We had a great day flying kites, Despite little wind and some early damage to the wing we got it up in the air!

Our final output was a Kite as a homage to Wittgenstein’s Interest in aeronautics. We Made a glider frame out of bamboo and covered it in a waterproof fabric - this fabric proved a bit heavy, next time we will pick something lighter.
The Design is an entropy graph it represents the hut going from a singularity to being de-constructed into components then back to a singularity.

This render shows the material qualities of our hut, the contrast between open and enclosed spaces and the actual view from the site over the lake and fjords.

An addition we made to the roof was to use a Faraday Cage to block mobile and internet signals. We wanted this so the space would be one that visitors experience in isolation without the distraction of civilisation. This was why Wittgenstein loved his hut in Norway.

The spaces have a strict logic but the contrast between open and closed spaces and the rough texture of the re-used wooden planks give the site a human feel. We didn’t use all the huts components in the model because some should be kept where they can be appreciated and better protected. We also left out the extension because we didn’t think it was part of Wittgenstein’s time line.

We shaped our plan around a circulation that divides groups of visitors so they experience the spaces in isolation - Wittgenstein intended the space as a place for contemplation. They are then reunited in a central area above where the huts foundations are visible and are able to appreciate the view together.

We studied the modernist house he designed in Vienna and deduced that the contrast between his architecture and the Hut correlated with the development of his Philosophy from an all powerful solution to a more considered contextual theory. In our scheme we will show separation between the Logic and contextual.

After learning about Wittgenstein's Life as a philosopher we were Set the task of re-constructing a hut from it's original components. Above is a site map and a section through our proposal.
