Hillside Continua Housing

Big idea is how to transform the pattern into architecture. Transforming pattern into architecture needs a system that is capable of adopting the possible constraints by changing the pattern’s scale as well as the form of the pattern. I studied pattern with this premise and pattern’s transformation into architecture.

The pattern which I found is the result from the effort to maintain 3 - dimensional continuity and the relationship established by these ‘continua’. Overall system is made up of triangular module. Every triangle must share its three sides with other three triangles to maintain this continuity.
There are three criteria of transformation that occurs to change this initial pattern : scale, form, and the layering effect. At first, the system begins with a module of an equilateral triangle, however, the scale change within the system morphs into isosceles triangles whose sides are now reduced to maximum of 54 percent of its initial triangle. Secondly, the internal control point within the module triangle does not only influence the internal shape but also affects the external pattern as a whole. Adding to the change of scale, the layering logic of this pattern also provides the variation of pattern.
