Representation Series
The idea of the representation series is to demonstrate an understanding of architectural design thinking concepts and craft in architectural model making. The models in this series employ a variety of fabrication techniques along with applying an ordering system principle to each iteration. Models are composed using analog and/or digital model making techniques. The fabrication techniques, principles, and materials were all chosen independently.
