11. As an extension to the precedent study, the challenge was to design an addition to the existing building (the VannaVenturi House) that utilized the same design concepts as applied by the original architect (Robert Venturi). I accomplished this with the use of ribbon windows, various arch designs and overall sense of space. ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS: PRECEDENT STUDY ADDITION
