Project 1 Pieces and Parts
This project explored the basic landscape elements at a small scale of 2� by 2� wooden cubes. The siteless exploration allowed the pieces to be an experimental study of the relationship between the different components.

The goal of the next step was to study and explore the project site through physically occupying the site and research through other media. The data and information obtained was then overlayed and diagrammed over plan and section drawings. Through the process, few photographic techniques were applied for further explorations.

This project aimed to explore the typology using the common littoral edge condition. The typology was designed through the application of a set of terms, which were then created as a 3D print model and lazercut models.

This final project combined all the previous process to reveal the potential of the Silver Lake Reservoir. The design was then explored through multiple drawings from different perspectives.
