Design Academy Unit Phase 1

First assignment, Atelier, Module 3, Spring 2008:
Make a 'unit' that you can fit inside of. Use any cheap / free material. Minimum size of one cubic metre and no larger than an elevator. Think of aesthetics, decoration, sensitivity. Keep it simple. Make it personal, something you like. Read it as an empty book. On the other hand, don't think. Work. No concept. Emphasis on material and skill. Your identity. Individual. Experience the inside. Two weeks to build but keep in mind this will just be the starting point of a later, three-month development.

The results after two weeks on the 5th floor of the Design Academy Eindhoven:
