The objective of this project was to understand a building, both volumetrically and structurally. This was done through hand-drawn plans and building scale models. Farnsworth House is a minimalist residential building using industrial materials and the artist embodied a certain aesthetic peak, designed by Architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe in 1951. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of modern architecture. It is a one-room weekend retreat, located in Plano, Illinois, USA, in what then was a rural setting. Mies' buildings often emphasize their own singularity relative to their surroundings, putting themselves - and through their transparency, their inhabitants - on view.
