ARCH1142 -Architectural Communications Week 3

CLASSWORK
Building the window detail of the Fischer House at a 1:50 scale allowed me to consider the way in which I was going to go about constructing the homework model in terms of the type of balsa used as well as the cutting techniques. 





HOMEWORK
Louis Kahn - Fischer House: In my model of the Fischer House I used distinctive materials to explore the contrasting materials in the Fischer house.

ARCH1142 -Architectural Communications Week 2

CLASSWORK
Developing concept models from the section provided allowed me to explore the idea of transition between forms. I created three forms that all played with the notion of scale. 






HOMEWORK
Site Model of Fischer House - Louis Kahn: I decided to create the trees from boxboard to ensure they appeared at one with the landscape. Cutting a hole into the landscape allowed for the building itself to sit accurately in the site.
