A New Hope
Brief | Assignments 1 & 2
Explore the theme of ‘systems interaction’ – paying particular attention to the natural/biological processes of a living organism in relation to its respective interactions with a physical environment. Engage with controlled iterative analogue modelling and material research to draw out themes that exist between the bio-type and environment. These patterns will inform the design to be developed further in digital translation.
​
Brief | Assignment 3
Using refined themes and digital techniques explored in previous assignments, generate an architecture which is adaptive following an apocalyptic event. Specifically, it must evolve to meet the survival needs of it's inhabitants as the surrounding environmental context changes over time.
