Project 1 - Exploration of Villa Muller (work in progress)

Final attempt - from all the examples i have seen and been taught, i believe this diagram explains the Villa Muller house best in terms of abstraction. It is simple yet eloquent, demonstrating the geometry of the Villa Muller house (separated into 3 main sections, dissecting it into 6 sections in total). as seen in the picture below, majority of plans contain a pattern of circulation where the person traverses through the building in through the centre of the building, with a spine-like fashion. The overly hatched part is the stairs of the house.

Week 4 attempts at parti diagrams. Observing the repetitive pattern of the circulation patter. Person travelling in a similar style down the centre of the house, all conjoined by the stair.


Week 4 attempts at parti diagrams. The stair acting like a spine, house becoming lighter and more open as the person treks through the house.



Week 4 attempts at parti and poche diagrams. Combining more then one parti idea in one plan was a mistake as it over complicates the parti. Geometry, enclosure and circulation are all demonstrated, which i think are the most important aspects of the Villa Muller house. Different poche techniques are also explored.


Week 3 attempts at parti diagrams. Exploring the stair as a central spinal significance in the house.


Week 3 attempts at parti diagrams. Looking at enclosure, circulation.

Week 2 attempts at parti diagrams.

Week 1 attempt of "poche" for the Villa Muller house.

- My personal understanding of what Poche and Parti means.
