The
The project done by our group during last three weeks is named Rudin House. The designers are Herzog & De Meuron. They won the Pritzker in 2001 and they are good at using single material to achieve unusual effects. Like this house, it is made of concrete and there are no ornaments on the external walls. It looks quite simple, just like a big stone lying at the foot of a hill.
This house is stand on three columns and some walls. There is a thick platform between the house’s body and the columns. On one side of the platform is a water pool, like the model’s picture show. We can see the sky, the sun from the water. In addition, the water pool has another function - it can collect the rain water which is transmitted by the gutter on the roof. 
The staircase between first level and second is very amazing. We made the model of this part(left picture), it is very narrow and this space is directly to the roof with no floors. A window on the roof provides sunlight for the stairs. At the end of this staircase is three rooms, two bedrooms and a big shower room, they are very harmonious. Assuming a visitor walking on the severe stairway and suddenly he gets into the harmonious bedroom, he must feel very impressive.
This project is teamwork, we have faced many difficulties in this project, and this is a start, we are ready for the next….
