left sketches of Loos’ houses right cross-section of the project
After we finished the design of the masterplan, each member of the couples had to make a project for the building itself. Since our professor wanted us to design the building based on Adolf Loos’ concept of raumplan, which means that the plan should be articulated in 3D space, we organized a journey through Vienna and Prague, to visit as many as possible Loos’ architetures. The journey gave me the knowledge of the architect’s works and of how complex and sophisticated was his way of designing houses: what we mostly reflect upon was the treatmentof the different rooms (especially in heights) and their relation with the outside surroundings.
