Two Houses

A study in Repetition and Obstruction

The studio initiated with thorough documentation of the canonical 20th century house, Maison Crohan, by Le Corbusier.

 

Through a variety of representational systems, the relationships between spatial concepts, formal syntax, tectonic systems, material properties and construction logics were analyzed.

 

Material investigations, critical to the house analyzed, allowed to redesign house II by producing new logics of construction.
