Comparing Eames House And Koshino House
My presentation is about 2 residential buildings: Eames House and Koshino House. The earlier building is called the Eames House which was created by husband and wife, Charles and Ray Eames. The other construction was designed by Tadao Ando and it is named the Koshino House.
Charles Eames was born in 1907 in St. Louis, Missouri, which if you don't know is located in America. In 1941 Charles married Ray. As a couple, they both designed furniture, buildings, and other objects. In fact, during World war II they designed stretchers, experimental gliders, shells and other equipment for the US Navy.
After the war in 1945, they went on to design their home. They ordered the materials later that year. However, due to war shortages, the materials …show more content…

They both have 2 parallel structures with a courtyard in-between them. However, Koshino House is connected by an underground passageway. The Eames house has separate wings because they wanted an area as their home and a separate space as their workplace. The Koshino house is only a home, however, within the home, there are separate areas.
They both have high ceilings which are used to set the tone. Both houses were designed with an awareness of nature, but they have very different atmospheres. The Koshino house is structured like a Japanese garden whereas the Eames House is like an art gallery where the art is the view from the window which is a meadow. In concussion to this thought, I think that the Koshino house better fits in with the landscape than the Eames house, but the Eames house maybe more about bringing the real of being outside
