I studied Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe for its minimalist approach in three respects:

• Simple post-and-beam structure
• Use of neutral, subdued materials (eg. Mies's signature travertine)
• Emphasis on the surrounding landscape

These explorations were done by hand-drawn collage of orthographics and oblique views, as well as a partial replica model down to the construction of the roof and window frame system.
