The Ecology of Mass
The application of volumetric bodies, responsive to environmental pressures, for the design of a housing block in combination with fitness facilities.
The project brief opens the opportunity to speculate about massing in architecture. A manifold of strategies such as accumulation, aggregation and agglomeration form the launching pad for various, computationally driven, strategies of design. Further explorations include tactics of façade articulation, spatial subdivision and fenestrations.
