Analyzing Precedents and Research

1) The first 2 images show a shelter made from recycled water bottles. I choose these images because it would be a good idea to use materials that we already have to save more money. Even using materials such as plastic water bottles, they still provide the shelter and cover that we need. We could take the labels off the plastic bottles to be able to give more of a view because the bottles are clear to give more light and to have it more clear to see outside. I think the most important thing of this is the way the author uses this to create a cool shape of the shelter. The least important is how the plastic bottles are different colors. I think we could keep them the same color like clear or green or whatever we feel is best

2) The last set of photos shows a hexagon that me and Carson made last year in our tree dwellings studio. I choose these photos because it fits the idea of this studio. In the model where the area is cut out, there would be glass or aplastic windows. I think the model is a cool design and would be cool to make. I think the most important part of this how you can see through almost any wall with it being glass or plastic but yet be inside and safe in a closed structure. One thing that we could change in this is the amount of glass windows because the sun might make the inside hot so maybe we could shut the windows or have a way to open one and find a way to give it a cover.
