Series
AP179.S1
Description:
Series 1, Casa La Roca, Caracas, Venezuela, 1995 – 2001, documents the development of a project (unrealized) for a residential home situated among the hills at the southern edge of Caracas. The majority of records were produced between 1995 and 1997. The series consists of sketches, drawings and reprographic copies for the conceptual and design development phases of the project, a wood model and model pieces, photographs of the site, and textual records including correspondence and zoning records. The series also contains an oversized banner printed with an image of the model that was featured in the Fabrications exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1998, as well as plans for the show. The digital material in this series consists of an animated rendering of the brick patio wall and photographs of the physical drawings and the model for Casa La Roca. The name of the project, Casa la Roca (in English, “the rock house”), is derived from a large mass of rock that occupies the back of the property. The design utilizes the presence of the rock, in combination with sliding glass doors and windows, to create an “outdoor room” that functions both as a living space and back yard. The design also incorporates the nature of the site through the use of materials such as terracotta block, brick, and tile.
