Research Analysis before week 1
I've managed to read a few articles written about the Bordeaux House and I thought I find it interesting. The building is designed as a response to Le Corbusier's statement that says that the house is a machine for the living. Rem Koolhaas mentions that the machine is at the heart of the building. And the most obvious machine in the house is the elevator.
The elevator is more than just a way to get the disabled father across to each room but instead is a space. The presence of the elevator changes the plan and thus the elevator becomes the 'heart of the house'. The presence of the elevator affects the plan.
