In this series of projects, the architect examined three materials (Paper, Wool, Plastic), seeking to explore new possibilities in design and construction. Focusing on perceptual and spatial qualities, the architect examined the notions of materiality, tectonics, layering, superimposition, space vs object, and exteriority vs interiority, exploring ways to rethink the use of the materials for application. The resulting work yielded three temporary installations using laminated paper sheets, wool, and synthetic plastic polymer.
