addition to the perfect home

part 2 of the precedents in architecture project has been assigned and it is going to be really fun! i am to create an architectural program for a 3 room addition to the house. as simple as this sounds there is one challenge i will face: changing a design of frank lloyd wright. we are able to create whatever 3 rooms we would like and the square footage will be somewhere around 500 feet as the rooms are not to be too elaborate.

somehow i will need to create an addition that will make an impact on the house but be cohesive to the original design principles at the same time. trying to fix a design flaw of frank lloyd wright's is like trying to tell john mayer how to play the guitar. its going to be a difficult task but im feeling up to the challenge and i really wanna knock this design out of the park. especially since my presentation for the analysis of the house did not go so well. my drawings were too small and there was "too much information on the board." im going to redo the board for the very final presentation and make it visually appealing to compliment the amount of research and analysis i put into the first part of the project.

stay tuned for updates on this part and feel free to give me ideas of what i could do. where could i put the rooms? what kind of rooms should i add? how can i make a strong impact while staying in tune with the original buildings design? this part is due next wednesday so im going to start cracking down on it!
