Blue Frog Acoustic Lounge
1) Select a room/ single interior space (not an entire building or floor of a building!) (in this case its Blue Frog Acoustic Lounge in Mumbai designed by Serie Architects) within a domestic or monumental structure created between 1995 and present. The space you select must be physically built and completed (no cyber architecture / temporary / under construction) and must contain some furnishings. The space you select needs to be pre-approved by the deadline discussed above. Approval requires attaching two images of your chosen room to your email. These images will be uploaded by me into the Blackboard folder labeled “chosen essay topics” acting as a visual record for you and your classmates.
2) Analyze your room from the perspectives that follow in the order listed. Make sure each perspective receives AT LEAST ONE paragraph of coverage in your essay. Subheadings are required for each perspective. Make sure you answer EACH question for EACH perspective in order and clearly.
A) Historical Introduction:
This perspective introduces the background to your room’s construction: Why was the building of the space initiated? Who was the patron(s) and what was their social-cultural situation? Was there a competition? Budget? Why was your architect/designer selected over the competition?
B) Spatial Organization and Planning:
This perspective introduces the situation of your room within the building: Where is the room located within the building? How does the room fit into the spatial planning of the building? What are its adjacent spaces? What are its axes of approach? What are your room’s dimensions? How is the space organized within the room? Where is each major element/feature located (describe moving clockwise)? What are its circulation patterns? Compass directions (north, south, east, west) are REQUIRED for clarity of descriptions.
C) Materials and Construction Method(s):
This perspective introduces your room’s methods of construction and materials: How was the room constructed beginning with the framing? What materials and construction methods were used to create each of its major elements/features (including floors, walls, ceilings, glazing, built-ins, fixtures)?
D) Furnishings and Ornamentation:
This perspective introduces the room’s furnishings and choices for ornamentation: What furniture is present in the space (based on the illustration you chose)? What types of materials/construction were used for any important furnishings? What ornamentation / objects (fine, decorative, applied arts) are present in the space? Have there been any changes to the original furnishings/ ornamentation/ objects since the room was completed? You MUST analyze the colors, textures, contrasts, patterns, rhythms, and reflections used to ornament the space.
E) Functions and Signification:
This perspective presents your analysis and synthesis of the room’s functions and semiotics: What are the functions of the space? If they have changed since its completion/renovation by your designer, why? What types of statements was the room intended to make about its owner(s)? What types of values and philosophies were intended to be signified by the room for its creator(s) / viewers? This perspective requires AT LEAST TWO paragraphs and should draw on the earlier perspectives for support.
