Experiment 2-Horizontal windows vs views











Taking the geometries of the final design on experiment 1, i then placed these in their original positions relative to where they sit in elevation. Then I extruded there percieved views inwards to give an idea of how the new geometries of the windows would affect the views into the house this is what i found.

Experiment 3 -Circulation











For each floor I firstly drew the main circulations methods, then for each level I used a different method to map these circulations. In level 1 I mapped the main circulation feature which is the ramp and showed this through the change in height. In level 2 i extruded the negative spaces around the circulation to show the route of circulation. And in level 3 I extruded the circulation route itself to show the route. This shows a different way of looking at these circulations on each level.

Experiment 1 - Horizontal windows vs Geometry

























A main feature of the Villa Savoye was the use of horizontal windows and the simple rectangular geometry that it had is one of the most recognizeble aspects of it. By playing with these geometries, going through a process I explored this idea to create a new way of experiencing these horizontal windows and the views that went along with it.
