sitooterie

the focus of year two was timber construction. we were to individually to design a sitooterie for two people using a given site on campus. later four designs were chosen to be built in groups.

the site was not very inspiring and it had quite a difficult context. the site is sheltered from the sun a building and trees to the south. it is also very close to the student union therefore the night time activity around the site had to be considered. from site analysis it was discovered that due to fencing people often walked around the site and not across it or use the space.

my response to the site was to create a sitooterie that connected two parts of the site so i created a walk-way that went across the site. focusing on the linear i had horizontal slats with small windows to create interest.
