CASA DA MUSICA / REM KOOLHAAS

“10 years from now it might be sitting here quite perfectly, but right now its a bit of a contrast - but contrast is good”

“At first, I didn’t like it, but after you experience it, you like it very much”

“It’s very nice to have a building like this in our city”

“I think a building like this doesnt fit anywhere and fits everywhere because it’s so different ”

INNOVATION OFCOMPUTATION

“Parametric design calls for the rejection of fixed solutions and for an exploration of infinitely variable possibilities”

Kolarevic (2003)

“Digital modelling software has opened new territories of formal exploration in architecture, in which digitally-generated forms are not designed in conventional ways”

RE-CONNECTION

Humans have to hide in clothes, in architecture, settlements, fortresses and cities – in a sense, obvious and trans-historical – one might say that all civilizations have been ‘capsular’“A capsule is a holder, a container ... a tool or an extention of the body which, having become an artificial environment, shuts out the outer, hostile environment.”The car: earthbound model of mobile residence: immediately, the car was seen as the extension of the house, an artificial interior – in short, a capsule.

EMPLOYMENT LOCATION (WYNDHAM)

Employment in Wyndham tells us who is interacting with Wyndham on a daily basis for work. 57.5% of people who work in Wyndham but travel out to get home. This informs us of another

MODE OF TRANSPORT TO WORK

73.9% use cars as a mode of transport to get to work. This means that a large percentage of the population will interact with the site to get to work.

OCCUPATION OF WORKERS

Occupation has a large deal to do with who interacts with the site. For example: 36.7% are tradesmen. The tradesmen work on the road and work during daylight hours. This influences the method of interaction to target this

WHERE DO RESIDENTS WORK?

Travelling in and out of Wyndham is an important factor for the site. 57% of residents travel out of Wyndham for work, so they influence how the site will interact with them during this travel
