Project 01: Modernism Architecture and Design

---

Modernism is consisted of creative and inspiring ideas that make the structures unique. many architects including Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings that are very famous and well known for its characteristics such as curvy walls, large windows and skylights​​




see my Modernism timeline here





​my drawing is based on the historic era modernism because of the skyscrapers as the base of the picture and cubic outlines as different characteristics of modernism including quotes, architecture school Bauhaus, and different buildings that were constructed by famous modern architects. 










This particular building is a skyscraper known as the Seagram Building. The picture shows the general floor plan of the structure and the different colored sections represents the the different parts.



















My one floor house design contains many unique features and characteristics to it including the big windows, big doors, skylights, and the waterfall coming from the roof of the house into the pool in the back. the house strongly relates to the modernism era because of its one of a kind designs and curves to the walls that it produces and the many windows that my structure contains.











my first floor contains 3 sections being the bathroom, living room, and kitchen. the bathroom has a full bath, toilet and sink with a unique corner window design for proper lighting. the living room is the biggest section in the house with a giant window taking up most of the exterior wall. the last section is a relatively small kitchen which maximizes space by containing an eating area within the room to be the dinning room. 





my second floor is consisted of 2 queen beds with a ladder leading up to it. the area is used to sleep and extra room for perhaps storage or entertainment purposes and a walkway connecting the 2 beds. this floor gives the 1st floor an open look by not having the whole floor closed and having railing for safety.










this design has a bid window looking into the living room and 2 horizontal windows up top to let in light in the loft area on the 2nd floor.













this side shows one angle of the corner window located in the bathroom and shows one side of the unique slanted roof.











the front of the house has a window design in front of the walkway on the second floor. this side also contains the other angle of the bathroom corner window and the skylight on the roof.

the final elevation shows the other side of the roof, and the long horizontal window in the upper left side in the kitchen.
