Project 2 Composition, Craft, Opening

As you develop your design for project 2, keep in mind the idea of composition and craft

Composition - Like I have noted before, you will need to show competence with architectonic composition using strategies of folding, stacking, carving, shifting, arranging, repeating, thickening, layering of planes and linear elements.

Craft - Craft is not merely a neat model but also clarity in thinking through the formal strategies - You need to think of how to use the model making materials and what they signify in terms on inhabitation

Window - Think inside out

Have a look at some of these first year example from another university in Australia - very similar in approach if not in scale to your project - to see how some of them have used these strategies to create habitation
