For the final project for Vertical Studio this semester, students were asked to design an addition to a contemporary house chosen from a group of five published houses: one by Schwarz/Silver in New York, one by Edward Ford in Virginia, one by Denison/Luchini in Michigan, one by Steven Erlich in California, and one by Olson/Sundberg/Kundig in Washington. Each addition had a different program provided by the instructor. The idea was to bring what students had learned about geometry and proportion, reproduction with variation and selection, growth and transformation, and the relationships of objects and spaces, to considerations of style, practicality, and delight in real architecture.
