Modern Cubist House

100 comments
A brief introduction to Cubism:

Cubism was born at the beginning of the 20th century with the painters Pablo Picasso and George Braque and soon spread to architecture with figures such as Janak, Hofman, Chocol, and many other important people.

While in painting it consists of recognizing the two-dimensional nature of the canvas in order not to create three-dimensionality, in architecture it is different, since the elements are not placed on a canvas but on a three-dimensional reality.


The model:

-The cube as a hallmark of the artistic movement.

-On a 32x32 baseplate, a modern cubist house with 3 stories is built, with a roof terrace, swimming pool, garage and garden areas.

- The elements that shape the building are irregular cubes, both in tiles and bricks the cubic form is sought.

-Within the cubist “logic”, if an element stands out, supports are avoided, giving play to gravity and the difficulty of construction.

- To break the monotony of the white, a dark b. grey imitation of the slate is added (the hallmark of the new cubist architects), also in black in the profiles of windows, doors, and balconies.

-The gardening covers part of the elements giving life and color to the model in its appearance.

-Despite the minimalism typical of cubism, the rooms have medium nougat tones to give greater warmth and a cozy appearance.

-To enjoy the interior and be able to play, each floor has been made modular.

-There is a lot of use of the 5:2 rule (SNOT) and most of the studs of the model have been covered with tiles.

In this last aspect lies the greatest difficulty of the model, distributing the loads and hiding the joining lines between floors so that it looks like a single element and thus not affect the general aesthetics.

My 3 random characters for this story are: An architect, an astronomer and a technology-loving teenager.

I think it would be a good purchase for lovers of cubism, modern architecture, modular buildings, architecture teachers, decorators, collectors and LEGO fans in general.

I hope you like my proposal
Thank you very much.
