This project was largely about developing a personal design process which could be applied and adjusted throughout the course of the design. The brief looked at developing a retreat and educational + research centre on the Kakikawa Dam in the Fukushima Prefecture of Japan. The brief was titled "Can Architecture Heal?" as the architectural solution would provide insight and information on the events of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant meltdown that was caused after the devastating 2011 tsunami that swept across Japan.
The project was separated into two stages. The first, a drawing exercise that focused heavily on the process in which architectural plan and section drawings were created. The following part of the project was an extension of the drawing sets into a 3 dimensional modelling exercise. The final part of the process combining both sets of work to a polished portfolio.
