I've analyzed many houses before this project, but I did them all for different areas. This time, I need to analyze a structure in all its aspects. Actually, this isn't different from the others, but applying all the analyses can sometimes be challenging. Gwathmey Residence is a completely wooden structure. That means its internal frame is also wooden, and everything rests on this wooden frame. The overall strategy of the structure is plug-in and subtraction. Subtraction comes from the fact that it looks like one cube has been extracted from another large cube. Plug-in refers to the circulation elements being attached to this cube in a cylindrical shape. Wood facilitates the formation of these cylindrical shapes because it's a flexible material. This structural system, which is in the form of an 8x9 grid, connects everything together.
