1. Review the book/pdf "Raumplan vs Plan Libre" and choose a precedent residence from either Adolf Loos or Le Corbusier and create a model of it using 3dsMax.

To do this you will need to complete the following tutorials:

All tasks must be completed by the beginning of next week's tutorial. All task requirements contribute to your final blog grade.

1. Complete the full set of tutorials above and finish the building of your precedent model by the beginning of week 10. Take special care not to add unnecessary detail with geometry; in other words use texture application to replicate detail at fine scale.
