Final project
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The project is a reinterpretation of the current Loggia, designed by Andrea Palladio, surrounding a gothic Basilica, situated at the Palazzo del Signori in Vicenza, Italy. The formal language of the new façade design is inspired by both gothic architecture and byzantine art, and created by the manipulation of lines.
The formal line work is generated in 3d software and translated into architectural elements, using extrusion, blending, lofting and weaving. Unlike Palladio’s Loggia did, this reinterpretation is trying to blend the new interior to the reinterpretation of the loggia by the line based design, resulting in a fluent movement connecting both interior and exterior.
