within the cube while applying the concepts of enclosure, circulation,
structure, threshold, and destination to the object. TH

The purpose of this assignment was to develop my own method of inquiry.
To do so, I researched and studied Robert Venturi’s,
Vanna Venturi House through a series of writings,

As an extension to the precedent study, the challenge was to design an addition to the existing building
(the Vanna Venturi House) that utilized the same design concepts
as applied by the original architect (Robert Venturi). I accomplished
this with the use of ribbon windows, various arch designs and
overall sense of space.

I produced this model as an internship for the
Housing Assistance Corporation in Hyannis,
MA. The model (approx. 2.5 ft.x4ft.)
took me a little over 2 months to complete. TH
