Based on Le Corbusier’s Ribbon Window Proportion

One of the implementations of the Le Corbusier Architectural revolution was the presence of windows and free facades. Le Corbusier emphasizes the view aspect of a window in a house building. A window becomes a panorama of space. At that time the ribbon window became the new face of window exploration on the façade.

Apartment inhabited by various community backgrounds. Heterogeneous users need their personalization of space and façade expressions, one of which is a window. The function of the window as a view catcher is certainly not lost, but the problem of windows as identity and expression on the façade becomes new.

The design talks about how to use the user’s personality type as data for apartment design-builders using the principle of le Corbusier proportions. The criteria are how different window proposals can maximize the quality of the space, to the expression of the façade present.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a psychotic designed to measure a person’s purely basic psychological preferences in seeing the world and making decisions. These psychotics are designed to measure an individual’s intelligence, talents, and personality type. Introvert-extrovert, sensing-intuition, Thinking-Feeling, and judging perceiving are 4 pairs of character variations in MBTI, permutations resulting in 16 different personality types consisting of 4 letter code arrangements.

16 characters of MBTI as data on the design becomes the input of the specified design parameter. Parametric methods are used in presenting permutations of inputted data. Parameters are determined based on the transfer of a domain from an outside domain architecture (MBTI) to an architectural domain. Introvert — extroverts are transferred into changes from translucent to transparent windows. Sensing — intuition transferred into a focused window shape until it expands. Thinking — Feeling is transferred into the shape of a vertical to the horizontal window. Judging-Perceiving is transferred into a regular to random window pattern.

The shape of the space, the order of furniture, decoration and circulation are also determined the parameters of the change. 16 personalities will be inputted on the design algorithm to give rise to the permutation of form and design. The algorithm also determines how the arrangement of closeness between personalities. The design tries to find the fittest form and the most appropriate order to the character of each personality to the closeness of space between personalities.

The design consists of 4 types of houses, studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedrooms. The four types are arranged in a block. Each type consists of 16 personalities with an order of 4 houses per floor totalling 4 floors per type. Between blocks, the type of house is limited to split floors that are used as facility space. The technical design uses a core-supported shaft structure system. The beam-column system is also combined in the outermost part of the design as support in the cantilever. The selection of the three systems is considered from the difference in the shape of each space in the design.
