Final Partii Sketch:

Before drawing my final partii sketches, I did substantial research into Utzon’s Can Feliz as well as his other architecture. From this research, I became aware that Jorn Utzon was an architect who had reasons behind most, if not all of his design decisions. I then realised I had to take the detailed plan back to the compilation stage where initial core conceptual thinking and rationale began.

From deep analytical analysis of Can Feliz, it became apparent that there are several core conceptual ideas Utzon carried throughout the design and building stages of Can Feliz. Majority of these core ideas resemble those which can be found within traditional Japanese and Chinese architecture.

My final Partii sketch demonstrates several core conceptual ideas behind the plan and layout of Can Feliz. Within this sketch, I have attempted to break down the plan into a simple thinking process where:

• Spaces have been designated as private, semi private or public
• A main controlled circulation path has been formed
• Areas have been designed to be open or enclosed depending on their function
• Rooms have been placed in hierarchy
• Interior spaces have been placed on a platform at a higher level to form a sense of security
• Specific solar access and views have been assigned to each space
• Majority of the plan has been constructed of public spaces for socialising, entertainment, contemplation and "experiencing" nature
