HI THERE!! You did an awesome job on building the model!! My team and I are going to build this model in 3D.. but I was wondering where you got all the measurements from? and if you still have them??... I don't know how else to contact you.. :(
Thanks for the compliment. Are you a UNSW student? It's a tough but fun model to build. I found basic and necessary dimensions online at http://architypes.net/files/image/cache/villa-savoye-dimensions.jpg I also found books with floor plans of villa savoye, which I can't think of now, but they're easy to find. The easiest way is to basically enlarge the plans to a scale and measure off that. I'd suggest building it out of 2-3mm screenboard, with the columns 5mm balsa cylinders painted white. With 5 people it would take about 2 weeks to build. Good luck
wow you reply so fast!! THANKS!! I go to SFU in Vancouver Canada :D it's for this spatial design course I'm taking.. :) my team and I did very bad on the model so I want to do well on my 3D modeling.. I've found those measurements too but now having trouble with getting the measurements of the pilotis & the size of the windows/curvs... =( guess we'll have to go to the library & find some useful books cuz what we've found from before didn't really help much.. :( but your model.. ahhhh awesome too awesome =(

wow! ive been to vancouver! for a few hours...
yes i check my emails a little too regularly.
im a 2nd yr architect student in sydney. how did you come across the blog?
when you say 3D modelling, do you mean physical hand built or computerised?
did you see all the photos of the final model, ie not just the ground floor? click on july i think to see all the pics.
for the windows, just look at photos and estimate their size, knowing the height of each floor.
that curved glazing on the ground floor with the mullions took me about 4 hours alone!
what exactly does the project ask you to do?
sorry, its april, click on april
