Respecting the Hillside
"We felt it would be good to have a subdued presence from the front," says Eimar Boesjes,an architectural software developer and Internet entrepreneur."It doesn't say 'we're here!' like the other houses."
The house opens away from the street,out into the natural space beyond it,the true focus,with the silvery lines of its cantilevered rooftops hanging in space over the hillside,drawing the eye from the house to the summit of Spencer Butte,framed between two distant ridges.
"The house is playing with the angles of the Butte," notes Van Asperdt."It's an abstracted Butte."
As such,the vertical clear cedar siding on the walls evokes the surrounding trees.Every roof,sheathed in gunmetal gray steel,quotes the Oregon sky in winter.And the granite boulders,positioned beneath each of the drainage spouts,ground the house to the hillside with each drop of falling water.
"These four roofs combined generate 100,000 gallons (380 cubic meters) of rainwater each year.That's a major water problem.There's no reason,in a place like Oregon,where it rains nine months out of the year,we shouldn't collect this water and put it to use."
With the addition of a filtration system,the cistern can provide enough drinking and gray water annually for the couple,their two children,guests,and employees.
In the summer,a fan in the cistern cools the house,pumping 55-degree air into the upper rooms.In the winter,heated rainwater circulates beneath the engineered maple floors.
.Wright evolved a new concept of interior space in architecture.Rejecting the existing view of rooms as single-function boxes,Wright created overlapping and interpenetrating rooms with shared spaces.He designated use areas with screening devices and subtle changes in ceiling heights and created the idea of defined space as opposed to enclosed space.
Walter Burley Griffin was among the many notable architects to emerge from the Wright studios.In 1932 Wright established the Taliesin Fellowship - a group of apprentices who did construction work,domestic chores,and design studies.Four years later,he designed and built both Fallingwater and the Johnson Administration Building.These designs re-invigorated Wright's career and led to a steady flow of commissions,particularly for lower middle income housing.Wright responded to the need for low income housing with the Usonian house,a development from his earlier prairie house.During the last part of his life,Wright produced a wide range of work.Particularly important was Taliesin West,a winter retreat and studio he built in Phoenix,Arizona.He died at Taliesin West in 1959.
关于这山坡“我们认为从前面放缓将会不错”艾马尔.波一杰斯说,一个建筑软件开发者和一个网络企业家.“并不是说我们在此就可以!如其它的房屋”房子远离街头而建,融入自然,这就是焦点,从屋子到斯潘塞丘陵之巅在眼里画...谢谢-。-求继续赖特在房屋建筑内饰空间里演绎了一个新的概念。没有使用这个把单个房间作为独立功能的固有观念。 赖特创造了一个交错混搭的共同分享空间布局。他用屏风设备间隔使用区域和在天花板上使用易拆换物件来创造定义空间作为相冲突的密闭空间。沃尔特.格里芬作为众多著名的建筑师中的一员,从赖特工作室里脱颖而出。在1932年 赖特创立了泰丽艾森(Taliesin)团队--一个学徒团体,他们做建筑工作,家装和设计研究。四年后,他设计并建造两个工程“瀑布”(FALLINGWATER)和强生行政大厦(JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION BUILDING)。这些设计再次使得赖特的事业蒸蒸日上,并引导他进入一系列稳定项目任务,特别是针对中低收入住房。Usonian住房作为赖特为低收入房屋需要作响应, 一个由早期的空地建造住房而来。在他生命后期的一部分,赖特拓展了他的工作范围。特别重要的是西泰丽艾森(Taliesin West),一个冬天的静居所和在亚利桑那州菲尼克斯的工作室。赖特于1959年死于西泰丽艾森(Taliesin West)。 THE END
