Viewing Pavilion by Axis Architects P. 6-7 my idea of framing space was derived from this structure the structure acts as a framing mechanism to the environment.
Hatshepsut’s temple by Senenmut P. 8-9 In my kite exploration I drew inspiration from the rhythmic columns that are present in this temple.
Fake Hills by MAD Architects & Xia Zhi P. 10-11 Filtration was the third component, filtering the elements as well as circulation was important in development

1st iteration P. 14-15 Idea in model is framing different views and filtering of elements. What I found successful was the rotating frames, this I kept through the entire process
2nd Iteration iteration P. 16-17 This wave of models I focused on scaling up the models as well as Combining the two concepts into one. .
3rd and 4th iteration P. 18-19 This final exploration I explored rotating the frame and experimenting With skin, although one of my models I didn’t photograph. Tape was unsuccessful‌.

Photographs P. 22,24,26,27 In photographing the model as well as displaying it for the judges it was difficult to find a way to represent it accurately.,
Drawings P. 23,25 My drawing for the most part seem to be a lot more schematic and or sketchy rather than accurate renderings, plans, and sections.
Commentary If I had more time I would have densified the entire model to give it more coverage, I attempted to gesture this idea in my final model. I feel like i learned a lot about model making and to think about joinery and the finishings.
