My proposition at the end of this assignment shows in the model on the left that I think of the Siza House as a box with a complicated 'maze-like' structure. However, there is organisation in this house, even though it seems chaotic at first there is a certain pattern to the chaos. Everything about this house is deliberate.
I also make a point about the large wall around the house, being oversized and extremely anti-social.
In the middle of the first model I have shown a 'courtyard' area with a person holding a book, representing Antonio Siza, the architect's brother, and his love of reading in a private space like a courtyard.
The model on the right is my new design of the house, in a purely representational manner. I showed that building a wall around your house for privacy is a good idea, but there is a fine line between private and anti-social. Then I added a way of making the house look slightly more welcoming by putting in a more obvious entrance-way, but still gave the house-owner a private space for reading that could not be seen from the outside of the house, and tried to keep the same chaotic but organised type of layout for the new design.
These models are purely conceptual and abstracted from the building's actual design so that they do not resemble it at all, they are purely for representing the main concepts I discussed in my assignment.
