The house is a machine - but it needs a poetic emotion.
Juxtaposition.
The 5 Points of a New Architecture:
1. PILOTIS - raised building, permeable ground plane
2. ROOF GARDEN - recovering and elevating land that has been built upon
3. FREE PLAN - freeing distribution and forms from load bearing structures
4. HORIZONTAL WINDOW - light and outlook
5. FREE FACADE - boundary between inside and outside away from load bearing structure
The earth surface is how we connect with each other - but raising the floor, living between the earth and the sky.
ARCHITECTURAL PROMENADE - the arrival. Move up a ramp or spiral stair, with light increasing as you move upwards.
Paths of movement - there is an underlying spatial pattern - difference between horizontal and vertical movement.
Places of movement vs. places you move into.
The house as a container. Horizontal windows create continuity of walls that hold you in. Horizontal surfaces throughout to hold various objects.
