ARCHITECTURE STUDIO II PROJECT 1 : DIAGRAMMATIC ABSTRACTION

In the beginning of Semester 2, for our studio II first project is a group of 5 project. We were placed under a category of a famous architect and a random masterpiece of him. The architect that we got is Adolf Loos and the masterpiece is Scheu house.

Before everything started, we were required to carry out a presentation of our research on Adolf Loos and Scheu House which include the background of architect, the style of architect, context of the structure, elements, circulations, form & space of the house. 

Studio final from Yu Xian Liew

After the slides presentation, we then proceed with drawing out the orthographic drawings of the Scheu house and build 10 diagrammatic abstraction models to showcase 10 of the interesting point of the Scheu House which is :

• Hierarchy
• Approach
• Symmetry & Balance
• Massing & Structure
• Additive & Subtractive
• Opening
• Experience
• Circulation
• Repetitive to Unique
• Enclosure & Exposure 

Model making is fun but hard since we need to produce 10 models which is quite small and also a lot of progress model before the final one. In the end, we arrange our models in order and using orthographic drawing and presentation board to indicate our final outcome.
