Academic Work - Duration: 3 weeks 2016 create a communal space through zones that provide a sense of belonging. rough prior programming, the visitors were exposed to several workshops and activities that have developed a connection to the place, which enables their connection with others.

During my second-year vertical studio, I challenged myself to utilize my strongest skill, hand drawing, to create my two 24” X 36” presentation panels. I decided to make this decision for this project particularly due to the natural and organic site of the castle that we were working with. I did not believe that this would have been achieved in the best way through 3D digital so ware.

It works between public and private e environment diminishes any sense of social barriers as the partitions are present to allow the user to feel comfortable with their immediate surroundings. e oor levels are relative to the site and de ne the spaces according to one’s position within. Here, individuals are submerged three-dimensionally into their chosen interior environment.
