S2 Crit-1

For this final crit of the year we were given a new brief asking us to combine our gathering and gifting projects whilst adding the element and attention to 'grounding' to transform our building into an 'architectural wonder'

For me this meant a lot of work, because I still had open spaces in my building which did not seal the inside and protect it from harsh weather or environmental issues.

Therefore my first priority was to consider all the environmental issues of the site: weather, sunlight, glaring, wind direction due to its close range to the ocean, noise and safety, shade, accessibility and interior layout.

I went on first to modify my flat roof made purely of glass to start considering about the structural elements which supports the structure and starting considering slopes to fit in with the rest of the patterning.
