Exercise 4 was a combination of space, structure, light, and stability. The project dealt with incorporating all the elements of past exercises and also the element of creativity. The instructions called for a mock-up to be created at full-scale in terms of size and strength. Using a certain modularity and element from the past exercise, the mock-up was made to show a certain element of the design, if it were to be built at full-scale. Keeping these techniques in mind, our group developed the module based off the original case-study of UN Studio's Villa NM structure.
Another important aspect of exercise 4 was the use of materiality. A maximum of two materials were allowed to be used, and the group had to keep in mind the stability of the mock-up and even the full-scale building. Thus, our group decided to incorporate EMT steel piping as a material to create our structure. The pipes were bent and drilled for connectivity and to create the odd shaped modules.
