Kaufmann Desert House By Richard Neutra

For Project 1 we were tasked to research our mother house (the Kauffman Desert House) and come up with drawlings and a model with the help of a partner (Serma Basha). This project taught me the importance of drawing to scale and how helpful a model can be when you are not able to access the building itself.

In Project 2 the main objective was to grasp a clear understand on how to draw a perspective and abstractly represent the key concepts that derived from my mother house. This project forced me to look at all things within this project abstactly.
