Project notes

Working at 1:50 and 1:100, these physical models test joinery, light, scale and silhouette before drawings are finalised. Most are built in chipboard, basswood and paper; the woven-beam study uses bamboo skewers and rammed earth to prototype the structural module of an earlier rural pavilion.

Together they bracket the master's research period, and each corresponds to a built or unbuilt project documented elsewhere in this portfolio.
