Midterm Project

In this project, it was required in a short time period (within a week), to take on an

architectural “role” of a chosen designer (which was Will Bruder) and do an

architecturally based critical review and “reading” of his work. After this preliminary

review it was required to design a simple contemporary house in his spirit, taking on his

architectural persona in the multi-dimensional context of the given site.

The Project required different presentation techniques including production of

drawings using manual and digital techniques. Physical model of site and building that

was the primary mode of exploration and design.
