PROJECT 2: The Astonomer by Vermeer - Concept


Concept Idea










GLASS panels at the tip of the building to allow the man to do his research into space and make observations, when he is on the top floor of the building.

The CONCRETE as wall to give him the sense of solitude in his research.

The windows are point toward the tip of the structure, to communicate that the knowledge is out there.

WOOD is used for the internal structure of the building, giving the man a sense of warmth within his surrounding environment.

PROJECT 2: The Astonomer by Vermeer - Inspiration

Aldo Rossi - Sandro Pertini





Louis Kahn - Davis Library










PROJECT 2: The Astonomer by Vermeer - Analysising

The Astronomer Analysis-ed

The out stretched hand to grasp the globe: wanting to understand

The Globe: serving as a reference point for the man to understand astronomy in the view of the world

Shadows in the room: giving the sense of unknown in discovery

The book shelve been hidden by shadows: indicates that the knowledge the man seeks is still in the unknown phase.

Windows: the window directly within his eye site is relatively smaller in width as oppose to the one above: giving us the notion that his knowledge can be expanded through his discovery to open his eyes to more knowledge.

The dividing mullion between the two windows: again been the unknown or uncertainty when discovering new knowledge and not knowing what discovery's will be made.

The books on top of the shelve: notion of struggle to gain more knowledge.
