I don't like it.

I say that because I only understand your project from 3 images of a poorly crafted model. No description. No program. No context. No location/orientation.

Give us more and maybe it is a better project...

Or am I wrong in asking for more?

[digdoi]

Please also consider the including the following written information when you post -

Project - Competition- University - Grant - Etc.
Location - Area in the universe it happens to be located.
Type of Project - Transportation, Retail, Residential, Commercial, Etc.
Design Parameters - Competition write-up, Client Requirements Etc.
Design Approach - What you decided to do to resolve design (Your Proposal)
Drawings - Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Interior views if possible

Assume we know nothing about the project, and you need to convey us your intentions thru your posts.

Maybe Catdo can give you a little help? :wondering

I think you read too much of Coop Himmelblau's or Eisenman's book, hehe.
I've been there before. Simply is the best

Yeah Joel..."Less is more"... ;)
I think it's too much for a house

Reminds me of Frank's house in Santa Monica.

I don't agree that it is too much for the house , the problem is the two sections of the house are quite incongruous , the two parts do not make a whole . You have to decide if your design is something simple and classic or something whacky .

i don't know what is the concept and also the location .
i don't know what materials and it have many unnecessary details.
in my opinion that house is better with a big garden and thinking more about the materials and colors

Tips :

1. Tear down the existing part of the house, and completely start from scratch.
2. Explore modernism / contemporary tropical architecture and extend the house using the same principles that govern these languages of architecture.
3. As everyone else has said - there is too much disparity between both.

i think its a halfway decent model, could be much better but we need more info on the project like others have said and it looks like there is much disconnect between the old and new. explain your ideas/goals and program

okay, maybe I'm just in the mood to play devil's advocate, but:

I don't like it.

I'm not sure I think it's great, and yes, he should include programme, location, etc., but what in your opinion makes this a 'poorly' crafted model?

Yeah Joel..."Less is more"... ;)

I generally agree with this notion, but sometimes "more is more", no? - maybe you've heard of Frank Gehry or seen some of his work, catdo?

Tips :

1. Tear down the existing part of the house, and completely start from scratch.
2. Explore modernism / contemporary tropical architecture and extend the house using the same principles that govern these languages of architecture.
3. As everyone else has said - there is too much disparity between both.

You're saying that there's too much disparity between the two parts of the house, and yet you're encouraging him to look at modernism and contemporary tropical architecture - wouldn't you agree there's a huge disparity between these also?

And why is starting from scratch the answer? I don't think the answer is always in starting from tabla rasa... I'm certainly glad that one of my favorites, Carlo Scarpa, didn't follow that approach at Castelvecchio.
