Ideomodel of House VI: e Joint REINTERPRETING ARCHITECTURES Tutors: Monia De Marchi & Maria S. Giudici Student: Dominika Demlova Building: House VI by Peter Eisenman
House VI represents Eisenman’s quest to find autonomous architecture that is liberated from function and context. e form is favored over function and everything evolves from this characteristic, making the awareness of surrounding architecture an ever-present quality. e building exists as an object as it barely touches ground. It does not relate to the topology of the site either. e relationship of the house and its context is extremely unique. To emphasize the autonomy of the building I focused on the areas of both horizontal and vertical separations of the building and the ground around and underneath the structure as well as the relation to the closest object on the site, the driveway. To stress the joint relation, my ideomodel is concerned with the structure from the ground floor down to the basement. is excludes the bottom layer of ground, creating a void through the model, and wall segments referring to the higher vertical relations of the building. e model is situated on a large base at an angle true to the orientation of the building on site. e distant driveway is the only reference to the context of the house within the surrounding area, which otherwise does not change in topography. At last, I chose monochrome colours to embrace my understanding of the building and its unique qualities that are reflected in my ideomodel: autonomy and form.
