This barely viewable clip is recent animation of a project from Summer 2005, looking at circulation as means of softening or maintaining cultural identity within a large, multigenerational family. It was also an attempt to recast traditions of privacy and visual access layers inherent in the original culture's building traditions (they were from a region of northeast India) in a more modernist vocabulary.
The lowest level, garage, laundry and storage, was partially underground. The first floor was the most open, being ceremonial family activities such as greeting and eating. Above that recreation, studying and subgroup social activity, and the opaque top floor was sleeping, dressing and bathing.
The animation focuses mostly on the two most open floors. I have removed the structural columns from this model to emphasize circulation and visual porosity.
Youtube does not treat the louvers kindly.
The finished clip is actually 1.4GB, so this is drastically compressed. (Chris Dane Owens it is not.) All the raw movies were generated in ArchiCAD and the edited together in Adobe Premier. The music is "Beeline" by the California Guitar Trio, which happened to be roughly the right length for the piece. I am obviously still trying to get down camera control in ArchiCAD.
