The key conceptual term involved with my design process in week one is that of interspace.I used this concept into my design this week. The definition of Interspace is the physical space created as a relation between objects . Arnheim (1977) sates interspaces are not empty, they have density. We can observe density from distance between the objects, but there are many factors will affect people’s perception, such as the size of the buildings. This week, our group built a model for the first floor according to the blueprint (Fig.4).I also drew circles to represent the interspace (Fig.5).For the first floor, we designed the glasses instead of walls, it is more suitable for people take the holiday here, people can enjoy the sunshine by the French windows, we used the glassines as the windows. Cutting the foam board for the outer walls and as well as frames. Then we can see the model for the first floor. It likes two different sizes of rectangular constitute together, it seems like there are two spaces, but as the matter of fact, it is just one space can doing activities. Because there are no distances for these two spaces. It means there are no interspaces between these two spaces. Finally, after measuring, we made the roof for the first floor using white foam board. We also designed a roof visor. Therefore, it can shade for the house and make people more comfortable when it has strong sunshine.
