Project 2

Project 2 will have you go on a journey to answer all the questions. You will be working with timber and understand the nature and characteristics of timber and how it is to be used in your design. You will learn about the timber’s life cycle, joints, joinery and structural quality. The next step is to amalgamate your design intention (learned from project 1) and structure into your Tectonic with anthropometry and ergonomics. You are to develop your Tectonic through a series of workshops, tests and investigations involving scaled ‘study models’, exploring architectural elements and principles with anthropometry and ergonomics. The final design will be produced with a scaled model and drawings.
