yes, a nice and simple project......although every one of Studio 804's projects looks like a Dan Rockhill house; which begs the question: "does he treat the studio simply as free labor for his own designs?"
I don't think that's fair, mnesikles. the rural studio projects all had, in the sambo days, a common language, if you will. i'm sure rockhill plays a huge role, but it must still be a unique learning experience.
For an upcoming article I interviewed Rockhill, and he played down his role in Studio 804's design. It should be noted that the studio works together to develop the project over the course of about a year, and it's a collaborative effort in all aspects.
Also, I don't really think 804's Modular House resembles a Rockhill house. This design is aethetically simple while Rockhill's houses tend to be a bit quirky and like a contemporary update of Kansas, industrial vernacular. Similarities may have existed in the past, but here there's a definite lack of resemblence.
maybe you're both right.....perhaps i have just become too cynical of teacher/student relationships and their results.
and to be fair, archidose, you are correct...the form of the buildings are not as similar to his work as some of the previous projects have been, but they definitely bear his influence in the interiors/detailing (again, maybe this is okay....i guess i'm too jaded)
either way, they are nice projects in their own right.
