an interesting video on inspirational designs that are derived from nature. theoretical, research-based, and scientific: not for your everyday clients 
Montecito Residence
a little too extreme in the style i prefer in architecture, but i admire the integration of the site studies for the sake of disaster prevention. i also like the usage of the hallway to separate private space from public space.

these photos aren’t the ones i used for my project (source: google image). this was my very first project as a second year in GT CoA (cuz really, the first year doesn’t really count). my partner and i had to study the building–research, draft, diagram, render and make models. when we each found a theme of the building, we had to design a theoretical addition that could theoretically be built inside of/on top of/attached to the building. This house is called “Schröder Haus” by Gerrit Rietveld. It’s located in Utrecht, the Netherlands and it was built during the “De Stijl” movement. i spent countless hours building the model and because of it, i’m attached to this house and the style.
