Lost_First_Year Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey guys, Im a first year Architecture student studying in australia and was wondering if you know any good websites which could tell me the structural dimensions of Mies Van Der Rohe's Farnsworth house. I need this for my design technology project which requires me to draw an axonometric projection of the house's structure. I've tried everywhere but all i could get were plans of the house. I have no luck on finding sections or elevations with readable measurements. Your help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanx Justin (University of Canberra, Australia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 There is an excellent book that is completely about the farnsworth house...including scans of the orignial drawings. So check your library. Alternatively, greatbuildingsonline.com has some info. I'll try to check my info when I get home this evening for soem measurements. I know its a very simple geometric breakdown.

Jim Mann Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 There is a book on the Farnsworth House with all the drawings in. Its one of the "posh" Japanese journals (either GA Document or U+A?...can't remember) Me and a freind built a card model and 1:1 construction details using it although I have to confess that was back in 1990 so you may have a long, expensive search. Scour your library and you might get lucky. Good luck. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
