AP206.S1.1972.PR02
Description:
This project series documents a house in Jammu, India around 1972. The project consisted of a two-storey, five bedroom home with a tower for water tanks. The porch at the home's entrance separated the main house from a round office volume. The home's exterior featured several curved walls, patterned with rubble, some of which curled into the house's interior. The project is recorded through working drawings of plans, elevations and sections, likely dating from around 1972. The titling on the drawings implies that the home was designed for a specific client, but the titles were left incomplete.
