Academic Work - Duration: 3 weeks 2016

For our second-year course of architectural modeling, I took on the challenge of studying Rem Koolhaas’s iconic Villa dall’Ava. We had to make models understanding poche, circulation, and site lines.

For the circulation model, I wanted to focus on Rem Koolhaas’s critical explanation of the family’s need for privacy for this house.

A family of three consisting of one daughter and her parents live here. e clients selected OMA to design a house with two distinct apartments—one for themselves and another for their daughter— and requested a swimming pool on the roof. For my model, I detailed the circulation of the parents in green wires and the circulation of the daughter in pink.
