Project 3

Geometry and Form: Architectural Design Elements & Principles

This project requires students to extend Project 2's tectonic structure into a sensory space that anticipates and accommodates users' needs and emotions through their own reinterpretation of their Tectonic through a series of spaces, taking into account all of the elements learned in lecture class and previous projects.
