So this is how is going to work...
I'm going to try and document this semester's design project (and others) and track the progression week by week. Its kinda a passive surveillance on my own progress/ process and keep certain degree of self-criticism parallel to the project as week goes by. I'm a little unsure how it will turn out and am a bit frighten to put it out in the open...

The past week was a simple task working with materials/ cladding. Idea was to recontextualise, to create a protype of a cladding (??). Mine was a simple one... working with material's properties choosen (in this case, timber veneer from Reverse Garbage). By weaving the strips together (with grains going perpendicular to one another) to enhance to strengh of the material...and to use the rigid material in a way similar to fabric. (After thought) As an concept for cladding ,by weaving - material is partially both inside/outside thus space in between offers oppurtunity for programs to be inserted??? so the skin also forms the gut of the building. skin*floor slab* wall*ceiling*skin*floor slab*wall.....
...but the result was a rather ugly looking placemat, which is kinda disappointing.

This week the group was given some information of the site...
