Abstract
Experimental housing allows to the explore different ways of occupying space and are characterized by serving as prototypes for testing new design concepts. In the United States, this type of housing focused on improving the quality of life for residents and maximizing habitable space after the war. Numerous architects were called to develop this type of projects, among whom Richard Neutra and Marcel Breuer stand out. Both focused their studies on seeking economical materials and efficiently using the interior of homes. In this case, we have explored the projects of the VDL House and the House in the Museum Garden, paying special attention to each architect’s drawing methods to analyse and understand their concerns during the development of these houses.
