Hey. This is the weakest part of my architectural ability and that is making a model, the cuts, bruises and frusteration are just not nice teaching you to start assignments a couple of days before they're due. The big pod rotates and the littlier pod remains stationary throughout.

This is the first of three posters, mainly discussing the ideas and thoughts that I had, which I hoped to achieve and present through the architecture, (which I always struggle to achieve?). I hoped to present a space, for myself, which allowed me to function normally, studying on the floor as desks are too constrictive, etc.

However, through my development process, after beginning with the bare minimal of pocessions, I decided upon a room that will rotate for the shower, and remain in the horizontal position for most of the day for cooking, cleaning (to which I do a lot of!) and studying. To avoid any difficulties that may be caused by plumbing the toilet was separate from the main pod and remained stationary through out.


The structure is moved from site to site by setting the wheels out and pulling it in a similar fashion to a trailer. It is light and the pods are locked into position throughout each rotation to avoid unwanted movement throughout the moving process.
