WEEK 9: THEORY CRAFTING

Keywords: 
1) Concoction

2) Enclosing

3) Aperture

4) Diorama

5) Shelter



Theory: 
With a concoction of enclosures and apertures, the diorama becomes a sheltering space.

(How?)
 Negative spaces in the structure reveal the enclosures within. But like in a brew, they must mix well even if their attributes are different, otherwise it will not achieve its intended effect. The architecture must balance its public and private boundaries, and become a comfortable space representational of its function for its human inhabitants.
