Modern houses that changed architecture.
The houses architecture students draw: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and Robie House, Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Villa Tugendhat, Philip Johnson’s Glass House and the Case Study houses of California. Each model shows how the building sits in its site from every side.
