Lecture 1- Plan

Review
I have learnt the historically oldest form of a plan from 6000 BC till 2001. I see the transformation of a plan from a baby lonian plan, till 13th century when they give a proper measurement for a plan and eventually move on to a more design and innovative ideas for a plan like The architectural Alphabet by Johann David Steugruber, 1773.

Notes on Plan
Plan: from Latin planus: flat, level, also: clear intelligible

1. Wall painting from Catal Huyuk painting c. 6000BC
It is a landscape, a pattern in the habitation

  • Baby lonian plans, calculation the amount of bricks needs, doorways, the free space
  • The garden of the high official of amenhotep
  • Writing board with an architectural drawing
  • No drawing in Early Greek

2. Plan of St. Gall: the only surviving drawing from 700 years period between Roman Empire and the 13th century

  • It is the role and function of the drawing to give buildings and part of the building a suitable layout; an exact proportion, a proper or granulation, a harmonious plan, such that an entire form of construction if born fully within the drawing itself.

3. The architectural Alphabet by Johann David Steugruber, 1773

  • He uses letters to make a space (For example, A.B.C)
  • Interesting plan

4. Michelangelo’s plan draws the real church+ Buddhist mandala

  • Plan does lies!

5. Nicholas Ledouz, Oikema 1804

6. Edward Robbius

  • He interviews many architecture
  • “Plan presents view of a horizontal slice of the design above and can represent the pattern and dimensional relationship of a floor or ground plan.”

7. Frank Lloyd Wright, Usoman house

8. Le Corbusier “When I do a plan, I am doing a graphic in two dimension but I am actually seeing the space.”



9. Mies van de Rohe, plan for a brick house 1923

10. Daniel Libesknd Jewish Museum 2001


11. Zaha Hadid, Callgari Museum
