EXOGRAM HOUSES
A tool of formal and significant generation
With Exogram Houses 1 and 2 , Joseph di Pasquale proves that it ’ s possible to put creative intelligence inside all projects , by democratizing the concept of architecture , which can be applied not only to large buildings , but also to private residential spaces , in line with a long tradition of important projects for single houses , which have always been an important focus in the history of architecture .
In the projects called Exogram Houses 1 and 2 , the architect Joseph di Pasquale combined the use of 3D modeler and freehand drawing on the screen , to obtain the " genetic sketch " where for the very first time the exogram image appeared , as a “ still image ” of a set of architectural elements in dynamic relationship among them .
“ We work on the concept of Exogram ” - explains Joseph di Pasquale . “ The Exogram is basically a tool for interpreting the symbolic power of architectural figuration and making it clear in the design process ; it is a question of identifying a three-dimensional structure that becomes the identity essence of the building . Therefore , the Exogram is the architectural logo , in a broad and historically understood sense , which makes the building recognizable , a " core " inside and around which the " filling volumes " develop , providing the space to accommodate all the functions in which the architecture is built on ”.
In 2015 , in the province of Milan , the " genetic sketch " technique found application in the Exogram House n . 1 . In this first declination of the concept of Exogram on the theme of the single-family house , a common roof has been divided in two parts which correspond to the parents ' house and the daughter ’ s house .
