11 URBAN HOUSE FOR AN ARTIST<br />

More info<br />

For this project I chose an artist and based on that artist’s work<br />

designed a house for the artist. This made for quite a challenge,<br />

because it is difficult to turn a two dimensional work of art into a<br />

three dimensional building design. The concept for this project<br />

was based on the work of Piet Mondrian. There are three unifying<br />

elements recognized in the work of Piet Mondrian. The black<br />

lines, seem to guide us across the paintings like paths; the light<br />

areas which appear to be open space;and the colored areas which<br />

appear to be closed space. When translated into architecture it<br />

became obvious that the design of this building should focus<br />

heavily on paths and open space leaving only few closed spaces<br />

throughout the house.
