Gehry's house is a renovated one which rebuilt in 1978. Centrally the house is consist of two part which the old one is the original bugalow and the new one is other extension around the house.
The house is made for people moving through it and living inside. Ghery uses circulating paths through space to creat ares of rest and movement within or through space.
The transition from semi-private to private spaces is apparent with circulation paths terminating in a space. He is also handeled with the utilization of stairs to upper private spaces.Stairs are to be used for separating the new and old space. The transition maintains its spatial relation to one another with the rare plane staying below the line of sight.
The original structure is conventional framed two-storey bungalow. Some interiors finished have been stripped back to reveal the structural support element within the residence. The bearing wall of interior and exterior are stud framed supporting beams, joists and rafters. The enclosure was built of most mundane materials, corrugated aluminum metal siding,plywood,glass and fencing.The rough materials they used also honestly reflcet the limited budget.
The house relates with its surrounding elements in unique ways. An opening in east wing wall produces a direct view of a large cactus. The sight angle of dinning room window allows it to be perpendicular to the street light that across the road.
Model Making Process and Finish
The model we made that we have considered the materials this house use, so we decide to use screen board and cupboard for its basic element. The 1:100 scale model is extremely small that it is very hard to cut the small stuffs. Because we use laser cut for the curve, so we have to spray the whole model.
we made it in half so it can be taken as sectional model which can clearly be seen the internal.
