The key term for this week is binding. Stenglin (2004) explains that “a theory of the dialectical relationship between affect and space, and constitutes one dimension of the grammar of three-dimensional [built] space”( p 115). McMurtrie (2012, following Stenglin 2004) states that “Binding is not simply concerned with the dimension of space, but also the systems of permeability (fixed structures such as walls and columns) and ambience (changeable elements such as light, texture, reflectivity and colour”. This week, our house changed a lot, we incorporated more ideas of binding into it. We designed our house for all glass which means all windows are transparent. This time, we add some curtains to cover with glasses(Fig.1), therefore, the user will have more private space and make them more comfortable. We also changed the layout of family room and game room. At first, these two rooms were separated and both of them were independent, but later we think when clients come here for vacation with family, they will want to take better care of their kinds, therefore, we made family room and game room for just one space. (Fig.2 )It means this space is bound. For the first floor, we designed unbound living room and the open kitchen (Fig.3), we think clients can have more space to do activities in this house.
