Initial Partii Sketches:

Note: Each of the following Partii sketched are too defined and advanced and need to represent the initial and core ideas within the building, final Partii sketches will demonstrate Utzon's major conceptual ideas and planning behind the final plan.

Geometrical Analysis of Plan:

Utzon's plan for Can Feliz is very simple in its form, constructed through the use of repetitive rectangles and squares which form consistent right angles throughout the plan with not one curve present. The private and semi private spaces seem to be squared and the other public areas constructed of consecutive rectangles.

Physically Enclosed and Open spaces within the Plan:

As mentioned in another post, each of the private and semi private spaces and rooms seem to be almost completely enclosed which completely contrasts with all of the public spaces which are open, completely exposed and seem to flow quite smoothly onto the next space. Solid walls surrounding the private areas define which areas are designated to those who live within the house whilst the open and flowing spaces such as the terraces and swimming pool become obvious public spaces.

Public, Private and Semi Private Spaces:

The spaces within the plan that Utzon has designed to become Private are shaded the darkest, those which are semi private are also shaded however much lighter than the private areas. Majority of the remaining white unshaded areas are public spaces and as can be seen, the public spaces dominate the plan.

I believe that Utzon has designed public areas for socialising, entertaining, contemplation and relaxation quite generously. These public spaces are those which receive different treatment to the rest of the house in regards to natural lighting, scale, views, and aesthetic detail.

Circulation Paths within the Plan:

The Partii Sketch above demonstrates the possible routes one may take throughout the house due to signals gained from not only doors, but other openings between columns or even level changes. There are many options one may decide however there is one very controlled circulation path in which Utzon has controlled very strictly within his Plan. I will explore this intended and controlled pathway in my final Partii sketch.
