The brief
Explore a vision of urban architecture through a school model and multiple viewpoints.
Design choices
Offset and stack volumes around a perforated grid, varying the solids and voids with the viewing angle.
The outcome
A 1:300 model in foam board and paper, with laser-cut elements.

A school model exploring urban architecture through stacking and multiplying points of view.
