Project Two: Window Placement Analysis and their Raumplan influences

My overall aim for this analysis was to:

a) investigate how Adolf Loos' use of different levels and the Raumplan has influenced his placement of the buildings exterior windows

b) What types of sunlight enter the building at different periods in the day.

c) A physical light analysis of how light enters and exits the building using a model to analyse what inhabitants would experience in real life.

Figure 2: An analysis of how light exits the buildings windows using the physical model of the villa muller.

Figure 3: CAD interpretation of the different placements of windows within the NESW elevations of the Villa Muller, showing how Loos' Raumplan has influenced their placements and what light intensities these windows experience during different periods of the day.

Figure 4: Physical interpretation of the different window placements within the NESW elevations of the Villa Muller, where placing light in front of and behind the elevations can show how the light intensity enters and exits the building.
