Details
The goal of this project is to analyze existing systems utilized by the architect, Richard Meier, in his 1965 Smith House project and implement them into an addition to the existing house. In doing so, the addition must refrain from destroying Meier's original patterns and methodologies. Overall, creating unity between the old and new.
Architectural Design II - Project II
An addition to an existing order,
"requires first that the ordering system of the prior or prototypical model be perceived and understood so that, through a series of finite changes and permutations, the original design concept can be clarified, strengthened, and built upon, rather than destroyed."
Francis D.K. Ching, Architecture: Form, Space & Order
