Free plan

This is made possible by replacing interior load-bearing walls with moving the structure of the building to the exterior, or by having columns that are free from space dividing partitions.

Free plan allows for the ability to create buildings without being limited by the placement of walls for structural support, and enables an architect to have the freedom to design the outside and inside façade without compromise.

Originally conceived as a two story building, six vertical columns held the two concrete, steel reinforced floors in space.

The free exterior façade allowed for vast openings and horizontal strips of windows creating aesthetic value.

Notably, the Barcelona Pavilion expresses free plan by having glass walls and large expanses and openings in the outside façade of the building.

The interior also demonstrates free plan by not being limited by load bearing walls, but instead having large, openings and rooms in the inside façade of the building.
