ARCHITECTURE

This project serves as a culmination of my previous work in ARCH 600, integrating key concepts explored throughout the course. It required me to revisit and expand upon earlier lessons, applying them from multiple perspectives to deepen my understanding of spatial design. Key principles such as Solid and Void, Implied and Defined Spaces, Sequence, Hierarchy, and Slot Conditions were central to the development process. Through iterative design and model-making, I refined my approach to spatial composition, reinforcing my ability to create meaningful and dynamic spaces.

Additionally, I learned to develop a structured process of translating 2D concepts into 3D spaces, utilizing color as a tool for definition and spatial clarity. This approach allowed me to break down complex ideas and refine them into tangible architectural elements. Throughout my development, I challenged myself to view the project from different angles, both literally and conceptually. I rotated and flipped my project throughout approximately 60 iterations, recognizing that every shift in perspective revealed new opportunities for refinement and innovation. This method not only strengthened my spatial awareness but also broadened my design thinking. During my final presentation, my professor and peers applauded my ability to articulate this process, appreciating how I embraced a multi-directional approach rather than being confined to a singular viewpoint. This experience solidified my understanding that great design is not just about structure but about perspective, adaptability, and continuous exploration.
