Fisher House by Louis Kahn 1:200

This model of the Fisher House is at a 1:200 scale. This scale allows details of the landscape to be viewed in conjunction with a simplistic model of the house. 




The trees, contour lines and house are of equal importance to the model. Therefore I have used Balsa wood throughout to give consistency and avoid emphasising a particular feature of the model.
Frosted, perspex windows are used to show how the building interacts with its natural environment. Unlike the balsa wood, they do not create a barrier between the inside of the house and the environment. I have frosted the windows (with sandpaper) so that its context remains the focus of this landscape model.
