Aline's Dance School
The concept behind the dance school is to bring back the pedestrian as well as the community life to the street. It should bring back the elaborate expressive movement of the past era by being the site of multiple meetings. Placing a dance school will bring movement to the street, acheived through some transparencies in the facade. Neighboorhood life is a crucial quality that needs to be amplified with the help of the dance school. The program as well as the form of the building will effect the communication between the new space and the old one. Spaces for meeting and lingering are created to unify the dance school and its context. There is a constant visual continuity which sets the stage for an ongoing preformance of the dancers delivered to the watchers or passers.
My design was inspired by the bodies and the movement of the dancers. I wanted to borrow their lightness and elegance and integrate into the form of the building. This is because above all this building had to represent its own character not just settle into the context. In my first design I tried to portray the movements of the dancers by creating light forms that shows a play in volume and give the feeling of movement.
There are many aspects of dancing that I thought of, one of them was partnership, when dancers get together as a couple they become two bodies working together. The first step I did was to experiment with the idea of the two bodies by actually seperating the dance school into two buildings that were connected by extruding and intruding forms. At this point it was too literal as a design.
So for my new design I combined both the idea of the lightness of movements and the shape of the dancers with the ides of the two bodies moving in harmony. Insteadof having complete seperate bodies, I differentiated between spaces by playing on qualities as well as form. On the ground floor there are two rectangles sliding in opposite direction. On the first floor there is a difference in transparencies, and on the last floor there are two distinct volumes.
