SAN CARLO ALLE QUATTRO FONTANE
 (THE CHURCH OF SAINT CHARLES AT THE FOUR FOUNTAINS)

FRANCESCO BORROMINI

San
Carlo
Alle
Qua-ro
Fontane
Is
one
of
my
personal
favourite
buildings,
the
concave‐convex
 façade
undulates
in
a
non‐classical
way
that
makes
it
so
unlike
anything
of
its
Cme.
I
find
the
 internal
dome
an
incredible
feat
of
design
and
construcCon
for
the
Cme
in
which
it
was
built,
 1634.
The

Tall
Corinthian
columns
stand
on
plinths
and
bear
the
main
entablature.
Smaller
 columns
beside
the
larger
frame
other
intricate
architectural
details
such
as
the
various
sculptural
 elements.
This
building
is
a
key
example
in
the
history
of
Baroque
Architecture
and
Architectural
 history
as
a
whole.

THE WEISSENHOFF ESTATE MEIS
VAN
DER
ROHE
&
LE
CORBUSIER
 The
Weissenhoff
estate
was
built
for
the
Deutscher
WerkBund
in
1927
it
 included
21
buildings,
comprising
of
approximately
60
dwellings
 designed
by
17
European
architects
including
le
Corbusier,
Meis
Van
Der
 Rohe
and
Walter
Gropius
to
name
a
few.
 The
21
buildings
varied
slightly
I
form
and
ranged
from
terraces
to
 apartments
although
they
all
stood
quite
consistent
in
design.
I
was
lucky
 enough
to
visit
the
buildings
that
sCll
stand
earlier
this
year
and
it
was
 clear
to
see
that
the
concept
of
form
following
funcCon
was
key
in
these
 designs.
In
the
Le
Corbusier
Museum
the
use
of
space
was
quite
well
 thought
out
and
the
use
of
inbuilt
furniture
was
very
clever
and
well
 designed.

HERRING ISLAND DISCOVERY CENTRE ADS1:EARTH
BY
JULIA
KOUTROULIS

This
is
my
design
for
an
informaCon/ discovery
centre
on
Herring
island,
 designed
during
my
First
Semester
of
 Second
year
in
Architectural
Design
Studio
 1:
Earth.
This
project
was
given
specific
 requirements
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
 space
that
could
be
used
and
the
 funcCons
of
those
spaces.

We
were
given
quite
a
lot
of
creaCve
freedom
when
designing
and
I
was
able
to
expand
 my
ideas
using
digital
soeware
to
create
a
building
in
the
shape
of
a
circle
essenCally.
I
 decided
to
begin
with
a
basic
piece
of
geometry
and
separate
it
in
order
to
fulfill
 separate
funcCons.
In
a
way
I
inversed
the
idea
of
form
following
funcCon
and
made
the
 funcCons
of
my
spaces
fit
the
form
I
had
decided
on.
 The
circular
design
fit
well
within
the
contours
of
the
site
and
the
use
of
green
 roofing
and
glass
over
masonry
provided
a
relaConship
between
interior
and
 exterior.
