STATEMENT I think what I have learnt the most this year in studio is working at a relatively fast pace especially with the charette projects. In terms of producing work for crits or for final submissions. I think the research component of each project helped to generate strategies that will be applied to the design component of the project. Creating models especially in the first project helped to explore the possibilities of the design. By working with physical items is a way to understand 3D form that can not be done with cad models. I feel that my skill in freehand drawing have also improved as I tried to include as much freehand sketches and final hand drawings as possible. But also having the 3D renderings to visualise the design. Thinking about each design in 3D aswell. I think during the year that I have gained abit confidence in my design abilities than in first year. And I think with the course being well structured helped in that aspect aswell.

BAS 2nd Year
For the first project of the year we were tasked to design a Innovation Hub located in a chosen site. This is a multiuse building that consists of a workshop facility and a office block. The design of the building was influenced by its context, utilizing the prevailing wind pattern and expanding upon that with a concept chronology and sketch models.

Concept Chronology:
1. Clerestory window exploration for heat extraction.
3. Double vaulted roof and building sunken into the ground:
5. Double roof system, double roof consiting of vault and flat roof combination to exlore more possibilities.
2. Double roof system and building exploration:
4. Double roof system and building partially sunken into the ground, allowing the earth to relegate temperatures inside.
6. Facade model to explore possible shading solutions, according to the orientation for example north, east and west.

The brief for the project was to create a bath-house situated on the Wits campus. The design concept behind this building was mainly driven by the way that people engage with the space. The open design and programming of the space allows for people to move freely around the space without feeling trapped.

Urban design analysis recquired a in depth study of Newtown located in Johannesburg. This individual component of the project required to research principles that would later be applied to the design.
Urban Design
The group work component required to consolidate the principles and to design a public space and a building mass within Newtown. The main concept behind the public space was to use the local context to enforce identity, to create a sense of place. And to tie in the surrounding context with our public space and building.

The groupwork component of project 4 recquired us to do research on a micro housing building located in Seoul, South Korea. Just to get a sense of programming and room sizes.
Live/Work
The individual component of the project required to detail the building mass from project 3.2 and detail units within the building. The concept is looking at the building topology and create a sense of privacy. Creating a building mass that responds to the context.
