“Architecture and ways of living,” Nobuko, p. 141-146
“The domestic space is the universal container of emotions and it’s where any activity becomes something intimate”
We should not have a universal defined and dense form of drawing and thinking spaces, it would be wrong and not so free thinking, which would ultimately end up conditioning the space and the experience of those who dwell in it. Each individual claims their individualism and their needs for their activities, one appropriates a set of requirements ending up having certain demands for spaces, for example, to draw you must have a room with good natural light, to sleep you need silence, to cook you need an easy way to speed up preparations with the least possible moves - functionality ...
Experience shows us that each individual colonizes its space depending on the rules that most converge to them, for example, the animal that is tamed at home, though domesticated, inhabits the spaces as he pleases by free will, runs through the whole house, he’s free, expressing their needs in conflict with what the owner tries to teach him, it is the same in architect - client relationship, the architect designs the spaces for the individual, whoever the last one has a higher percentage of influence on the space, adapting it according to his needs.
Therefore it is a more realistic project the one that can meet the varying nature of the inhabitants.
The variable forms of nature and ways of living of dwelling are formed in different ways in accordance with the scale of intervention. Thus, on a small scale it is possible to establish a greater relationship with the inhabitant and a greater proximity to the defined project, however, with the increasing of scale, the unre-solved problems and circumstances to create increase. We come, then, to the agreement of a median scale that helps creating average standards to maintain the flexibility of implementation of spaces. In the largest scales it turns out to be essential to study a series of logical containing the processes of decisions made by the inhabitant.
Verification through examples:
The House of Flowers
To design this house of flowers in 142 housing units it’s necessary to study and understand these families emotionally, physically, economically and domestically. In the XXI century, a big percentage of the population does not live in a traditional nuclear family, showing thus the urgency of an exploration on the association between people through the share of spaces while maintaining them private so as to optimize and improve their resources and quality of life in hinged housing society.
It is developed then degrees of shares from independent villa and collective villa. The independent villas line up all stacked in a single surface plan. Individuality is transmitted through the holes in the facade.
Nave villas
This project was born in a family (parents and grown children with their families) with the need for greater marriage through a space to live together with their families. The junction was on economic issues and affection. They investigated several solutions in the market but nothing could suit their needs and desires. It was then decided that an industrial nave was the ideal support to contain everything they wanted, ambitions, projects, families, everything, a ship villas.
The program developed in these properties is determined by its inhabitants and at different scales. The ship is divided into three parts. The parents contain a larger area while the children is distributed evenly. The ship turns out to be just an object, only when we go through the doors, walking on the inside we realize its spatial organization. The most intimate spaces face the access street, while the common living spaces retain the best views.
