Written Statement Assignment 4 Modeling

In this project I am going to continue to explore Ali Rahim’s work, specifically his Samsung Raemian Housing Masterplan. I am going to be focusing on his use of space in a constricted urban environment, his design choices and combine it with 3 of my theories used in assignment 3.

First off, his design demonstrates the endless possibilities of architecture within a confined space. In this particular project, the building is a traditional shape of a tall rectangle. With emphasis on creating micro communities through recreation while connecting all communities. Having ample lighting and maximizing the view from the inside. While having variation in the view and interior space usage within the plan configuration.

The 3 chosen theory that I am going to use are, “Natural/Simple shapes are often more structurally integrative than traditional linear geometries.” , “Simplicity at first seems really simple but behind it there is a rigor of thought.” , and, “Pushing the boundaries of what is classified as architecture often rewrites what it is.”

My model is going to be a visual representation of Ali Rahim’s concept in his project, such as the usage of space within strict building regulations. Combined with my theories to create an abstract model of visualization.
