architectural design studio 2
project 1 : "famous people, familiar faces" diagrammatic abstraction
In this project, we were required to research, investigate and generate a 5-minute informative video on the works done by master architects. After that, we had to formulate our findings into a set of 10 models. The model should be precise and informative to express the analysis of the ideas hidden in the selected building. The building that we were assigned to is Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. It is a modern architecture built in 1931 and is located in Poissy, France.
Through this project, I was exposed to several master architects and their works. Besides that, I was able to 'diagram' and analyse the architectural work of Le Corbusier and understandthe the basic architectural compositions of solids, planes, lines and frames.
