Wire Model for Analysis Path

 Wire Model:

1. Doubled Wire: Main access path way to approach villa and the most secured place where is most right upper place from main entrance where is the lowest point – primary movement.
2. Single Wire: is broken paths by the garden – secondary movement.
3. Glued and rolled wired like circular Points: where event located as accessed person must choose one out of various ways and where view-events are occurred by garden’s planting or down/up views.
4. Spirally rolled wired: where must people need to pass due to different levels of ground and spaces: stairs.

Locus and Topos....

LOCUS
-Planned as a series of architectural workshops, with: include problems of accessibility as an essential parameter. Facing problems in particular solution (?)

 -Set of points that satisfy certain conditions
-Expected results: solving problems in architectural and urban accessibility consideration from perspective.

 Renaissance Villa
-Circumstance:

•  Agricultural surrounding
• Slopped
• Stone hill

 -Limitations to work:

• -Hard to curve out (evocation).
• -This architecture is not for agricultural purpose, only residence): 

 What would bring from circumstances?
-How make it work:

• -Three Different Level evocation
• - (I would be used to) Planting/ Gardening - Green sources from outside

-Result:

• - Possible savings on costs/time to even level out
• - Great down views for public, but also extremely for owner
• - Security become highly arable: narrowed and restricted (?) movement (path)

TOPOS
-Context of method of constructing or treating.
-Reworking of traditional material, particularly the descriptions of standardized setting.

Space:
-Major spaces are located at each end of Garden (event) spaces for two separated levels.
-Lower level of spaces is secondary like storage because it’s more opened for public to access. Additionally, the lower level of garden is complex maze shape layout, but small planting, flowers, decorated: it possibly used for agricultural family planting. Also, upward view is locked out by the tall walls and different level of ground.
-Upper level of spaces is primary and only for restricted people. Spaces are for Villa, residence, and special space for private. These spaces get more dramatically views downward and have more attractive view of ‘actual garden’ (event become more affective).

Event:
- (For me, stair is more to be movement space, but because of below reason, it put this also into event catalogue) There are series of stairs to approach the primary spaces. Stairs additionally used to bring people from wide space experience into narrower and smaller space. Then, their exit connects to next level of greater opening. Also, they use ‘bent approaching’ where people must turn from major event to empty space, then gives more beautiful event place. Thereby, stairs bring different experimental events.
-Garden layout is most dominant event places; because of it’s lined up layout causes people’s attention moves along with, and then leads them to see more wide views. Also, garden’s layout brake down movement with several small pieces and give some choice variety. Additionally, this layout is clean line and some maze shape which can give interesting.
-Foundation is located at the center of maze secondary garden because secondary movement and spaces doesn’t have attractive down view as primary has. Thereby, architect may use foundation and decorated layout to give same expectation.

Movement:
-Major access are ‘bent approaching’ and has several ‘gates’ and smaller paths to go through. It brings more security to the private spaces, upper level spaces.
-Minor access are divided by garden layout and long horizontal path to move up to different level of ground, garden.

Information about Garden (based on website)

Villa Medici at Fiesole

-oldest Renaissance residence with a garden
-best preserved, but not well-known b/c mostly private.
-located at centre of agricultural concerns while it doesn't connect with farming life.


-designing for intellectual life setting rather than a villa
-demonstration of aesthetic and ideological values


windows and broad loggias looking out over the surroundings.




Garden


geographical position -
chosen b/c it’s secured and easy to defend b/c of rich agricultural surroundings.


Condition: slopping land suggested the layout of the garden on three terraces. Stony hillside


--> possible that it was hard to cut all diffential levels into single level.
--> Three layers of similar garden patterns
(main narrow and must used movement place locates b/w gardens)
--> result in compressing and leasing circumstance which exaggerate "Reward," gorgeous view downward.


1st - avenue lined with trees
2nd - reached by an indoor, looked by rear of building
3rd - flowers lined up with large foundation at centre laid out in the Italian style, with a fine pergola positioned mid-way b/w two levels...
-----------
Lower garden possibility used for planting meanwhile upper garden used like extension of the house.
The most upper part's small garden is a secret garden which has the most wonderful views, to aid one's contempt.

Illustration for SME

This is my basic (simple) analysis about Space, Movement, and Event even though the places can be differently used or understood. Also, it rendered by Illustration CS3 program.

• Pink: movement
• Lighter - there is various way to pass through event (green) places, so it's not primary pathway, but secondary way.
•  Darker - this path must be used to approach the main event or space (villa or observation platform place, upper left corner). They are stairs and primary pathes due to different levels of grounds.
• Purple: space
• Lighter - it's not necessary to approach: either visiting for short time or omitting to go in.
• Darker (Dark Blue...)- it's main space: villa (and observation platform house).
•  Green: event.
• Greens are basically garden patterns
• Events could be the view downward or garden pattern, itself. (upward view is limited by barriors which are colored into gray)
