In the first project of design 2 we were asked to study a significant twentieth century or contemporary house. In project two we developed conceptual drawings and models based on our own critical reading of this house, focusing on the color and material palette of the house-from interior to landscape. Exploring the implications of these phenomena in the readings of space and form.

PROJECT 3: PRECEDENT + INVENTION, STRUCTURE + SITE: USING RESEARCH TO CREATE PLACE

A small cabin that exemplifies the design principals of Atelier Villa a house I studied in such a de-materialized way.

Reflection Essay

As an architecture student, the second semester of Architectural Design was a significant turning point for me. I discovered many things about myself and the built environment. I discovered my assets and weaknesses through trial and error. Being able to get feedback from my classmates and professors is something that I will never forget because it has help me a lot to be more confident about my designs and ideas. By the end of my first year of Architecture school, I was able to confidently assert that I had discovered a dialogue between the ideas circulating in my head and what I could demonstrate through sketching and drawing.
