UNFOLDING OF THE GEOMETRY COMMENTARY ON THE GEOMETRIC ACTION OF THE PROCESS

Geometrically, here are some of the most significant events in the unfolding. Early in the process, the indoors and outdoors are made to interlock geometrically, not merely to touch, thus making a better and more positive connection between the two The door and windows, solid material and openings together, are made form a solid band of alternating "stuff' along the boundary The table appears very early as the core of the kitchen, and remains the major center as the differentiated form unfolds The fireplace, or other secondary center, establishes an axis and a coherent relation of the table to the space Seats and alcoves around the edge, form a thick boundary of space, and bring in the levels of scale which give the room its character and usefulness At the end, the relation of inside to outside is confirmed and strengthened geometrically, as exterior elements in the garden are differentiated to extend the indoors When you pay attention to these geometric features one by one there is a greater chance that the resulting room will be coherent, and have life when it is used.
