On RefLecTIOn*:
Reflection is the capacity of humans to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about their fundamental nature, purpose and essence. The earliest historical records demonstrate the great interest which humanity has had in itself. Reflection invariably leads to inquiry
into the human condition and the essence of humankind as a whole.Human self-reflection is related to the philosophy of consciousness, the topic of awareness, consciousness in general and the philosophy of mind.
*from Wikipedia; on Human self-reflection.
On cOnTeMpLaTIOn*:
The word contemplation comes from the Latin word contemplatio. Its root is also that of the Latin word templum, a piece of ground consecrated for the taking of auspices, or a building for worship, derived either from proto-Indo-european base *tem- “to cut”, and so a “place reserved or cut out” or from the proto-Indo-european base *temp- “to stretch”,
and thus referring to a cleared space in front of an altar.[1] The Latin word contemplatio was used to translate the Greek word θεωρία (theoria). In a religious sense, contemplation is usually a type of prayer or medi-
tation.

La Tourette, was originally intended as a convent with a school for 100 friars, and a church for the
local community.
Shortly after completion, the school was closed and the convent was without students.
Designed by Le courbusier, the building is today a pilgrimsite for architectural students and people
interested in Le courbusier.

We give to La Tourette, a program for the temporary guests. This will relief the permanent residents, and give the guests a
sosial aspect of their stay at the convent.
By adding a dining room, separated but connected with the convent, the guest will get a space for more relaxed social incounters.This will reinforce the atmosphere at the convent, and both the
new program and the convent will strengthen each other.
Today the friars and the guest are, at times, living in expence of each other.
To give both the guests and the friars the maximum experience of their stay at the convent, we propose the dining room.

a DIaGOnaL
By introducing the diagonal, we break the orthogonal grid of
Le courbusier. The diagonal stretches from the main entrance out to the
farmland. It is a clear connection and a
clear distinction.
a SeqUence Of Space
By moving through the building in a sequence of space, the mindset of the
guest is maintained.It strenghtens the programmatic and
athmospheric connection to the convent.
an OppOSITe Space
To give the building its own identity its placed firmly in the
grown as an opposite to the howering convent.

By placing a building undergroung, you get more aware of the natural light.
at La Tourette the use of light is mainly horisontal.
We wish to introduce a vertical use of light, creating a lightwell underground, with a variated intake of the daylight as a sequence of light.

How can you relate to an architectural masterpiece?can you add to a heritage listed site?
To deal with a site as complex as La Tourette; its history, its program and its maker, you need a clear attitude towards the site:
To be dominant or submissive, to be bold or subtle, to contrast or support the existing.
The new addition becomes an equal part of the public entrance of La Tourette, yet submissively growing into the landscape.
The new addition is bold in its diagonal placement towards La Tourette,
yet the subtle spatial sequence follows the orthogonal grid at the convent.
The program of the new addition, a public dining area for the many visitors at La Tourette, is a clear contrast to the intentional program;
a convent and a school for friars. Yet it supports the convents needs today, where most of the users are not friars, but visitors from all over the world.
By making both bold and humble decisions the result is a building with its own identity, yet in a clear relation to La Tourette.

*Model:_the dining room; every room has their main material, in addition to concrete.
The materials are wood for the kitchen and diningroom, local golden stone for the bath and the exit, and soil for the toilets.
49
The materials used are as much as possible; local and site specific.
This means that local stone and wood are the focus of materials next to concrete, which
will be the main material.
In the convent one mainly finds concrete, steel, glas and wood, and this palette will continue
into the new addition.
In the new building, the materials will be used to set the atmosphere and make a clear link to
the surroundings.
Working with the contrasting materials; wood, stone and concrete, will be done in such a way
that the materials qualities is put to its best; contrasting the softness of the wood to the
heavy stone and the hard concrete. and to benefit from the different acoustic and
reflective properties.
These qualities are important, giving each sequence of space its very own character.

SUSTaInaBILITY
_DIVeRSIfYeD SOLUTIOnS
The new addition will be an autonomous building, independent from the convent. Independent in terms of electricity, heating
and gas for cooking.
The building is placed in the ground, resulting in a stable temperature throughout the year, from the thermal mass.
It is cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.The atrium provides the building with daylight and fresh air,
and the building can be cross ventilated when needed.
The toilets provide biogas for the kitchen.
Evecuated tubes on the diningroom-facade diffuses the sunlight and collects heat from the sun. The energy collected will heat the building,
through a water bearing system, as well as providing warm water for the bath.
The solar panel gives electricity to the heating system and to the overall lighting in the building.
