Abstract

The Braxton-Shore house has been considered as an exemplar of 'space architecture' – an architecture of 'space forms' which R. M. Schindler believed distinguished his work from contemporary functionalists and internationalists. To achieve such' space architecture', Schindler utilized a proportional system of a space reference frame as a mental tool. This paper first outlines the spatial scheme of the Braxton-Shore house, explains Schindler's space reference frame, and finally interprets the proportional design of the house in analogy with the 'row' system, the Fibonacci and Lucas sequence, and musical ratios.
