Exposing relationships through spatial inhabitation
From this drawing I discovered that the child form did not need to be a static collection of capsules but in line with the addition economy, the maker’s gaining skills and the constantly changing requirements of the parent blocks, It could evolve continually. Though this drawing did not address the spaces in between the parent and child form: could this space become a ‘hearth’ space to cement the community of the parent block and child form as one, could it help redefine the excessive, expansive and underused external space of Karposh?

Adaptable Habitation
I continued to develop the proposal, splitting the façades of the capsules up into interchangeable panels, made by individual makers, attached to uniform structure. I did this to allow for the an easy route of personal expression, and to allow the changing needs, desires or finances of residents to become spatially/ aesthetically expressed within their choice of panels, they may enable expansion; some will grow some will shrink. The axonometric also shows the sharing of services and the parentchild relationship spatially.
