Katelyn 10/12 Shotgun and Tenement Housing Progress
For this initial stage, I started by finding examples of both shotgun and tenement housing floor plans and tracing them in rhino. Then, using the concept of transformations from the Eisenman readings and the ideas of collage from Collage City, I manipulated the floor plans in various ways and then montaged them on top of each other. I have made multiple versions for both my shotgun and tenement houses. I am struggling with the best way to extrude the plans into 3D (I have some examples of what I have tried so far at the bottom).
The elements of collage city which I are present in my designs include: coincidental connection of paths and abrupt end of axis lines, amalgamation of architectural objects, and nonconforming edges.
