PALAZZO CHIERICATI PRECEDENT STUDIES
This Renaissance palace located in Vicenza, Italy, was designed by architect Andrea Palladio. A wealthy commisioner, Girolamo Chiericati, had asked Palladio to design the estate, and the project was executed in 1550.
Inspired by the Renaissance movement, between the 1400s through the 1600s, the Palazzo palace included popular features of that era such as classical orders, emphasizing precise mathematical ratios of length, width, and height. Additionally, the structure was made with symmetrical patterns, classic arch styles, and columns. The main axis of the palace runs parallel to the street and is surrounded by a loggia. The rhythm of the structure is supported by proportion and engaged columns. The principle of dividing the spaces within the house using symmetry created an environment of functionality. Ultimately, the Palazzo Chiericati displayed bold and ornate features.

VILLA SAVOYE
DOCUMENTATION
The Villa Savoye, designed by Swiss architect Le Corbusier and his cousin Piere Jeanneret, created this villa to express classicism in a timeless manner through architectural moderinism. Originially built as a vacation home between 1928 and 1931 for the Savoye family, it became an official French historical monument; Le Corbusier’s project became iconic. The style of the house played as a movement, integrating mechanistic and industrial context of the early 20th century. Section 01

Site Plan
Le Corbusier had created an environment that played with private and public space. Upon entering, the site appeared to be floating above the ground and supported by the pilotis. That lower level serves as a maintenance area, storing cars on an easy angle for access. Here, the curved glass facade follows the turning radius of the cars during the 1930s. The upper volume is a living quarters that is private, yet the contrast of glass and play between open spaces creates a sense of communal living. While the space still offers privacy, the visitor is led out to an open outdoor terrace. This space is separated by a sliding glass door. Additionally, Le Corbusier was successful at creating spaces that could interact with the environment and still be functional. This is especially apparent in the bathrooms and outdoor terrace areas.

EXTRUSION OF MATRIX STUDY
Chosen 9 Square Grid Iteration to develop model.
“L” shape corridors promote movement within matrix. Considering the architectural analysis of the two buildings, the 9 square grid organization extracts elements to develop spatialization. By extruding the matrix upward, an experience within the space is created.

CIRCULATION
FUNCTION THE CLIENTS This Un-House is inhabited by a private and prestigous family of four. The parents are invested in their stem careers with two young adult children who are focused on their studies. When the family is not traveling, they appreciate an intriguing living space that encourages movement through the striations of sunlight, following an L shape corridor for each floor. The delicate pockets of sunlight found in the corridors contrast the private, enclosed spaces. This quality creates curiosity throughout the matrix.
