Projects
Project 1
This project urged us to explore design elements and use them to express design principles in a unique way
​
It taught us how to design with the design principles and elements in mind and use them to create a captivating design
Project 2
The bamboo project was a study into anthropometry, ergonomics and tectonics. It was a difficult challenge to design a structure which included all these elements together and the further challenge of using bamboo.
