Eye Reflecting the Interior of the Theatre of Besancon Drawing Ledoux, Claude-Nicolas, 1736-1806

“Between the carpenter’s weight strings and marking lines [is something] close to government and enlightenment.” Li Hua, 715-766
Hanyuandian fu (Rhapsody on the Enfolding-Vitality Hall)

Ideas and Approaches in Design presents an introductory survey of the concepts and issues involved in the architectural design process. The course material presents actual projects and theoretical propositions from architectural history as exemplar responses and/or alternatives to the distinct challenges entailed in designing an architectural project. Moreover, the historic examples and ideas are presented as illustrative of the broader ideas associated with particular design movements or trends. By presenting the design process as a broad historical and intellectual endeavor; and as more than a mechanical exercise, Ideas and Approaches in Design seeks to impart the designer with a basic knowledge of and understanding of architectural history and theory; a basic knowledge of and understanding of architectural terminology; and basic understanding of and appreciation of the architectural design process.

    On the other hand, Leplastrier visited Spain in early 1971, obtained the inspiration from Alhambra’s Islamic pools in Granada; demonstrated a ‘borrow landscape’ effect in this house via a reflection pool in the garden. The altitude difference of the room and the land with the reflection of the pool carry out the sense of platform through the site. Borrowing Utzon’s U beam roofing system from his Bayview project, Leplastrier formed roofs by two vaults and two parallel semicircular gutter for two rooms, the spine and the service zone. These elements are all interlinked, but also supported individually by steel framework with high specification paint finishing to resist erosion. All materials are treated deliberately with the as-worked character, blend with Utzon’s doctrine of prefabrication and Japanese modular system; which extends the life of the structure and materials. Leplastrier’s restraint of nail fixing on structure diminishes the damage of timber when disassembling the building, this aspect effects the visibility of construction. Additionally, this significant inspiration of the Shinto Shrine buildings at Ise is conveyed by the layering of materials on roof verge, with the hierarchy of redwood ceiling, tampered steel purlins and corrugated copper…
