STAGE 1
We experience form through all our senses, space changes depending on how we look at things which alters our experience in it. This stage of the module was about how experience and space is interconnected and how we feel, changes the space. In this stage we were all assigned parts of the short stories of the author J G Ballard. We read these texts and made drawings on how we would feel if we inhabited this space.
The street, a seedy but busy thoroughfare of garment shops and small business premises running through the huge ten-mile-thick B.I.R. Industrial Cube, ended abruptly in a tangle of ripped girders and concrete. A steel rail had been erected along the edge and Franz looked down over it into the cavity, three miles long, a mile wide and twelve hundred feet deep, which thousands of engineers and demolition workers were tearing out of the matrix of the City. Eight hundred feet below him unending lines of trucks and railcars carried away the rubble and debris, and clouds of dust swirled up into the arc-lights blazing down from the roof. As he watched, a chain of explosions ripped along the wall on his left and the whole face slipped and fell slowly towards the floor, revealing a perfect cross-section through fifteen levels of the City. Franz had seen big developments before, and his own parents had died in the historic QUA County cave-in ten years earlier, when three master-pillars had sheared and two hundred levels of the City had abruptly sunk ten thousand feet, squashing half a million people like flies in a concertina, but the enormous gulf of emptiness still stunned his imagination.

PROCESS DRAWINGS
I was working with idea of these many houses stacked one top of another creating levels in the space which are very tall. I have tried to draw the said depth and stacking of houses. At first I was showing many buildings which you were looking at from a very high height and then I moved to show the two main buildings and their details.
FINAL DRAWING
STAGE 2 - PROSTHETIC MADE WHICH WILL HELP INHABIT OUR DRAWINGS
IN THE NEXT STAGE I WORKED ON A MODEL WHICH WAS AN EXTENSION TO THE STILT AREA OF OUR SCHOOL, WE EACH MADE ITTERATIONS TO THE MODELS IN 1:50 AND 1:25 SCALE AND THEN AFTER COMBINING A FEW IDEAS OF THE MODELS, WE MADE A 1:1 STRUCTURE
FINAL MODEL
FINAL STRUCTURE - 1:1 SCALE
Parallelly to the prosthetic were each also working on a text. The text was about how we would inhabit our drawings, on how we would experience this space, and on how our life would be here, these texts later altered and combined in a way to form a script which was performed as our final presentation.
