Architectural and Spatial Comparisons Found in Rietveld’s “Schroder House”, Katsura Palace, and the Work of Mondrian
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing spatial design used by Rietveld, Mondrian and Kobori Enshu. Architect, artist and designer Gerrit Rietveld was part of an art movement in the Netherlands in the 1920s called “De Stijl” (The Style). One of the movement’s co-founders was artist Piet Mondrian, also from the Netherlands, whose work such as “Composition in Red, Yellow and Blue” emphasized the use of universalism, geometric forms and primary colors in addition to black and white in the creation of space. While Mondrian was primarily concerned with how his two-dimensional paintings could expand to include the interior environment which surrounded them within a room, Rietveld took the ideas proposed by the De Stijl movement into the architectural designs of homes. One of the best examples of Rietveld’s designs is found in Schroder House (1924) in Utrecht in which the use of creating space using geometric shapes, planes, primary colors and movement of walls is applied. Rietveld allows for the light from the outside to come into the house adding to the creation of space through the play of light on the walls and floors which have minimal decoration and are sparsely furnished to allow for an expansive creative space. The idea of universalism and geometric space to allow for the creation of space is not unique in architectural design and can be found as far back as the 1600s in Kobori Enshu’s design of the Katsura Palace in Kyoto which applied the creation of space with the tatami module design also using moveable walls and walls which opened to the environment for flexibility in space.

Architecture and Design for People
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the impact that architects and landscape architects could have in urban areas if planning and zoning laws would support creativity. One of the problems facing American cities and towns of all sizes is that of sprawl. It is seen as a natural evolution process of cities, but closer inspection reveals that it likely is not as “natural” as planners and designers would like to believe. As cities and towns across the country seek to revitalize downtown ghost towns or determine to be proactive as downtown buildings begin to become vacant, it is valid to assess whether the pattern is inevitable or whether planning and design share responsibility. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
