5. Möbius House

6. For the Möbius Houses’s intrepid clients and their equally intrepid architects, the building represents a leap into the future. Whether it will be loved or held up as an exemplar in fifty years’s time is impossible to say, but for the present it provides its young occupants with a suitably fashionable lifestyle armature ---------CONNIE VAN CLEEF

7. Architect is kind of a surfer, who, with his knowledge of the tides and the undercurrents, balances on the waves. --------REM KOOLHAS

8. Van berkel are still looking for the big waves that allow one to have a moment of heroism—even if it might be the last.

9. Generating Diagram

10. Diagrams are best known and understood as reductive machines for the compression of information. When the informed reader consumes a specialist diagram, the effect is like that of self-inflating life jacket: a small package grows to full shape in the time it takes to exhale a breath of air --------Ben van berkel wrote for ‘ANY MAGAZINE’

11. WHAT’S UN MEANS UN is short for United Network, which means the office of Van berkel’s is a new organization based on a computer network. All the parties involved in the building process such as the architect,the clients, the landscape designer, the structural engineers and the site foremen work together, making the final scheme the result of a process of confrontation and negotiation of all the different parties

12. No longer a visual archive.but an abstract machine. No longer stay still, but coextensive with the whole social field. Generating diagrams hastens pleasant living.

13. Make the building fit. Make the purpose gain. Make the theory break. Make the architecture free.

14. Live it … love it !

20. Always Möbius

21. CONCEPT Inspiration : MöbiusTrip Clients :Husband and wife both work at home Demand :Work family social life and individual space are all allotted Principle : Double-locked torus conveys the organization of two interwining paths, which trace how two people can live together,yet apart,meeting at certain points,which become shared spaces.

22. SITE PLAN The Möbius house is at Het Gooi, a sparsely built-up area not far from Amsterdam with a series of detached houses rounded by woods, meadows and heath land

23. SITE PLAN Transportation The spectacular surrounding scenery : a peninsula between two rivers encircled by beech trace and with a strip of grass in the middle

24. SITE PLAN Foundation • Lies on the slope of a small valley

25. ROUTING-----FUNCTION Children’s room Studio Studio Two individuals’ life patterns intertwining and working against each other At certain points,they enjoy family life Shared space

26. ROUTING-----FUNCTION studio Children’s room kitchen Garage Living room Bed room Meeting room Guest flat Entrance hall Storage Studio

27. ROUTING-----FUNCTION First floor groundfloor Lower groundfloor

28. ROUTING-----FUNCTION Almost apart from the main building-- Möbius Loop Adjust the uneven foundation Guest room Convenient receiving guests, independent of the couple’s daily life Storage Make use of the wall and lead to the entrance Lower ground floor

29. ROUTING-----FUNCTION Private space Away from interference Garage Opposite to the main road Shared space Open space Share spare time together with a view of Arcadian forest Ramp Connect the spaces &change the state of mind Ground floor

30. ROUTING-----FUNCTION Roof garden Shared space Private space Away from interference Corridor Join the entrance hall ,close the circulation Children’s room Receive beautiful sunlight First floor

31. ROUTING-----TIME A virtual Möbiustrip connects the different parts of the program in a 24----hour cycle

32. ROUTING-----TIME

33. ROUTING-----TIME The cycle of the sun

34. SHAPE-----APPEARANCE The organizing principle of this unconventional dwelling is the endlessly repeating Möbius trip The conventional aesthetic sense of the unconventional dwelling:The whole building looks like the familiar figure-of-8 The angular jutting geometries bear little physical resemblance to the smooth Möbius curves

35. SHAPE-----MATERIAL The concept of the Möbius trip also extends to the main materials The structure movement is transported to the organization of the two main materials used for the house.concrete&glass,which move in front of each other and switch places,concrete construction becoming furniture,and glass facades turning into inside partition walls Concrete furniture Glass wall

36. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Concrete---stark yet crisp The concrete planes’ complex fragmented form has more in common with an inhabitable sculpture or expressionist film set and its stark materiality and spatial perversions do not conform to conventional notions of gentle informal domesticity

37. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Interior glass Transparency makes the walls and open spaces often difficult to distinguish from each other

38. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Exterior glass The glass along the route makes living in the house like walking in a Arcadian forest

39. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Exterior glass The glass around the east end and on the roof of the corridor fetch a 3D view

40. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Concrete & Glass The contract between substantial and unsubstantial From some angel the building looks like a concrete shell with a piece of glass inlayed in From some angel the building looks like a glass box with concrete planes embellished

41. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Concrete & Glass Overlapping planes of concrete and glass creates a new material texture

42. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Wood The wood plan is fixed on the roof and the surface of hanging box which is quite unusual

43. SHAPE-----MATERIAL Wood From The using of the wood planes is also a mean to prescribe spaces

44. SHAPE Spatial organization The arrangement of the blocks follows the function contact Garage Main block Guest room

45. SHAPE Spatial organizationTechnique Hanging box Wrap round glazed partition

46. SHAPE Spatial organizationTechnique Hanging box adds transformation to the administrative levels Wrap round glazed partition: --Stop the movement but let the sight line get through --The concrete stair in the glass staircase looks like a sculpture exhibited in a crystal case --The concrete boxes and the glass boxes show a contract between substantial and unsubstantial
