Passive Design Project

MY CONCEPT

starts by taking a single piece of fabric and folding it until I can create spaces within it. Through this idea, I transformed my piece of fabric into the idea of the curve. With this new idea, I still focussed on how I can create spaces within the curve while having a sense of circulation as to where I placed my curves within the structure. Specifically, the curve has a very feminine quality and I wanted to contradict that for my designer by picking men’s suits which is structured, bold, and professional. Through my analysis, I found out that I was interested in First Floor Commercial Spaces vs. Residentially inaccessible Spaces which allowed me to create a very publicly vs. privately oriented structure and site.
