Grasshopper's Perch : Lookout Tower at Gira Falls

The process began with 2D abstraction, which was then given depth by 3D abstraction. Iterations of the same model were made using different materials. The process was thus transforming and leading towards structural explorations. Amidst this development, it became clearer that the process was heading toward the formation of a watchtower. The watchtower features a staircase that is integrated with the structural system. Link to the Portfolio Booklet
