Throughout this course, the studio investigated properties of the 1920s and 1930s Sears catalog homes and Architects’ Small House Service Bureau, first through modeling a home from the catalog plans, then by creating a collage plan using elements of select catalog homes. After creating numerous initial collages, one was selected to be refined to fit an ad-lib program - a house for three generations that can also function as an art gallery. Final renders and a physical model were created using the final refined collage.Â
