Hodological Space
Fig3. |
In week three, the key term involved with our design process is Hodological Space. Hodological space is a special form of topological geometry in which paths and vectors are defined psychologicall.If we imagine an urban environment as a “whole”. Hodological space, “ambient” space and “personal” space are three components. Mitropoulos 1975 states, “connect your starting point with your goal and destination”. This week, our group members think of the Hodological Space, ambient space as well as personal space. We drew lines marked the space where we can move also added points where we would create a story board, it is easy to let cunstomers see each point through the Hodological space. (Fig1,Fig.2) .We trying to make the customers through our house and to experience its space. Therefore, customers can walk around inside of house and easily to found their rooms and when they walk out of the room, it can avoid obstacles.Meanwhile, we also considered the ambient space. We think as a vacation house, we design swimming pool, as well as terrace. It also provides grill for barbecue, as well as a small bar on the top of the house with the open air. At the same time, the house is surrounding by some plants. Moreover, we also designed many rooms to make sure customers have personal space. House for vacation has enough private space and good environment is becoming increasingly important nowadays.
