FALLING WATER STRUCTURE
Materials and methods
COURSE: ARCH 243 | INSTRUCTOR: ERIC OLSEN | TEAM: VERONIA ALKOMOS, JOSE FERNANDEZ, DAVID MARTINEZ | FALL 2018 | WSOA
This course seeks to place the primary materials - wood, masonry, steel, concrete and glass - within the fundamental context of physical properties, historical evolution, structural behavior, sustainable design, contemporary
methods of construction and detailing, building envelope systems, and new and future products. The materials’ influence on design with respect to durability, building cost, lifecycle cost, and scheduling is evaluated.
In a group of four, Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright was chosen to focus on its details and materials used. The main goal was to learn how different materials work together to make extraordinary architecture.
We chose a part of the building to construct using similar materials and techniques used to build the actual building.
