Preliminary investigation for the Artist retreat began with a precedent study of The Palladian Villa. Villa Cornaro was built in 1553, by Andrea Palladio and is located about 30 km from Venice. What I found most interesting was Palladio’s use of exterior columns on the interior, to define a space so the proportional consistency remained flawless. Within the main Sala, are four columns placed in line with exterior columns in the front and rear. The spacing of these columns define the proportion of the space, meaning, the interior face of the

columns determines the height and width, of the physical inhabitable space. The overall space of the Sala is configured by an additional column width on each side, which in plan measure perfectly “2x” the standard proportion of the building logic (16’ x 27’). This skews the logic because the felt condition is not the same as the drawn logic of the geometry. How they coexist creates a much more interest-ing relationship, especially between boundary and structure.

In this diagram you see the columns in line with the exterior and the center sala, with the supporting beams cantilevering to meet the enclosure/bearing walls.

The organization of structural components dictate the programmable space in plan, and define these “pockets” as being a justifiable programmable space. What became most interesting, was finding a logic that exists through manipulating a simple column grid by following very simple, but effective, set of rules to achieve the most compatible and integrated space.

These analyses became a driving force in determing what quantified the space. These specific

moves became the foundation for understanding how this grid can be manipulated. There were two main concepts that controlled each version. (1) Were the components or “nodes” connecting to one another as though they exist in a mangetic field of positive and negative attractions pushing and pulling one another. (2) Were the components dissolving becoming more invisible and diminishing in numbers.

When the max field condition for the nodes or cluster of nodes was reached, boundary/enclosure became a primary concern for determining the relative size of each space. The system allowed each node to exist within a larger network of nodes, predetermined by a radius signifiying a maximum spatial condition given to each node or cluster of nodes.

The dividing system determines the boundary for the artist to manipulate as he/her chooses. These heavy duty canvas dividers range in opacity and translucency. Ease of installation with a sophisticated structural logicfacilitates enless variations in program and organization.

Artists could comfortably live in any manner they choose. With a completely integrated and open floor plan the ease of creating privacy and coordinating thoseprivate spaces with the most public spaces will be extremely useful. The artists have the ability to live, work, and show that work in any manner they choose; where there are no programmable boundaries that cannot be manipulated within the building envelope.

The nodes should appear and disappear during the journey through the spaces. The sleekness of there design along with light coming through clerestory operable louvers will provide open and less obstructive views

Interior garden conditions are accessi-ble through frosted sliding polycarbon-ate glazing which provide secondary views and circulation paths.
