Unit Blocks are tightly packed, allowing for more to fill the footprint.
Unit Blocks are shifted to form openings to interior common halls.
Articulation Deleopment
This option offers a higher unit density alongside creating many outdoor balcony conditions.
A 75 Degree corner contitition was chosen to optimize daylighting on the ground level and solar panel allignment.
Building Systems and Enclosure
A skylight adresses the lack of hallway lighting in the chosen option. Flat roof provides easy maintence of solar panels. Solid corner conditions allow for vertical egress and building systems.
Further
Development
Communal Balconies for growing produce. Green roof for reduing ambient roof temperature for a solar panel array.
Unit Blocks are tightly packed but shift in and out to create ledges and overhangs.
Unit Blocks are loosely packed and have a large varence on the facade, forming large openings.

DESIGN DECISIONS
Bookshelf 1.1
• Tall flat-pack bookshelf - easy to cut and assemble.
• Slididing boxes act as bookends and shelf structure.
Bookshelf 3
• Long angled bookshelf - easy assembly and shipping.
• Flat shelf added for versatility and additional stability.
• The angle of the shelf is showcased where the lower corner meets the ground.
Bookshelf 3.1
• Further design ideration of bookshelf 3 to refine and simplify joints for easy assembly.
• shelf size incresed 15% to fit larger books.
• Scale model of assembled shelf- test of interlocking joints
Bookshelf 2.1
• Short angled bookshelf - ntended for K-3 classrooms
• angles were tested in increments of 0.5 degrees.
• 8 degrees was the best to keep resting books stable.
Bookshelf 2.2
• Short angled bookshelf - incresed child safety.
• Bookshelf is a closed solid for a safer design.
• More complex to cut then other previous iterations.
• Soft corners could be milled to increse safety.
Bookshelf | Final (3.2)
• Design langurage of ground angle is introduced into other shelf corners.
• Protruding edged were shortened or eliminated.
• Holes are milled into the lower shelfs to reduce weight.
• Books stay up and in position when one is removed.

Further design iderations led to a larger brick that takes from the interlocking property of brick C and has a slight angled surface to add another interlocking condition, potentially removing the need for mortar.
