Reading Response #02: Side-by-Side

-Lighter outline places focus on main living quarters

-The house is the main focus and little emphasis is placed on surrounding environment

-Dark poche makes living quarters of the house feel very heavy

-Poche makes pillars and columns stand out

-Grid gives plan sharp edges and linearity with exception of top left corner arc.

-Dark surrounding environment is a part of the plan

-Trees, bushes, terrace, driveway are much more a part of the plan

-House maintains dark poche but has less contrast from rest of plan. This limited contrast makes house feel lighter than in previous plan.

-Similar grid format to first plan. Maintains strict linearity.
