Exercise 1: Line
The word I used as a starting point for this exercise was ‘gradient’. I wanted to create an array of spaces which changed gradually in both their program and spatial qualities. Shorter, thicker walls create smaller, more private spaces on the outer edges of the site. Moving inwards, the walls rise up but diminish in width, allowing for more open, public spaces. A controlled set of ďŹ ve wall types, each with their own rules for placement and intersection with other walls, creates the gradient of space seen within the site.
