Case Study

The Farnsworth House seems straightforward and basic but, in reality, intentionally simplistic.

Every physical element is reduced to its essence proving simple elegant functionality. The Fransworth House is located at 14520 River Rd, Plano, IL 60545, approximately 100 ft from the Fox River. The Fransworth House is Meis van der Rohe first American Home.

Mondo Materialis Iterative process

For this project we were tasked with picking three words that fully encapsulate the feeling of our mother house. Using the three words as inspiration we created 2-D and 3-D abstracts pieces of art to represent our house.

Reflective Essay

f I had to encapsulate my second-year design experience in one word, I would choose the word refinement. At the beginning of the semester, my creativity was controlling my being. Rather than myself controlling my creativity. I would have an infinite amount of ideas without clear direction. I obviously accredited my growth as a designer to my teacher, but in hindsight, my mother house (Farnsworth House) also played a significant role in my progression. Last semester I barely slept because I consistently challenged myself to the max. Although I didn't have a problem with accepting complex projects and had much success with D1, my friends expressed concern for my Heath. Nothing spoke to me when we selected our motherhouse, but my friend's concern replayed in my conscience. My partner and I chose a relatively simplistic home compared to the other options. This was honestly the best decision I could've made. Throughout the process of this year, using the Farnsworth house As an inspiration, I stayed in the design phase longer than I ever had previously. All my Deas underwent constant refinement until I got to the bare essence of what I was trying to achieve. This was in stark contrast to my design prices from day one. I would have multiple ideas competing, resulting in super creative and fun projects suitable for D1 but not effective outside a super conceptual space. As a designer, I needed to learn how to refine my ideas to something cohesive. Through the leadership of Matt Marcarelli, pushing me to strip my ideas to the bare essentials and my simplistic mother house, I have learned the art of refinement. Design 2 will always hold a special place in my heart.
