I applied the different mappings of window placements to other facades in other parts of Gothenburg. I wanted to see if certain combinations worked better together, and if so, try to analyze why. Some of the facades that were modified became almost futuristic. An example is the modification of Norra Hamngatan 8, where the window sections have become elongated and the rest of the facade is bare and expressionless.
I have explored the boundaries of rhythm and pattern in a facade, how much can you subtract from it before it loses its pattern or rhythm? I started by subtracting details and ornamentation, but this wasn’t enough. So, I started to erase the windows, evidently the facade lost its pattern.
The next thing i did in the process was to add repetitive components together into one facade. I decided to choose Kungstorget as site for my experiment. Kungstorget is a perfect site as it is surrounded by several different building styles. The final product became a a facade that does not take building style into account but merely reflects its surrounding.
