Typological Transformation of The Azuma House
Category: Residential Architecture
This project was the final of a second-year architectural analysis course. Each student was assigned a precedent and tasked with identifying and transforming their precedents typology. The typology of the precedent was a Linear Block with a courtyard. The transformations resulted in a L-Shaped block with two courtyards at the ends of the transformed model.

Typological Transformation Process
The drawings show how the original linear block typology with a center courtyard was transformed into an L-shaped block with two end courtyards that expose different levels of the house.
