Casa Poli by Pezo von Elrichausen Architects case study project - hand drawings and wood model

Columbus, Indiana Monastery Based off of a study of the medieval town, the Columbus, Indiana Monastery is a conglameration of routine and program, contained inside a web of structural members. The result is a complex that feels both massive and human, focusing on self reďŹ&#x201A;ection just as much as the advancement of the community. In an effort to unite the numerous and varied programatic spaces, the monolithic structural system extends beyond each individual enclosure, forming circulatory routes, creating visual connections, and establishing implied boundaries.

This is a sketch of the Juvet Landscape Hotel from my Summer 2011 trip to Scandinavia. As seen from the plan, the hotel does not rent out standard rooms so much as individ ual buildings. Every build ing has a unique layout that never reveals the windows of other guest's suites. This lends itself to a feeling of both community and privacy. Deisgned to make the occupant feel as if they were inside a camera lens, each building has a dark interior and one large window, presenting an ex clusive "shot", or view of the forest and nearby river.

This is a hand drafted drawing of stairs as seen through the windows of Mies van der Rohe's Crown Hall. The drawing humorously combines the realism of cracking conď&#x20AC; crete and precise drawing techniques with the fantasy of a view that can not actuď&#x20AC; ally be achieved.
