Project 1(Part 1) - Villa Savoye Research
A Reflection on Le Corbusier's 5 Points
01. THE SUPPORTS.
What resonated most with this point was the purpose and pure function of the supports. Corbusier expresses them in their most purest form, their presence is for support, foundation, stability.

02. THE ROOF GARDENS.
Sure enough, Corbusier also addresses the purpose of the rooftop gardens as well; not only are they to serve as a peaceful oasis, but they also serve a rather crucial part in the integrity of the entire building. Although beauty and luxury are displayed by the garden, below the surface we see it protects the building itself, conceptualized to be somewhat of a 'skin' and it also resolved the issue of the flat roof in regards to weather and water run-off. The most interesting point he makes is "In general, roof gardens mean to a city the recovery of all the built up area."

03. THE FREE DESIGNING OF THE GROUND-PLAN.
Through all of this precision, specificity, exact, and practical nature comes independence. It again shows the purpose and function of the above elements and how they contribute to a freedom of design creating a unique experience / transition from the facade to the interior of the space.

04. THE HORIZONTAL WINDOW.
Here, Corbusier not only convinces us of the beneficial light and illumination of horizontal windows versus vertical, but he also stresses how horizontal windows are fitting give the structure of the supports. This is also interesting as it reflects the horizontal nature of the building itself, and the strength, stability and support of the reinforced concrete as it's wider than it is tall.

05. FREE DESIGN OF THE FACADE.
With this point, Corbusier, while still practical and within function somewhat breaks free of the support construction and demonstrates the versatility the building can also have with the balcony-like extension of the floor. Here the facade can break free of the supports and dividing factors of the interior; it's interesting how he breaks from these points but still with limitation.

ARCH 1142 Project 3 - Photomontage
Concept Model (Circulation, Symmetry)
Photomontage
(Realistic Style)
(Dream Style)
(Abstract Style)
Final Poster
This Project is named Photo-montage which means a picture composed by assembling, overlaying and overlapping many different materials or scenes. So, in my project, I created 3 different styles, Dream, Realistic and Abstract styles. They all represent 3 different moods, first one refers to "sad"; second one refers " and third one curious"to. From this project, the most interesting and useful skills I've learned that are understand and explore the concept from other architectures. And then, utilize into our own concept. And also, I improved my computing skills, such as photoshop. However, this is a good experience for me, all of these could influence me in my future design project.
ARCH 1142 Project 2 - Draw it
Fisher House Rendering
Final Poster
Project 2 is about architecture drawing. In this project, we have to draw the plan and elevation in architecture way and render the plan and elevation. From this project I've improved the architecture drawing and rendering. I used marker to render my project, this is a good way to show the material of the building as it looks simple and nature. On the other hand, I also learned many different methods from my classmates, such as watercolor, color pencil. However, this is a good opportunity for me to improve architecture drawing and rendering skill, and understand the importance of architecture drawing and rendering.
ARCH 1142 Project 1 - Model it
Fisher House (1:50)
Barcelona Pavillion (1:200)
Fisher House (1:200)
Final Poster
This project is about modeling. It is an interesting project as model making is a very important skill that architects must have. From this project, I've improved my modeling skill. Actually, the 1:200 scale model is more difficult than the 1:50 scale model, because the size is too small, when u cut the material that u have to be very careful and accurate. However, after this project I learned how to make the good models. And also, after tutor gave me some comments that I could make the perfect model in my future design studio.
