Arch 1202 Project 2 Final submission





1  Site & Building : the eastern main facade opens up to Toolo bay. The actual entrance is located on the first storey of the side facing the park. It leads into the entrance hall, in which the cloakroom and various service rooms are located. Moreover, the wide " venetian stairway" leads to the foyer, from which one comes to the large hall, the small hall or the restaurant. Two smaller stairways lead out of the foyer into a type of gallery, from which one arrives at the tier of the larger hall.

2 Form Distortion : as can be seen from the diagrams, how the shape of building have been change from step by step. For one thing, it affects by the surrounding context such as the bay in front of building, the park beside the main entrance in the west . For another thing, Aalto's design concept has a strongly connect with the nature, thus, he has arranged the main entrance behind the park, he want people get in the building through nature in here is trees. Furthermore, large windows and concave recesses are on the western facade, serving to protect the old trees of the site and to enliven the facade. 

3 Space : in these parti diagram : i simplify the complex ground plan in a geometric shape in order to the relationship between the solid and void space in terms of public and private space. thus, i filled the space with gradient colour  from light grey to dark grey in order to indicated the space has been transform from public to semi-public till private space. as a result, the main hall and small hall can be consider as public space compared with the congress hall which seldom open to the public. 

4 Structure & Circulation: i have isolated the structure columns from the ground plan in each level, then overlap all of them in order to see the arrangement of columns and how these affect the space around them.


Moreover, i prefer to show the circulation in 3D view which can be seen straightforward. Thus, i basically indicated three main route in this building which are main hall , small hall and congress hall. i used arrow to highlight the direction from the entrance till destination in order to figure out the routes between different levels and how it affect the space. Furthermore, it can also see the circulation through the main hall cross-section diagram, which shows two different way to enter the hall in terms of balcony on upper level and stage  at lower level. 

5 Facade : it can be regard as one of most interesting feature of this theatre, for one thing, the building's exterior are the great horizontal mass of the building proper and the towering auditorium that rises above it, thus, i isolated the long strip windows on the east and west facade, it shows the windows have been arrange in order which suggested the light must distributed even in interior space. For another thing, i also show the large scale towering auditorium facade compare with the strip windows to see how the shape have been created.
