Model in progress

Materials

For our materials, we had decided to build our model with similar materials to the actual house.
It is very organic, with an abundance of wood, and white walls.
For this we will be using:
Balsa wood
Foam Core
White cardboard
Carving knives
Scale ruler
Super glue

Villa Mairea

For our group assignment, we have decided to choose Villa Mairea by Alvar Alto.
Group members :
Benjamin Aquino
Jessica Morgan
Patricia Javier

We decided to choose the villa mairea because we liked its simple geometry, without realising how very detailed it really is.
Alvar Alto uses his skills to design a detailed and very beautiful house, which have natural sunlight flowing through each facade. Everything seems to connect perfectly.
