Description

The main object of this study is to clarify one of the morphological character of Mckim, Mead & White's works through the analysis on the plan of the Villard Houses in comparison with Low Library we have already analyzed. The following results are made clear. The configuration of the plan is designed by overlapping a double square and a Greek cross. 6 kinds of squares which are composed on a simple proportion can be found as datum line in deciding the shape of the central court and boudary walls between residential units. The walls in each house are designed based on combination of grid and square. This compositional principle is also reflected on facede.
