In a group of 5, we have been assigned a master architects & their masterpieces then to produce a complete set of architectural drawings (scale of 1:100) of the selected masterpiece on A3 size paper, eg. site plan & floor plans- sections & elevations- axonometric & perspective. We have to investigate and formulate your findings into a set of 10 analysis diagrams (onA3 size paper) and 10 diagrammatic models (8 x 8 x 8 cm). The analysis is based on organization of form, organization of space, circulation and paths, space relationship, spatial hierarchies, context, elements. The master architect that we have assigned is Frank Gehry- Gehry Residence.
