tomorrow, so i am heading off to bed, but here is a photo of them 'in progress'.
I also needed a break from figuring out the complexity of someone else's building and did a rough begining sketch of my cabin for an architect. I tried also to follow the same sketching style as Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira. I don't know how well I achieved this... apart from anything else (particularly in this photo) it looks like my house is positioned on top of a volcano. It's not, just so as you know... That is a tree.
I thought about what was said in the lecture, that the students studying Casa Tolo will probably want to pick a steep site. At the moment I'm experimenting with the idea that Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira was more looking at how the house and site interacted, and how the layers of the house are effected by this, so I'm tending towards a small uneven site around the peak of a hill.
I'm haveing issues at the moment, being unsure if I have to count the roof space as floor space, which will make the 75 square meters awfully hard to fit into. I'll see how we go.
I also think that my bedroom may be too big as all the Casa Tolo bedrooms were 3x3. This may suggest that Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira doesn't believe in big personal space areas,so I may need to focus on moving the space to the 'living' area. That being said the kitchen in Casa tolo was almost not in existance. My space planning may need a little reconsidering.
In any point, enjoy a quick pic of work in progress:
El.
