Home isn't always a place
Home isn't always a place
Explore line-type, degrees of continuity and enclosure
Architectural design and concept should come from a consideration of the habitat
Iterate on the elements, test at least 3 concepts
Explore symmetry, fanning, progression, intersecting lines, details (time), positive / negative
Expand / experiment with 3D, materials, and alternate mediums

Shelter
Protection, refuge, cover from elements
Cave, tent, temporary enclosure, semi-open enclosure

Studio comments lead to a revision of the icon.
The overhead enclosure weight was lightened to establish a theme of "temporary space".
No ground plane is shown to establish a "nomadic" space.
The concept of "space" is close to the ground.

Place
Location, position of order, arranged
A defined location, placing onto the site
A defined location, placing onto the site
The concept of "space" is separate from the ground, it is perceived.
Habitat
Natural environment
Coming from the site, local resources

The concept of "space" is part of the ground, it is inherent.
Architecture
Design of buildings or places for an aesthetic effect
Conceptual and actual, intentional, function and form

The overhead enclosure weight was lightened to lighten the weight of "enclosure".
The ground plane draws from "habitat" and environmental considerations.
The concept of "space" is separate to the ground, contained within the design.

Building
Built and constructed structure
Combination of elements requiring assembly, completed structure

The ground plane draws from "place", may not consider "habitat".

Coloured Elements
An experiment using colour overlays and Photoshop layer types.
Base colours: Building (Blue, glazing / blueprints), Architecture (Red, concept / revisions), Habitat (Green, landscaping / planting), Place (Yellow, signage / construction), Shelter (Grey, temporary)

In linear arrangement, the above shows the concept of "space" rising and falling in relation to the site.
Combined Elements (Week 1)
An experiment using colour overlays and Photoshop layer types.
All elements are defined with similar weight.
The ground plane, space (circle), and overhead plane are defined.
The ground plane, space (circle), and overhead plane are defined.
Combined Elements (Week 2)
An experiment using colour overlays and Photoshop layer types.
Elements are different weights.
The ground plane, space (circle), and points of extents (top, left, right) are defined.
The ground plane, space (circle), and points of extents (top, left, right) are defined.
Further study in alternate formats are possible (ex. curves, asymmetrical) .

Is construction a destructive process? Cyclical?
Portrayed in storyboard, in diorama, in cartography, in lattice, in graphical database.
Established historical concepts should be used warily, as they set a precedent and a comprehensive understanding should precede usage.
