Create the Openings and the Spaces

Assignment: Pushing and pulling the Envelope - Phase I - Creating the opening

Basically the idea was to create openings in foam cubes. These openings were designed for different actions; sleeping, bathing, cooking, eating, working and relaxing. Every action was turned and twisted to understand its requirements according to the opening. Some of the terms considered were private/public, social/asocial, view, orientation, size, scale, atmosphere, comfort, what kind of light could best support the action, and most important of all: The body-room relationship. Basically the openings were seen as a frame in the first phase. A frame for further development in three different investigation phases later in the assignment.
