Ok.

I’ve struggled to settle into this course for multiple reasons. Worse than during Foundation year. But hey, life happens.

So, where are we? We are in the 3rd week of the course, and 2nd week (Phase_002) of Bodyscapes_a, a.k.a “Wearable Architecture”. What is our goal for this week? Finish off research work from last week - our group’s focus is still that of Circulation & Portals, and how the public interact with, and experience, said portals and circulations. The group’s current idea focuses on a mobile arch, combined with negating the wearer’s sight whilst amplifying and focusing the audiatory sensation of people traversing portals.

Along with this project, we have a case study of a house as part of the Cultural Context brief - mine is “Yakisugi House” by Terunobu Fujimori; and we also have the continuing Architectural Technology lectures (btw, lecturer is awesome - just don’t be late).
