Study the principles of form, space and order that underlie architectural design. Concepts include: mass and void modelling, volume and space construction, enclosing planes, circulation, organisation, hierarchy and structure. Projects 1-3 involved working with various materials, such as sugar cubes and dowels, to form models that established our knowledge of these architectural concepts. Projects 4 & 5 applied these concepts to contexts using design software.
