Le cuirassé potemkine - Sergueï Eisenstein
In terms of articulations and ergonomy, we worked with two scales, one that we can call macro, and the second, micro.
The first one is about the overall scale, the movement, the parkour and its width, the "PATH SHAPE" (121. - A Pattern Language), the celerity of the users and how much they will be.
Diving inside this debate room you see here how it is centred with the protostructure columns and the trees. The fabric roof that transforms into seats was really a big challenge to deal with, to keep in tension this element that links the wooden structure.
From a micro point of view: see the comfort of the seats, soft to touch; it’s the first sense that is enhanced. Other sense that is enhanced. The special light treatment with this transparency appeals to the sight. The transparency is also a signal for people outside who can see that something is happening inside.
The second scale is the human scale, which is more about static and touch.
This results on a lovely parkour, with a special an "ENTRANCE TRANSITION" (112. - A Pattern Language), a "PROMENADE" (31. - A Pattern Language) to this debate room.
Our articulation work starts by considering the trees, then the protostructure: one tree at the centre and the others marking the angles, forming a centred plan.
The bleachers are centred compared to the protostructure, and the latter’s vertical parts stay to slow down the walking speed of users in this dead end, which is surely the most static space in this house.
Some additional work:
Here again, we find this idea of layers, a succession of wooden stairs, bricks, a wood platform, then water. And again, there is an idea of duality
Then direct after this, a bit more under it, we have the “Dock”, with the transition of materials, from wooden elements to bricks and garden wall, we are in the most outdoor place but the warmest, where it feels like a cocoon.
PERSPECTIVE COUPEE - DEBATE ROOM
La débate room a été conçue en prenant en compte étroitement les espaces. L’idée est que, tout au long du parcours avant d’y parvenir, l’on puisse apercevoir son intérieur de différentes manières : l’ombre des personnes s’y trouvant projetée sur la toile, par intermittences entre les poteaux de bois et par bribes entre les végétaux.
De manière générale, on retrouve le lien organique dans la manière dont est conçu le projet du Galpon, c’est aussi vrai pour cette partie : les arbres ponctuent le centre et les angles entre les gradins, ils sont partie intégrante du débat.
A l’intérieur de la débate room, le balcon constitue son toit et la lumière entre par ce puit qu'il engendre. Il permet également de profiter du débat d'une autre manière, d'entendre les voix des protagonistes sans contact visuel direct.
Cette room est une impasse. Les gradins marquent la fin d'une promenade par la manière dont, avec les arbres, ils enclosent le parcours. On y finit son petit bout de chemin en prenant place sur la toile, une assise moelleuse qui se prolonge par-dessus les têtes et en un cocon chaleureux.
On the field, how to mount this?
Four elements are chosen in a projet from ROOMS
Choreography suggestion. Tools: "téléphone arabe" to organise the group work, mindmap to create a nomenclature, coordinates systèmes for the moves, simple moves symbols.
A person is reduced to two arms. Four persons take the M-AM-01, bring it to (7;0) after one turn right, an inclination to pass in the proto, turn left and finally assemble it following detail "Z1".
