Students worked together in teams to design and construct a life-size enclosure on a pre-selected site. They had limited resources including: bamboo, muslin cloth, and string. They were required to make a space and structure that provided shelter for their team, and related and responded to their site.
Following the drawing workshop, the students then drew different locations inside Giles Hall. They were to focus on the aspect of perspective drawings to capture a 3-dimensional space in a 2-dimensional drawing, and use detail drawings to focus closely on how things are built/constructed.
Students were challenged to use one single piece of paper folded to hold up as many bricks as possible. Each group was given 20 minutes to design and test their first design, then were given an opportunity to enhance and retest their design.
This was the first individual assignment given to students. Each student began to think about capturing and defining space. Each student was also given a 鈥渒it of parts鈥 and asked to make a model that had both defined enclosed and defined open spaces.
