Summary of the theatre project

This project - a theatre for the actress to entertain her lover - produced several outcomes. It highlighted the fact that designing through physical modelling is important - that it is shortsighted to rely on just the plan and section for working out the spatial qualities. It introduced the idea of including a narrative with the design, which I have heard is often used to inform student work. The influence of the Villa Muller project allowed me to think of the spaces in 3D as opposed to just the diagrammatic aspects of design. I developed my model making skills further and enjoyed researching the era and general architecture. Finally, the challenge of designing from a painting brought about a new approach to thinking about design.
