Obstruction Five: Architectural Autonomy

3-Dimensional Deliverables:












Perspective Drawings:





Reflection on the Crit:

  • The intersection between the orthogonal house plan and the organically shaped site is interesting - why was that choice made?
  • The house layout is fairly standard - could be interpreted as either a good or bad thing
  • How does the house interact with the site? Being dug so far down creates a level of seperation from interacting with the environment

Reflection on the Project:

It was by far my favorite project. While obviously the previous projects were necessary in order to teach us how to design creatively, the strides that the students all made really shone through in obstruction five because it showed that we had all become able to design creatively on our own with not much advisement at all. The projects in which people came up with their own design methods were in my opinion the most impressive. In a way, my project did this. While I used collage and 3D drawings to progress my design, I also flipped solid and void spaces to create something new, and this idea was not previously suggested during past studio projects.

Plans and Sections

The design has been finalized with plans and sections, as well as a site plan. 

The next step to prepare for the final critique is to create three-dimensional drawings, models and diagrams. Perspective drawings should also be made.
