Design II instructed by Guido Zuliani, Dorit Aviv, and Matt Roman
Ernst Neufert's Architects' Data is a precursor to today's graphic standards. It asserts an organizational concept of the single-family home of 1936, one which adheres to the lifestyle of the era, but has because antiquated due to our new methods of living.
No one house is a project in which Neufert's diagrams are analyzed, deconstructed, and transformed to create a model of living for the 21st century. One in which spaces are smaller, people do not live amongst relatives, and the digital device provides means of entertainment and privacy (or, publicity) which is unprecedented.
Beginning with a series of "hybrid programs," a collision of previously separate entities are combined. This leads to a sort of villa, a conglomerate of these hybrid programs and one in which open and communal spaces take priority over tucked-away private spaces.
Formally, a vocabulary begins to take shape. Programs are assigned form via usage, they are linear or concentric. Concentric programs reveal an intra or interpersonal spaces. The linear notates a process, or simply a program which has become obsolete (and can be tucked into a wall).
