Project 1: Bordeaux Maison part a

For part a, I chose the part cut through the elevator and looking toward the bookshelves.

The reasons I chose this part for presenting the whole house is that it showcases some of the main aspects of the house. It shows the elevator-"the heart" of the house with its massive translucent bookshelves. This space through 3 levels is the main domain of the man in wheelchair, for whom the house is made for. This part shows part of the unconventional structure: the L-shape structure leaning on the I column on one end supports the heavy box on top. The part includes two separate circulations: the elevator for the man and the staircase for his wife. This present the circulation strategy of the house, in which every type of occupants has their own circulation path.
