15 Properties of Design by Alexander
The properties that apply to my 2 bedroom high rise design
12. Echoes- An example of this property is in that all the rooms and spaces are angled in order to center on the 80” flat screen TV that the client brings with him to the space.The properties that apply to my 2 bedroom high rise design
1. Levels of Scale- This property is addressed in the varying levels that are present in the kitchen/dining area, the office cube, and the TV lounge. Levels varying in height with lighting built in and assigned in different colors make up the kitchen, the office cube contains its own more intimate scale for a quiet work environment, and the varying scales of the shelving make up different levels to create visual interest.
2. Strong Centers- This idea is present in the central idea of everything revolving around the positioning of the clients 80” flat screen TV. Having all these things radiating from one area creates a strong center which inhabitants are drawn to.
3. Boundaries- Physical boundaries are present among the private spaces within the interior while visual boundaries marked by color and material dominant the public space depending upon function.
8. Deep Interlock and Ambiguity- Appears in the custom shelving design centered around the strong center, the large TV the client brought with him. These shelf forms interlock with the shape of the TV and frame it in a way that is functional to the technology used with the TV and please due to it’s form and coloring.
15. Non-Separateness- Is present in the open floor plan of the public spaces in the interior. Centers like the TV area merge with the kitchen and dining area in a way that makes them all flow together.
