Three Houses

Barcelona Pavilion


 The Pavilion is made of rectangular sets of concrete. They are supported by vertical walls. Other materials include glass, travertine, marble, onyx and steel. The steel may bend and rust after 100 yrs and some of the stones may only have traces of moss as they can survive a long time.

 

Rudin House


The structural design is similar to a normal house except for the platform its placed on. The structure seems to be held up by the four columns. The House is predominately made of concrete. The concrete would start to crack but may hold some stability, the glass would shatter and the supports would give way meaning the whole structure could fall on its side.
 

House at Bordeaux


Materials include glass, cement and aluminum.
The design is supported using columns as well as cement walling both internally and externally.
The aluminium would rust as decay set in as well as the columns crumbling and glass cracking.
