ROOMS: Week 4 

Fête de l'enfance au Familistère de Guise

GODIN Jean-Baptiste André

1933

Musée de Guise, France

Placing the project into the photo-structure:

           

Similar to the referential image by Mies Van Der Rohe, the simple gesture of placing a paper in the photo-structure represents the project.

                                          

Models:

1. A first model using triangulation to create a horizontal surface between the vertical elements of the proto-structure.

            

2. A second element uses compression to connect the verticals.

             

             

Models (Continuation):

3. Another structure creating a support for a surface

            

         

4. This structure follows the side and supports the photo-structure with its diagonals

               

The fragment of the structure containing different elements:

       

In this first week the focus was on an element in form of a overhang, out of the protostructure, to create a contrast between the interior and exterior of the structure.

First Model:

          

Sketches:

    

Sketches by Mélanie

Sketches by Salomé

Continuation:

The simple action of placing a platform with clear limitations is one that can also be executed inside of the photo-structure. The surface is inserted in different places of the photo-structure, on horizontal elements and in-between the verticals.

Models:

First tries of structural elements sustaining a surface in the proto-structure:
