Design Final Presentations- Thursday June 13

Students will be exploring architectural design through the aesthetics of Frank Lloyd Wright's work.  Review the book, Frank Lloyd Wright A Gatefold Portfolio and focus on the homes he built.  

You are being given an unlimited budget to create a home in South Deerfield utilizing the qualities of FLW's work.  Create a general floorplan on 9 x 12 white paper using a ruler and any other technical tools necessary to create a clean general idea of the interior space. (examples below)

Using two point perspective, create a full color rendering of the outside.  The finished product can be colored with either copics, watercolor or mixed media.

Part 2: Write a 2 page double spaced, 12 point font paper with an additional works cited page describing to your client 12 different ways that you have incorporated elements of FLW's work into their home.  Choose specifics, not opinions, but factual elements and the way they are utilized in his spaces.  An example would be the placement of a fireplace which could be in the center of the house, symbolizing warmth and the heart of the space.
Please be on time (not two seconds after the bell, two minutes, two hours...) and ready to present when the bell rings.  Have papers printed ahead of time, not last minute in the LMC.  No late work or emailed papers will be accepted.  Know your subject as you will be asked questions regarding your justification for your design choices which will impact your grade.
