For this project we were to select a single room
within the monastery of our choice and redesign
it. De la Tourette was the biggest challenge given
it long and narrow design. I started off by dividing
the room long ways in a processional manner that
suited the monks’ life style. The communal area
(hallway), then the space of study which creates a
transitional space between the common area and
private area. I chose the Dominican order, which is
famed for its intellectual traditions, and with this
choice I used the books as both a connection and
visual divider. The monks then passed through the
cleansing before they would reside within their
space of pray and relaxation. Beyond the area
of rest they would reconnect to nature within an
area of solitary. The interior walls are turned at an
angle to create a visual separation of communal to
solitary.
