DESIGN PROBLEM
The design problem is to conceptualize and create an architectural structure using transformation
methods namely addition, subtraction, and modifiers to reform a basic form of an 8 cm cube,
made of clay.

DESIGN SOLUTION
 DESIGN CONCEPT
This Architectural structure is inspired by the Villa M, in Grunewald, Berlin, Germany by Grafts,
an architectural firm. A private home in Berlin’s venerable Grunewald quarter presents a
striking, modern interpretation of comfortable living in the city. It’s trapezoidal, sculptural form
and modern architectural language symbolizes a boulder in a glacial landscape and differentiates
it from its neighbors. The distinctive, three-dimensional figure of the four-storey building
appears to rise out of the ground. For its design, GRAFT abstracted the classical rules of villa
design and digitally synthesized them with natural phenomena shifting the tectonics of a villa
towards those of a sculpture.
