Diagramming Architectural Principles
In this group assignment, we were assigned to a house and was required to have a detail study on it. The assigned house for our group was W-house by Uchida Architects, located in Oita, Japan. We were required to study on its principle, design intention and the design elements used that relates to the context and intention. After analyzing the information, we were required to produce 5 diagrams along with 5 models, basic drawings such as plan, section and elevation.
