Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the fundamental changes and hidden crises behind the formation of the spatial organisation of modern buildings generated by the free space under the domino system. The thesis explores the evolution of spatial sequences within buildings and how these are perceived by users in three dimensions: walls and poché, the layout of rooms, and the organisation of spatial sequences at different levels. The thesis examines the spatial organisation of Baroque buildings and 15th century Scottish castles with the aim of exploring the composition of spatial sequences from room to room and their unique spatial appeal. By examining the emergence of corridor space to the evolution of the free plan in modern architecture, the essay points out the erosion of inter-room connections by the infinite free space and the loss of spatial fascination due to the repetition of floor plans. In light of this phenomenon, a sculpture school with a gallery in Zurich was chosen for the design project to offer a solution to this spatial crisis by reintroducing spatial sequences from room to room.
