Architecture is the meaningful ordering and enclosure of space. This ordering and enclosing is achieved by distributing materials in space thereby resulting in two sets of space; one that is space occupied by material forming a structure; the other the space that is enclosed. This enclosing structure, and consequently the space enclosed, can take on an almost infinite variety of forms. Architecture arises from the aesthetic and cultural selection of particular spatial forms out of the infinite possibilities made available by this space-material relationship. The Studio investigates the fundamental relationships between material, structure and space as the primary basis for architectural design. Through the design of an architectural structure, We realized the ways in which different materials function, structurally behave and give expression to their intrinsic properties .Subsequently articulating material properties and forces to discover how such expressive details heighten the human experience of architecture.  We worked directly in three dimensions by modelling and prototyping to highlight structural and constructional aspects of their designs.
