Concept Sketches and Test Models

Initial Plan and Section

Fragmentation and Origami

Fragmentation and Origami were concepts and inspirations for my design.
Fragmentation ties in with the idea of Chora and splitting the building.
Fragmentation and Origami can both be used in a sculptural way in the forms of the building as well as for a facades of the building. They can be used to engage people and achieve indirect natural lighting.

The Image above shows the application of origami and fragmentation to an earlier version of my facade.
