Exp. 2. Week 1 Sketches

Here are some sketches inspired by 10 concepts; 5 of which relate to Studio Gang, and 5 that relate to Mies Van Der Rohe. Each sketch is replicated from another angle below it. The themes of both architects were thought up as a group. Both architects have a distinct style. The themes we came up with based on Studio Gang were:

• Adaptability - Forming new structure over already functional ones
• Renewable - Minimal environmental impact
• Materiality - Solving a problem and creating opportunity through design
• Escalation - Social revitalisation
• Social connectivity - Architecture as a stage

The themes inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe were:

• Less is more
• Removing barriers between interior and interior
• Simplicity through form and shape
• Prism based geometries and repetition of shapes
• Unrestrained spaces that flow
