To begin the semester as a class we split up into partners to study a house for the first few weeks.

This house would eventually dictate our whole semesters decision making Dylan Jones| D2 |Project 1 Form, Space + Order

Given the small amount of drawings provided by the Architects of the Newberg Residence, we had to recreate the orthographic drawings

Original Drawings Recreated Drawings

The Newberg Residence’s relationship with the environment is its most important feature. This is influenced by its location in a forest over top of a pond.

Alongside the drawings we were tasked to build models with site context. This process would teach very valuable lessons about scale and elevation.

Alongside Project 1, Marwa and I had to study Douglas Joseph Cardinal, a well-respected Architect from Calgary.

His work is especially fascinating due to his tendency to break form boundaries.

The other assignment we had apart from the three projects was the Tectonic Maquette that put the class to the test with drawing, model building, and scale techniques week by week. In the end we had a finalized double height house with a site.

To build on top of the first project, Project 2 dives deep into pulling concepts out of the case study house and utilizing it to your own ability.

This project served as a break point where we could develop more concrete opinions about the case study house we had chosen.

For Project 3, we added the last building block on top of our case study house.

First, we located our site for our eventual design to be built on (below the design center on campus)

Through understanding the site, we began to develop design decisions for our cabin. This cabin would take core concepts from our case study house.

Project 1 to project 3, the class took each of our own interpretations of our case study house, abstract and conceptualize it, and then recreate it in our own design.

Semester Reflection Overall, this semester has motivated me to strive for the best in my work. I now look at the critiques as a chance to better my skillset and I am eager to here where I make mistakes at so I can change them in future projects in my career. This semester dove deeper into architecture and the specifics which took many of us by surprise when design 1 was far from it.

The way I think about architecture has changed this semester after studying one single house the whole semester. It is easy it overlook important elements to a house at first glance. It seemed I found more and more about the Newberg Residence every time I searched.

Leading up to Design 3, I am engaged and excited to continue learning about architecture because of design 2. I am eager to put the feedback I've gotten this semester to the test on future projects.
