Project 02_Phase 05 (part 05)

Solid vs. Void Space

"all these solid elements constitute an envelope around what we experience when we move through a building, that is, the void, or architectural space. In a very real way, the true work of the architect is to shape the void, which becomes the theater of the actions that take place in the building."


- “Symmetry in Architecture”, by Kim Williams, Architect

You have leaned solid vs. void in your first-year architecture study. What was the definition of "solid" and "void" that you learned back then? Did your understanding evolve through our precedence project this semester? What do you think are the solids and voids in your design building in the current project? Here is a great article on this topic. Please read it, and then finish the diagram of "solid vs. void" analysis of your building. On Monday class, we will discuss this article and your diagram. The following is an example on solid vs. void diagrams.
