Picking from a provided list of institution buildings,
I chose Paul Rudolph's 'Yale Art and Architecture building'.
AKA 'Rudolph Hall.'
I formal analysis was performed, and the building,
in its Brutalism style shows a few hints of anachronism.
-
Full resolution
-
The second step to this case study is comparison.
With the goal to understand the DNA of the building
and essentially its architect, a second building from the same
architect is chosen to analyse and compare with the first.
Common aspects and concepts are clarified, studied, and then
represented in a graphical form to emphasize.
-
-
The final step, further comparison with works from other architects.
Three more buildings were chosen to intensify the comparison and
further clarifying the aspects and narrow down some main concepts.
Buildings in this lase step have fewer resemblance and may contain
narrower similarities.
-
The Larkin Administration Building Is the direct inspiration of
Rudolph hall, in which main concepts of it are mimicked from this one,
such as the form, Brutalism style and the central atrium concept.
-
-
The Guggenheim building comprises of a central atrium as a void
in the building, proving visual access from every level.
-
-
The Ennis House Resembles Rudolph Hall in the aspect of
style and its aesthetics. Also, a central living space that is visually
accessible from surrounding parts of the house may be compared with
central atrium of Rudolph hall.
