The concept of my building that I am concentrating on is Transparency, The building I modelled is the Lange Haus, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and the second building I am using to aid my concept of transparency is the Farnsworth House, also by Mies van der Rohe.
All of the exterior walls in the Farnsworth House are made of transparent glass, with only a few structural poles to support the roof. There are only a few interior walls, and none of them extend to the exterior walls of the building.
To show this concept of transparency in my model of the Lange Haus, I am changing the sizes of the windows on the ground and first floor of the building. The windows will start from the floor and end on the ceiling, going the whole length from wall to wall. This is displayed in the Farnsworth House by the frame of the window being sunk into the floor and ceiling.
I will also change some of the walls inside the house so that they are either made of glass or no longer touch the exterior walls.
