IntraCenter- Projective Architecture Case Study
'People attending a GED night class might pause in the fitness center.
Parents dropping kids off for an event in the auditorium can stop in at
the health clinic. Anyone doing “X” inherently encounters “Y” and “Z”. ' -WW Architecture
'Six spatial “parentheses” — walls — serve as brackets around subsets of the building’s program. Much like the effect of parentheses in writing, these walls highlight subsets of functional significance.'
-WW Architecture
Unlike the majority of modern architectures' program organization such as Victor Gruen' shopping mall mode or the popular commercial complex buildings, IntraCenter challenges the classic fishbone-like circulation system. The architects tried to approach 'formally and programmatic reverberates across the building's spaces'. They mix different programs by intersecting their private circulation spaces, thus people in the building will not be separated by their actions. This provide more chances for people to meet and interact with each other. Architecture has a low definition and becomes a cool media, but actions inside get fiery. Just follow the first law of thermodynamics, in a high definition hot media building, people have freezing relationship. Such as in a five-star hotel, the servant circulation and customer circulation are totally isolated. The resident may has never seen the butler who serves his favourate chocolate on his bed everyday, between his check in and checkout. Compared to security and privacy, IntraCenter concentrates more on social level.
If Le Corbusier's radiant city was a class distinct and authoritarian society, then IntraCenter means liberty.
