Cube Project

Cube Project aims to create positive space and negative space which strengthen basic concept of architecture. 6’x6’ Size Cube

Design Statement:

I would love to create a hierarchy space that interacts with its grid form by strong axis as the intersection, and create the circulation around the focal point.

A Summery of the kinetic energies which move the point into a line, the mine into a plane, and the plane into a spatial dimension. Paul Klee

Cube Project

Design Concept DiagramHierarchy space is visible in the design conceptual diagram. The strong axis is also expressed in the design conceptual diagram, which separates four sections and the spaces linked a common space

Elevation View I

The focal point is available

in elevation view I as well

as the contrast between solid

and soft as the different

material can express

different color with natural

light.

Elevation View II

Transition space can be seen from the bottom to the top as well as the positive space to negative space in the elevation view II.

Cube Project

From the conceptual model,

it is easy to see the hierarchy

space as it can be seen

through the whole model by

natural light, and the datum

also can be seen by the wood

as it uses different material.

Conceptual Model

Natural Light

Natural light, a environmental

element, is an important

element in the cube project

because it shows the hierarchy

space when the light comes

from outside and follow the

horizontal elements going

through the hierarchy space.

“I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light. What is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.”
