Day 04: Today we started working on the final model. We cut pieces of foam board and covered it with plaster to create a rough texture to contrast with the smooth surface of the floor.

Day 03: Today we presented our idea, after researching the life of Le Corbusier we decided find a word that describes it and this word is "Contrast". Our idea is to create a building using his paintings as plans and his architectural principles as a basis to show contrast in both materials and circulation. We also want our performance with the model to have some aspects of contrast in it, to fit our narrative. Later we tested materials and did a small sketch model to see how everything fits together.

Day 02: Today we started working on different ways to create curved walls for our building. We used a plethora of materials and techniques. Then we split to 3 different groups to discuss how to design our own interpretation of the idea. We decided to find a word that describes Le Corbusier and use is as a starting point of our design. Tomorrow we will present the ideas and further develop our concept.

Day 01: Today our group had its first meeting. We brainstormed on how to present an architectural idea through performing. Inspired by the life and ideas of Le Corbusier , we decided to create a building based on his paintings. After some research we found four paintings that we will use to create our own building based on Corbusier's 5 points of architecture. Our performance will be a choreographed assembly of our building made out of the four paintings. Tomorrow we scheduled to start working on some sketch models to test our ideas.
