External Examiner feedback

Professor David Dunster's feedback:

The internam geometry of the spaces needs to be more free and not following so much of the regimented formed grid with the idea of the pattern maybe being different. The skin itself is a skin not a system so treat it in a unique way. The mesh punctured pattern can help to prove this.

The boxes can be redesigned. The proposition needs to gain a conjunction Raise up a corner in the design and keep the rest rectangular. This could allow for rooftop terraces. Intentions need to be loosened up.

LOOK AT JOHN HEJDUK (Berlin Mask?) and LE CORBUSIER HOUSING PODS.

There could be a different room to each story. You could crawl up a stair and escape.

Old people like being with younger people. design something for the average 20-25 year old. but gentler. Something Gran could use.

Not a need for so many boxes. Maybe 8?

8 DIFFERENT BOXES FOR GRAN AND HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

It becomes the story of gran and her sisters/ brothers. Brings in the personal touch and breaks out of the system. Each pod is designed for her relatives.

Need to interview family members and understand their stubbornness. Its about personalisation of space. Creating an area that is yours even though it is the same as the houses around.
