project 1 improvisation and composition
Exercises beginning with improvisation - INTUITIVE MOVEMENTS - an exploratory, fluid and dynamic approach to creating and gradually inserting structure and meaning by way of 'lines of connection' and 3-dimensional composition.
project 2 patchwork gardens
An existing site on the ASU campus is introduced, and the final composition from the previous exercise is transferred and manipulated, now taking the surrounding context into consideration. Lines of connection are used as an ordering system, creating a relationship between site and context. 2-dimensional shapes are transformed into 3-dimensional 'walls', and a COMMUNITY GARDEN is created based on the reconfigured composition.
project 3 architecture, landscape, place and perception
This final phase creates new conditions and changes by introducing the issues of ARCHITECTURAL SPACE, USE, MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION. The main focus remains on the fundamental relationship between buildings and landscape, while considering the opportunities a program of MULTI-USE ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL FACILITIES offers to the project on both a large and small scale.
