combining models
1996.06.07
For the last two days I have been generating perspectives of the Maison l'Homme . The drawings are fine but I still feel there is something lacking; they are nothing more than drawings that can be created over and over again. They are not analytical and they don't add much information concerning the building. (Of course, if this were an unbuilt building, the perspective, axonometrics, and elevations alone would be a greater contribution.) In order to make the drawings and data more interesting and more informative, Maison l'Homme will be combined with other building databases, first picking those buildings at the same comparative scale.
Maison l'Homme and Houses Under a Common Roof
Maison l'Homme and Villa Savoye
Maison l'Homme and Wall House 2
Maison l'Homme and Hurva Synagogue
Concerning a Maison l'Homme/Villa Savoye comparison, I imagined what it would be like to see the lower story of Villa Savoye two stories high. The idea being that the elevated box will be like the independent roof of Maison l'Homme. I see implications of how to elaborate on the architectural promenade formula.
In general, this comparison project is an ongoing investigation of architectural scale, and an investigation of the different manipulative things that can be done with the computer models.

Savoye-Weber combination
1996.06.08
Started to generate perspectives with Villa Savoye and Maison l'Homme next to each other. The results so far are positive, but there are aspects that can be improved. The buildings will eventually be perpendicular to each other, rather than facing front to front. The perpendicular situation will present more interesting perspectives. Wondering whether to add some other scaling elements, like a human figure, or a row of trees, or some kind of sculptural element like an obelisk or something.
