Project1-Gehry House

Frank Gehry, Santa Monica California, 1978

Start modelling after study the confusing plans and also reading about the house. We decide to have the section cut along the edge of the roof as this can clearly show the old house and the surrounding new area created by Gehry. Also people can experience the house by looking at the backyard place through the living room, and try to understand why he will remove the covering of walls, how light effect will that be from the old house, and also in the new area. This is the base of the model (the new area can be separated as we think its important to show how it was look like and what did Gehry do to modified it.)
the model is previously made in 1:100 scale, however after we move on to the stud wall and  frame of glazing at the back. We found out that in 1:100 it is hard to show the  details and the relationship between the interior and exterior, which is the key of this house. 

Redo the model in 1:50 with Foam
