| description | Abstract This study investigates the type and transformation of spatial composition in Craig Ellwood's residential buildings and focuses on the material and modular systems. Herein, 28 works and structures, primary exterior finishing materials, primary interior finishing materials, and modular systems on both plan and section are analyzed. This analysis derived the following points: when standardization of construction paved the way for uniform spaces in the 1950s, Ellwood countered this trend by spatially arranging the materials with texture in one modular system and controlling them with the exposed beams. Through this approach, he created an architecture that gave rhythm to the space. In the 1960s, Ellwood used various column spans, defining the appearance of buildings by exposing beams and columns on the outside and creating compositions that gave rhythm to the outside. |
