Final Wall Post

So for my final project, I sort of stuck with a symmetrical proportion. Horizontally this was 3-2-3-4-3-2-3 and the vertical grid was 3-6-3-1.5-3-9-4.5. The idea with the vertical proportion was to add variation to it, so the left 9-4.5 is 1.5 of the right end of the grid. The Zen view in this wall occurs as one is entering the community centers. the panels sticking out of the walls block the view of the tree branches in the area near the entrance of the wall. As one walks in, there is a gap between the two innermost panels in the entrance that allow a view of the trees through a clear window section.
The habitable space is located on the right side of the wall. The area was not to be abundant in light, so there were two horizontal window panels consisting of both transparent and translucent windows, the small translucent window in the bottom panel can be moved to change light setting at close proximity. Another cool feature is that light also comes from the sides which is less expected.

Subtractive was probably the most used method and is predominantly used. Adding could be seen by the triangular mass sections that stick into the courtyard between the tower and the entrance. I also tried to use mass vs skeletal with a skeletal tower contrasted with a massive wall next to it, and an interplay of massive and skeletal in the door way and right part with walls with a series of layers horizontal wooden panels. The extra manipulation that i attempted was layering. This however was done up to down instead of in depth. The wall on the right is made with layered members instead of a straight panel. The right side of the wall has a layer consisting of an interchange between mass and wood from top to bottom. These panels also work as bookshelves in the inside of the building, and the top panels become a sort of canopy for the habitable area.
