Week 3: Final major project

Subject Area: Architecture

Project Title: Residential area in Brutalist style

Project Objectives: For my architectural project I will design a small panel buildings consisting of 4 floors in the style of Soviet Brutalism. Apartments in this building will be affordable for any family. The design of this building will be without frills, minimalistic, which in general makes the purchase of apartment in this building quite acceptable. For this project I will create 2-4 architectural design boards and will include the concept and concept drawing . This project will be completed by the deadline at the beginning of December.

I will be researching the following designers / Architectures’: 

Le Corbusier, Paul Rudolph, Lina Bo Bardi, Moshe Sadie.

I will be using the following Digital Software:

SketchUp

Wix

Photoshop

Blogger

Research – What Research do you need?

3. Target audience 

The target audience may include architectural enthusiasts, lovers of modern and custom design, as well as those who apricate minimalism and raw, industrial elements in the interior. This buildings can attract people looking for unusual solutions for their homes and ready to experiment in design.
