Smith House, (1965) Richard Meier
An addition to an existing order,
"requires first that the ordering system of the prior or prototypical
model be perceived and understood so that, through a series of finite changes and
permutations, the original design concept can be clarified, strengthened, and
built upon, rather than destroyed."
Francis D.K. Ching,
Architecture: Form, Space & Order
In this project The Smith Family has commissioned you
to design an addition to their house on the shore of Long Island Sound. The
original house, designed in 1965 by architect Richard Meier, has been widely
published and is internationally known. Unfortunately, the Owners needs have
change since the original design, thereby warranting this architectural
intervention. The Owner specifically request that the integrity of the original
design be respected, yet the new addition should have its own presence.
