A house of sorts (brewery/home)

The driving concept for this project was for the building to emphasize the structure working like an organism, embodying a complex range of functions and spaces which all have to work in sync with each other.

A space for contemplation

The main concept for this project was the transcending from one space to another and the suspension of time in this process.

Atmospheres

This project asked us to represent the atmosphere we perceived of the space we were allocated. The space I was given was within the library complex, down in the basement levels, where there were no windows or natural lighting. There was a really low ceiling, and the floor was one vast space filled with numerous book shelves. My portrayal of the space was with a distorted double-level labyrinth game.
