Barcelona Pavilion
Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, German Pavilion for the 1929 Internation Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. Took 1 year to complete.
The boards are piled with the other boards. It looks really modern. It is simple as it is. It is reduced unnecessary decoration on the building optimally yet it is embellished with materialities that embrace richness and luxury. It seems like it will soon to be collapsed, ramshackle. Well carried out the concept "Floating room".
House in Bordeaux
Architect Rem Koolhaas, 1994-1998. Located in Bordeaux, France.
I do not like the way they use circles on the facade, it would rather look better if there was pattern of straight lines to keep lineal beauty. I like the materials they used but it made me curious what the column-beam looking structure is for, if it was a little out of the blue. However, inside of the building it is absolutely modern and beautiful that satisfies both disable and able persons needs.
Rudin House
It was designed by Architect Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, built in 1996-1997. Located in Leymen, High Rhin, France.
It looks like the house is floating. Very typical traditional home, the roof and square windows but modern subverts in terms of materials and style (simplicity, cleanliness in their finishes). Top looks very heavy as the material is concrete.
The 50 word reflection of week1
I get the idea what i should be doing for this assignment. Materiality research should be done quite detailly. I thought it would be fun to know how things decay as well. And most importantly i would know how important it is to know the characteristics of materials im using for my building in the future.
