ARCH1201_Project 1 FINAL

 Part a)
Drawings: 

Models: (1:50)

The final model I explored more of the materiality and the space between new and old, the furniture (kitchen bench) were there to present a way of living in the house. For my parts I only built shell of the suburban house to emphasize my L shaped area that I want to represent. I added levels between the two parts, this is another clever distinction between space, whether it feels interior or exterior

Part b)

Drawings:

 

Abstract models: 

formal devices:

The two things that strikes me of gehry house are the materiality and the geometries, different shape and angles. Frank Gehry not only in forms but the house do combined with a desire for ideal life in it. I want to explore how gehry make those a completion of his house. In my studies I cut out all the openings of gehry house and make a tiny room. Wall separate rooms. I created a space that contain all the openings. And similar or contrast shape corresponds with each other.

Materiality(from part a studies):

Gehry says his house is "a dump little thing with charm" he breaks some geometric forms and carving out some wall pieces. So I explored his idea with two contrasting models, one presenting the old part and the new part. with foam board and balsa.

Private and public:

In this study I want to express the idea of public and private in a simple way. When I was doing part a model and look between the L shape, the two space that gehry had created. I found out that he didn't create two different spaces, he was blending the two spaces. He teared out the walls and show the structure of the wall which makes the private space less private. Then for the public spaces he added glazing so the public space now can be more private too. So when people (his family) in the space can explore more.
