Studio: Prof. Pursley's Thesis Investigation
Length: 14 Weeks
When: Spring 2015
This is some of the work I have been pursuing this spring to investigate my thesis statement and the problem laid out in my prospectus. The above images are from a preliminary exploration of how to tackle this problem, after choosing a specific site, how one building can respond to the area around it, and with incremental design pursue a new type of housing. The images below show the conclusion of the process before the final, which became 3 different options, and layong them out to analyze architecturally, as well as financially. The conclusion of the process is in the thesis page.
