Precedent Research - VM Houses












10/01/10

VM Houses / PLOT = BIG + JDS

The objective of the case research is to achieve comprehensive understandings of the precedent by investigating and reproducing the published drawings. The VM House designed by the Danish architect, BIG, is characterized by the diverse housing units all different from each other. A series of diagrams, plans and sections describes how unique individual units form a bigger aggregate of units and the skip-stop system borrowed from Le Corbusier’s Unite d’Habitation comes into a play to enable double story units and cross ventilation. My research also covers circulation, egress, structural and mechanical system for the basic understanding of residential projects.
