The Final Johnson Wax Project.

For our final building project, we had to have a 6 minute powerpoint presentation discussing one thing that is not so easily explained. I chose to talk about the lighting and divided it into the innovative materials, the problems that came from that, and the aesthetic effects that came from the lighting itself. Here's a few screen shots from my power point explaining my presentation :).

Booklet!

These are some rough screenshots of my 4 spreads in our group booklet. We just recently got it mailed in and I'm really happy with the outcome! It was really cool to work with an actual bookmaking site, no matter how frustrating, and it was cool to work with indesign and see 5 different buildings come together cohesively.

Presenting to a Client.

Our last individual board for our specific buildings were geared more towards the client and how they would perceive a display. I chose to work with colored pencil with a watercolor wash. I have two interior perspectives, one exterior perspective, two floor plans, and one site plan. I decided to include more documentation than I ever have so I can highlight further on the building and its innovative history.

Diagramming the Johnson Wax.

This board shows different ways to view the Johnson Wax Building. Some in a more gestural form compared to others. Below are some models that correlate to the diagrams on the board.

Circulation to Use.

Building to Site.

Natural Light to Form and Space.

Structure to Enclosure.
Unit to Whole.
Material to Form.

The first of many...

This seems to be the first of many diagrams on the Johnson Wax Building by Frank Lloyd Wright. I'm interested to see how different diagrams can be and how much I can know about one specific building. I love Frank Lloyd Wright and all of his work, so I'm really looking forward to diving into one of his buildings that was more or less a failure in some ways.
