have any other designers tried a different focal point?
I wonder what a one bedroom apartment for instance might look like if it were designed from the Eames chair and ottoman outward?
Or to be contemporary, what would a house or condo look like if it were designed from the media center outwards?
While
waiting for an actual response. . .

I wonder why no American Architect ever tried to reproduce this house other than the property was so un real . This would have been a real hard house to live in,
Bucky Fullers Dymaxion house ...
Bucky Fullers Dymaxion house had the mast as a focal point but I suppose but that was more of an engineering inevitability.
I don't know a lot about classical architecture but the courtyard can be read as a focal point I'm sure though its a void.
The Farnsworth house has a core though I suspect Mies went out of his way to silence it as much as possible.
You might find Benthams Panopticon interesting to read about or an investigation of institutional architecture might yield more intersting results.
Indeed !
Thank you.
Here are some fireplaces. . .one of mine, two of Wright's (a fair distribution, no ?). The last is the fireplace in Wright's Oak Park studio (note three bare light bulbs hanging -- brand new technology at the time). Above that is one of several at Fallingwater.
One more:
This little four-square house from 1912 (there's four bedrooms and a bath upstairs) is inspired by a Wright design called the Fireproof House for $5000 (it was to be made of concrete). But this is better than Wright's design, to me: while the central chimney and stair are similar, this one has a unique feature: a continuous band of casements running all the way around the first floor, some of them windows or doors and some cabinets -- labelled books, china, or cabinet, depending on the room -- and the kitchen wall cabinets complete the band. Astounding -- as symmetrical as any of Palladio's villas, and functional to boot.
