Any singular proposal is a scenario that emerges amongst a population of twinning storylines. These possibilities can be explored as mutations, expressed through different intensities of the fundamental genes of each solution system’s DNA.

Ultimately these options comprise a set; a set of sister and/or brother possibilities within such given frameworks as angle, distance, joint, program, site, material or institutionality.

Fraternal twins are the same but also different. It’s this concept of dissonance applied to studio multiples. Fraternal Twins, So near and yet so far by Steff Yotka,  2011.

Define an institute’s alternative identity  (Alt-Institute) within the vocabulary, rules and limits defined in previous phase work. Craft an argument around institutionality and pedagogy facilitated through architectural language.

According to my last phase of how the building is built in a courtyard of surrounding buildings and how my toy is based on connecting those building together with steps. My new project will be locating on a site with similarity to the case study. I chose Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Renovating the existing library.

The first picture is the diagram showing how it is related to the case study and my toy. And how the program would be built and how it would be a better study place than the already existing one.

As you can see in my site plan the existing library is locating in the middle of the courtyard and is connecting to the two building beside.

For this third diagram I showed how it is surrounding by these building and how they are connected so first is to understand the space.

On the fourth diagram I compare the flexible activities that are happened in the program so similar to the Why Factory research center the interior allows mostly formal activity and the outside area is more flexible where you can eat, drink or even lying down there.    

Next before showing the comparison of the circulation I did a diagram showing the operating hour the two library (the top one) first because the circulation diagram (the bottom one) is basing on the operating hour.

As you can see the existing building doesn’t really allow students to be working over hour but the renovated one will. The library itself is still open at a proper time so that it can be manage easier. Even though the library is closed there’s still a way you can pass through to get to the working space.

Next is the atmospheric representation of the space. First big one is the daily life representation which represent the everyday life habit of students. The picture below represented the special events that happened. In this picture I choose TomTomNight that used to celebrate the new coming of the freshman students. So as you can see the stairs can also be used as a bleacher. The small perspectives beside show the interior view of each floor and how the space be used. The last diagram on the left is the section that cut through each part of the building to show more of the interior space.

So after looking in the detail part of The Why Factory. I used the concept of how the steps are different in size but stilla pattern. Like the higher it is the smaller the steps will be.And how the building built in the inner courtyard.

"STOCK" from stair, block,and stackand the idea of how the stock graph is different in height. My game is very similar to that. I used my black block to be the surrounding wall/boundary and the orange block to connectthe walls you made. The result you will discovered a new space created in different height of blocks and different kind of ways you used to connect those walls.

 the top four are the manual of the game.   

Analyzing from both an institutional and architectural perspective of the institutes is the objective of this phase.

The Why Factory (T?F) is a global think-tank and research institute, run by MVRDV and Delft University of Technology and led by professor Winy Maas. It explores possibilities for the development of our cities by focusing on the production of models and visualizations for cities of the future.

On this first panel, i was focusing on the setting of the building and how it was built. The Why Factory was built inside of the courtyard of the faculty of Architecture at Delft University. So my main concept is layering. By building an exterior in an interior and within that there's another interior.

My second plate is focusing on the flexible boundaries and activities, like because of how it was built with no wall to connect all parts together the activities in each area are varies. I separated them into formal and informal activities as you can see below.

On the third plate, the details plate, I focus on the circulation and flow that happened in the space. The smaller space is the upper it is and fewer activities happened.

On the next three plate, i am showing similar examples from MVRDV to support my main concept of the first three plate.
