“Architecture exists at the confluence of form, material, environment, and structure. While this odd set of bedfellows informs architecture, this overlay produces an experience for the occupant� Brandon Clifford + Wes McGee

CONCEPT
Initial Studies
Initial studies explored volumes and subtractions of rectilinear spaces to parametric interior contours. Limited spacial variation in punch through though of facades challenged me to further iterate in the ideas of space.

Generation Of Form The rectilinear exterior allows for a conforming shape which could be placed in any given space or modulation. While the character of the interior subtraction gives form to a variety of activities such as reading, sleeping, standing, crawling or observation. It does this, by suggesting the contour of the human body in various ways and allowing for an individual experience of the volume without dictating a specific program or use for it.
