Refined Narrative
The housewife has nothing to do but sewing the same sheet in the same room when there is no one home.
- Location: On the roof top of a New York high rise building.
- The Design purpose is to create a series of rooms that allow different activities to be performed for the housewife during this lonely period of time, so that the housewife would be fully occupied to enjoy her life at home.
- The concept of having external circulation allows entering a space through experiencing the outside environment. The purpose is to create an exchange in mood for the housewife so that she can experience the grandness of New York City view and the terror of compressed city lifestyle through different stages of the journey.
- The design of the form is directly related to the time which will be spent in each space. Her daily routine begins in the reading room where she will enjoy her book in the morning light through a open window, as time proceeds she would be forced to leave the space to go to the next destination via the external circulation where she will firstly ducking her head to pass a compressed path with no views of the city but concrete walls, she would then suddenly experience a exchange in lighting so that she can feel the grandness of the city by travelling the open and expanding pathway. She would spent little time in, therefore I have place little light in the room where light can only be received at a knee level height. She would then travel to the open kitchen through climbing the ladder which is designed to give her some physical exercise. She would then return to the reading room to capture the last bit of light in the afternoon to enjoy her book and waiting patiently for her husband to come back.
