Project 1:: Analysis

The studio begins with an intensive Design Analysis, which is our "Project 1."

There are five parts in this project, from Task 01 to Task 05. Each student is assigned to analyse one building design by a world famous architect. Seven buildings are assigned. Since we have 14 students, two students will be working on the same building, but each student is required to produce work by yourself (from task 02 to 05, teamwork on task 01).

These seven buildings are: 

1	Barragan House	Barragan, Luis	1947	Mexico City, Mexico
2	Eames House (CSH No. 8)	Eames, Charles and Ray	1949	Pacific Palisades, CA
3	Bye House (Wall House)	Hejduk, John	1970	Groningen, Netherlands
4	Villa Dall’ Ava	Koolhaas, Rem	1991	St. Cloud, France
5	Rachofsky House	Meier, Richard	1996	Dallas, TX
6	Kings Road House	Schindler, R.M.	1922	Hollywood, CA
7	Plum House	Sejima, Kazuyo	2003	Tokyo, Japan
