Objective I seek to understand the emotions a space can evoke in a person in order to recreate these reactions in my own work. I believe the best way to explore space is through model making and this is how I will continue to design. Being able to communicate a design to a client through sketching is fundamental in becoming a successful architect. I will continue to improve these skills along with others to prepare myself for the Part 3 exam.
