Assignment: "Look at the aesthetic qualities that best exemplify the transportation of the unknown and look to the resulting spaces practically. All this within the given locations the houses already posses. Thus, we assume that the site is already implicit in the objecthood of the house. On the contrary, size and functions do not necessarily need to resemble the currently built representation of the houses. These features, instead of being external impositions, are conditions that emanate from the project itself. Lastly, produce the specialization of the unfolded variant and its arrangement into a coherent architectural piece that is also capable of infusing curiosity and mystery through its formal excessive expression."
A formal case study of the Farnsworth House by Mies Van Der Rohe led to this final reimagined Farnsworth where each iconic furniture piece, viewed as sculpture, becomes a space of program creating an enclosure of connective lines which also provided a view of the outside through peeking between them.
