courtyard house concept development
this arizona house is organized around a central 2' thick masonry wall.
concept idea
the idea of exploring a central massive and porous stone masonry wall occured to me while photographing my niece outside
this Jamestown RI house.
trace paper, pen and ink
an inital and rather trivial gesture was laid out north/south, before introducing the diagonal.
trace, cont.
a more massive and angled central wall is introduced; the combination of these two drawings would become the fundamental central
gesture.
