architectural drawing (workshop 2)

rose seidler house

history.

Designed by Harry Seidler the Rose Seidler house, built between 1948 and 1950 demonstrates many of the early features of modernist architecture. The orthogonal nature of the design emphasised from its floor plan to its many windows has become one of the main distinguishing features of the house. However contextual and architectural influences can also be seen in the house. From the ramp and use of stone, Gropius and Breuer, to the mural on the patio wall influenced by the bright colours and murals seen similarly in Brazil at the time. The clever construction of these features and many more have characterised the house and granted it one of the first post-modernist houses in Australia.

the 3d image.
For the 3d image I wanted to draw, as a collage, all the section or parts of the house which I thought were its main features or which I liked best. This included the fireplace, natural flora surrounding the house etc. In terms of medium, unlike most architectural assignments, I wanted to make a bold statement with colour. I wanted the 3d drawing to stand out and provide a differing view compared to the black and white which dominated the rest of the assignment (and most other people's assignments)

the final product.
