Assignment 04.3 Defining Enclosure Walls

Objective: analyse & produce a library of architectural elements that define enclosure
Keywords: connecting, separating, dividing, screening, bordering, defining, enclosing, containing, layering, transparency, permeability, light&shadow

Like other 04 assignments, I analyse spatial, physical and structural quality. But this time I try to understand how materials define an enclosure areas. There are different projects and each of them define walls in different manner. And I choose 10 of them and made analyse about their relations and etc. After analysing process, I made sketch about it on my Accordion Sketchbook and after that choose 3 of them to make 1/10 detail model.
