The Preperation



1.A brief outline of Project 1 – What was your chosen architecture? What were the concepts unpacked in your concept model?

 My chosen architectures are Peter Eisenmans Reianhardt Haus and Kazuyo Sejima's small house. the concepts unpacked for my model were the use of irregular shapes, stacking shapes together and overlapping.


2.A visual analysis of 2x precedent studies as a pair – One from your Project 1 architect, another from an architect of your own choosing. How are they conceptually similar to Project 1?

The Reinhardt haus and the and Kazuyo Sejima Small House are conceptually similar as they are both irregular in shape and out of the norm, they are both multi storied and are really translucent which my building lacked. They also uset he  stacking of shapes. The Reinhardt haus stacks shapes in all different directions which also gives it that irregular shape while the kazuyo Sejma Small House uses stacking of floors that change size of the ground and ceiling on each floor.



3.A Design Proposal and Design Draft for Assignment 3 – List three specific building types and functions for your new design. How can they challenge the concepts and ideas you have looked at in Project 1? Select one and begin a first design draft.
