Description:

Our groups final model had a lot of modifications to it compared to the preliminary design. We mad our spaces more concrete, to abide by the program of the project. Our first space was our temporary art gallery where the artwork would be changing frequently for the various art shows. Our second space was the permanent art gallery which was elevated and you transitioned from the temporary to the permanent art gallery by walking up an elegant staircase. In the permanent art gallery all the walls were split up partitions which allowed people to view the artwork from various different aspects and positions. Our third space was our garden which would undoubtedly catch your eye throughout the entire museum. There was a glass dome around the garden allowing numerous amounts of natural light in throughout the museum. This garden would open the museum up a lot more and would be a nice surprise to the viewers. You accessed the garden through a staircase from the permanent art gallery which brought back down to the garden.

Paintings and drawings are two-dimensional compositions. Within a two-dimensional format such as a painting or drawing, the artist is often involved with the depiction of more than two dimensions. In traditional paintings three dimensions are represented through the use of the rules of perspective. We were given a Cubist or Purist painting. We had to analyze the space represented in the composition.

Description:

To produce a three-dimensional spatial analysis of a two- dimensional composition; an arrangement of three-dimensional volumes based on the implied spatial relationships existing in a two-dimensional composition, a cubist or purist painting.

Description:

My final massing model couldn’t have turned out better. I utilized all my ideas from my preliminary stages of this project and put them all into one final model. I utilized the colors to orient which way each object was facing and I used the way each shape overlapped one another to determine the elevation of each specific piece along a very particular grid. I also created openings within the model from where previous objects had been which gave it an even more interesting overall design. The final model was monochromatic which worked well with displaying edges and the recessed portions of my model. My final model turned out just how I wanted it and it couldn’t have happened if I hadn’t done all the preliminary steps taken prior to my final model design.

Architects have often used the façade to give other clues about space within. This problem allowed me to investigate the composition of architecturally significant façades and to develop techniques of façade design.

Description:

My task was to create a model and drawing of my assigned building façade and demonstrate a clear understanding of the interconnectedness of three dimensions: plan/elevation/section. Demonstrate an ability to observe and record architectural phenomena through the creation of descriptive drawings: plan/elevation/section of their assign building façade. It also helped me to demonstrate the ability to think critically and analyze the principles underlying my assigned façade design in relation to objective

Description:

In my preliminary model of the Villa Savoye it helped me to understand the façade a lot more and gave me even more interesting ways to enhance the overall look of the design for my final model. This model helped me make crucial decisions on how the actual construction of the Villa Savoye worked and it helped me decide on which materials would work the best and give off the overall effect I was looking for when creating my final façade model. Throughout the preliminary stages of this project it helped to show me how import each part of the façade was to the overall design of the building.

Façade Design

Objective:

Arch 111

We were given the documentation without facade for a New York Townhouse designed by Robert A. M. Stern, Dean at Yale University. We were to design a façade for the townhouse which took into consideration the contextual cues as well as plan and sectional disposition of spaces. The first floor space is to be considered “shop-front” retail space. We were required to relate our façade to that program.

Description:

To design with an understanding of the relationship of façade to plan and section as well as designing a fitting facade, utilizing principles derived from the historical precedents we have analyzed.
