quarters, and a space for viewing the surrounding landscape. An emphasis was placed on developing a hierarchy of public and private spaces and designing a space that could adhere to the strict lighting conditions required for viewing an ancient manuscript.

The site photographs formed the base for the digital collages, where students “placed” their gallery proposals into the landscapes.

“Collaging is a collaborative way to capture personalities, diversities, and complexities among the design process. It is also a means of accepting and celebrating mistakes.” - Bianca Wilson PHYSICAL COLLAGES Students collected postcards to study the spatial relationships seen in the built environments of both Ireland and Scotland. Students collected the

postcards from various shops, galleries, and museums they visited to use in their physical collages. This assignment aimed to generate new architectural spaces and landscapes from the familiar and cliche postcards that were widely available. Analog collages also allowed students to remove themselves from the digital realm and bond with each other over daily trips to craft stores.
