project two: 'program +'

Villa Müller

architectural strategies that will be studied with relationship to program:

  1. sequence of spaces; theatricality of building program
  2. circulation - an integral aspect which enables the strict program
  3. Raumplan - articulation of spaces; separation of rooms/transparency of rooms according to functionality, reflection of vehicle for movement between rooms (stairs) in structural elements.
