CONTEXTUAL FIT
In this project we were asked to design an addition to the Smith House designed in 1965 by architect Richard Meier. The additional design needs to show that we analyzed the patterns and systems the architect Richard Meier used while incorporating new ideas to help create unity between the old design and the new one.
