This building is located on Washtenaw Ave, Ann Arbor and is primarily for the sale of outdoor furniture. The main material of the building is red brick. The dimensions of the store are 120ft x 80ft. The most important feature of this warehouse is the entrance tower. The store also has a terrace at the entrance for merchants to display outdoor table and chair sets. The front windows are colored transparent glass, but the side windows are opaque because the store has an interior backdrop for displaying the furniture in a more appropriate scene.
The interior of the building is divided into three areas, the first being the largest showroom, which displays furniture items by type. Next are three offices for employees to rest or negotiate contracts with customers. The last area is the warehouse, which is equipped with roll-up doors for easy loading and unloading of furniture. Above the interior of the building are trusses, lighting and ventilation systems.
This diagram shows the building as a
kit-of-parts including ventilation ducts, step treads, door frames, facade materials, terrace surfaces, emergency exits, roof venting, lights, trusses, glass,
front doors, roof trim, window frames, and hanging ropes.
The outdoor stuff map analyzes products based on four outdoor activities, including camping, hunting, climbing, and kayaking. Each section introduces brands and manufacturers, item lists and uses, cycles and shipping, and disposals. The recycling and environmental impact of some items are also detailed.
The pool stuff map also describes brands and manufacturers, item listings and uses, cycle time and shipping, and disposals. It also details the cost of home pools, water quality control, and the environmental impact of pool water.
My design includes outdoor and pool stuff
assembled by rooming in a central plan organization. 28 rooms and a central
booth are symmetrically distributed throughout the building. Each room has a
different floor and stuff, each of which is assembled around the central in as
many different ways as possible. The three outdoor containers can be seen as
extended rooms for the display of smaller sized stuff.
The walls of each room are reserved for a part of the area, because a completely closed space would be depressing. And the reserved space is located above or below the wall, in order to make it impossible for people to directly observe the entire contents of other rooms. Not all adjacent The walls of the rooms and the STUFF in each room are symmetrical.
In this parallax video, all the outdoor stuff are in two groups, in order to achieve symmetry. The swimming ring and the pool in the middle are one group. Because they are themselves symmetrical, they are placed in the middle. Each room is placed with a single object.
The spatial experience is more intuitive to see the combination of stuff in each room. And how the walls of the rooms are shaded from the viewpoint of the interior of each room. Spotlights were added to the middle passage.
