Week #13: New mapping
Week #12: Studies of exterior visualisation
Week #10: Project text
As the world’s most ambitious gothic edifice, Beauvais Cathedral amazed
us of its height, the light into the stained glass window, and the dimension of
the spaces.
The investigation explore how people today see and feel of cathedral. As a masterpiece of thousands years, Beauvais Cathedral itself is a museum and exhibition to show the beauty of architecture, the ambitious of human, and the worship of god. The cathedral used to be a place for praying, exchanging, meeting,
market, protection, used in totality by
people as a very important public space.
Today, the place you can enter is restricted, it become a
tourist attraction. This is a regression in terms of using. The project is inspired by
the history of using of cathedral, developed as an urban
intervention. Changing people’s view of observing, extend the traditional
function to outside, “Re-opening” exterior public space, function like magnet,
attracting new people and activities.
Pre-jury presentation
Week #9: Serching the architectural project in the previous drawings. Using the map to definde areas of intervention, the axis of the map to organice the space and the model tests to analise and create.
Week #8: Mapping model testing to experiment with different spatial organization possibilities.
Week #7: WoMa - Model making
Week #6: Improvement of the map. Differenced zones. Some areas are darker than others.
Week #5: RE- Trip to Barcelona
Detail on how the conic surface projects through the columns and the space.
Week #4: Working on the different posibilities of representation for the mapping.
Conic surfaces filled with points.
Conic surfaces filled with points.
Model construction tests: Trying materials
Week #03: Invisible condition, map of every person taking a picture of Beauvais Cathedral, to see where and how the different persons capture the space (Floor plan).
First representation: Arcs.
Grasshopper experience using the gothic windows as a base, changing the radius of the different circules, and moving them in different directions.
Week #2: Parametric experience with Grasshopper to find out hidden relations between the shapes componing the cathedral.
First analisis of the gothic windows
Axonometric analisis of the position inside the cathedral
