Model Pictures:

Below are a selected few pictures of about 400 of our final model, using different lighting techniques to try and give varying effects. We sectioned our model length ways, showing the light half as opposed to the massive dark half:

Poche- Corridor

Below are the Parti's for my interpretation of the dual corridor present in Villa Venturi. On the ground floor we see a distinct corridor at the entrance area and another on past the chimney around the ground floor entries to the living quarters. In essence these corridors sandwich the chimney heightening its strength. This 'sandwiching' is taken a step further on the second floor, the corridor literally wraps around the chimney heightening further its importance and its structural mass. The third picture shows the relation of the two floors and the stair corridor.

Parti

Here are my Parti's for the courtyard that is shown on each floor of the building. The courtyard is not literal in the sense, but on each floor it is a centralised room of open space and light that is the main living area. Most circulation is also in these rooms and they are the main living areas (bedroom 1f, living room gf) so i interpreted these rooms as internal courtyards. There relation to one another is shown in the section, they draw the house from the chimney and create an open closed relation between the courtyard, the chimney; and the corridors that envelop the chimney. These relations create differing senses of privacy and publicity throughout the house at every cornice.

Poche

Here are the Poche's for my house, the Villa Venturi. The house lies on a flat site and thus light is recieved at a similar level throughout. The house is split distinctly into a light/dark contrast from the southern half to the northern half. This is split using a chimney. The envelope around the chimney is encased in light due to the ample use of skylights and large windows in unusual places. These unusual placements help to give the occupant a sense of space as well as light.
Each room has its own sense of light and uses large windows to give a sense of openness, such as the ground floor kitchen.
