Self Portrait of an Architecture:
Layers of mine(d)
Layers of mine(d)
Since I usually pick and choose my feeling or thoughts to express, I feel like most of the time I am setting a boundary between me and the others. Therefore I interpreted myself into layers of walls that made out of different material to portray, perhaps, the processes which happen in my mind.
The outermost wall is made of the most solid materials out of the 3 layers, particularly, with a fixed form. This is to represent how I choose to appear or express myself to the others. Additionally, it is a result of what is going on inside.
While the second layer is composed of fragmented partition walls. This layer represents the way thoughts and feeling are organised. It shows that a lot more things are going on inside in contrast to what is shown on the outermost wall. There are 2 types of the partition walls: ones that movable and ones that are fixed, where there are based on a grid system, representing how things are, still, handle in an organised way.
The metal rotatable partitions are representing things that I choose to express, these partitions can be move(rotate) to create various patterns that allow the space to be looked at differently. Where the fixed partitions are made of soft material such as fabric, representing something inside that is uncontrollable, particularly, the area where it is affected by others which I can't choose to receive them or not, in this case, the material is affected by weather.

The innermost layer is a curved wall, specifically, green wall (covers by plants). It refers to the initial feeling or emotion before it will be manipulated. This is the core where it is the most ever-changing place where the plants are affected by the weather or other factors, making it grows, dries, dies, blooms, etc. While the cause of everything is the circular hole above it, which the physical function is the observatory space.
Roof and passages are added to create special effects, the routes of emotion. For example, the route of a normal day can be created by enter through the south entrance where the is the shortest transition bwtween inside and outside plus the holes on the roof is letting a lot of light to the inside before entering the circular core space, therefore the atmosphere seems to be similar and constant.
The route the represent a stressful feeling is by entering through the long dark corridor on the east side which will create sharp cut between inside and outside space, additionally, by circulating pass the lowering roof will make people feel cramped and more pressure, while the holes on the lowered roof can be referred to an escape. The focus situation can be created by entering the west entrance where the small hole above the highering roof will draw people attention and concentration, for instance.
These ways of entering can also refer to the way different people getting to know a person, since every single one of them may approach that person with different way and perspective, resulting a different journey and atmosphere towards a true core.

The overall dynamics the flow in the space is similar to what happens on a nautilus shell where there is an exchange between the inside and outside situation. While people outside get to know the things inside by breaking in, the living thing inside is growing up by breaking out.
