la maison de verre // hand draft project first year studio [graphite drawing on 24 x 36 stonehenge paper]

a huge miestake first year studio [partners: james gililand, abhinav jain, david knaide] crown hall, IIT campus, mies van der rohe [woodworking +plastic molding + rhino3d + photoshop + illustrator]
an austere perspective on mies van der rohe’s crown hall, understanding the vertical / horizontal planes meeting as a collision.
intervention of the strict horizontal and vertical planes of mies, decoding the horizontal planes of the floor and entrance meeting the vast vertical glass facade of crown hall as a collision of planes, hence the “broken� facade. the frosted treatment, designed with the fibonacci sequence, is a matter of privacy, where the glass is clearer near the entrance and lower levels, and more opaque throughout the building to offer privacy to the students within the building.
