Model It. Week One: Barcelona Pavilion / House Task

- House Task -

The intent regarding the creating of two houses within an interesting manner as perceived below, surrounded the notion of lightness and depth of perception with relation to colour as perceived by the human eye. We identify identical architectural form, however through a careful arrangement, of which is further enhanced by two tapered skewers may the depth of the structures begin to juxtapose one another.

- Barcelona Pavilion -

The Barcelona Pavilion from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe of 1929 portrays a unique interplay of modern form within a spatially linear dimension. Achieved through various juxtapositions of orthogonally linear elements may the responder’s perception of the structure be defined in association with the relative correlation of materials.
