SUCKLING MOTHER AND MAID, PIETER DE HOOCH, 1670-1675

"A space for a mother to nurture her children separate from the duties of her role in society."

PROJECT TWO - ROOM AND NARRATIVE

AIM
Examine the way in which the occupation of room is animated by both parti and poché. The role and the design of windows and doors in particular will be explored. Architectonics, they are namely rooms and openings in this project, are not “pure” any more, rather they are where the inhabitation lies. It is the combination of architectonics and program that generates the special potency for making architecture. More specifically, this project asks whether or not the design of room would help enshrine an interior life of the inhabitant.

Choose a domestic interior scene, either from a 17th-century Dutch painting or that of Edward Hopper’s in the early 20th century. Try to uncover the meaning and narrative of the painting and then transform the domestic scene into a series of rooms to accommodate your figure and the narrative you have produced.
