Project
AP143.S4.D12
Description:
This project series documents House IV, an unexecuted project designed for unknown clients in Falls Village, Connecticut. Materials in this file were produced in 1970 and 1971. Documents include fifty-eight conceptual drawings (files: DR1994:0132:001-058) and presentation plans that show the internal organization of the house. Although never realized, House IV was extensively published, particularly as a series of axonometrics showing the transformations of the original cube. Some of the files documenting this are a set of axonometric drawings (DR1994:0132:120-184) and copies mounted on board (DR1994:0132:185-198). Other files, including files of photographic materials, document the layout of these drawings for publication. Also included are studies for exterior and interior elevations and silhouettes painted on mylar (DR1994:0132:214-230). Conceptual drawings and design development drawings include plans, elevations, and axonometrics. Presentation/publication drawings also include plans, elevations, sections, and axonometrics. Also included in this project series is a completed model.
