Phase 1 Review

Phase 1 review.
First wave of design proposals - 100 inhabitable dwellings.

All projects began with a solid volume of blue foam measuring 6'x6'x8' (1"=1'-0" scale).
Volumes were cut, shifted, and rotated to provide an area for entry, internal circulation, and sleeping areas for 3-7 people. Final models for this phase were the result of a translation from solid to planar materials allowing the massing studies to become inhabitable while maintaining their volumetric identities.
