More Preliminary Models for the Desert Domus

As we discussed a more outward aspect in relation to our modelling Amy and Aletha imagined more columnar fingers emanating from the wings of the model - but in an outward direction, so that windows may be placed at the extremeties of the building wings but yet be shielded from the hot desert sun. This way the building would engage more strongly in the landscape in which it sits. And I have to agree that such a modification to the model looks more aesthetically pleasing. Isn't it interesting that this design is evolving in a much similar way to desert creatures - hard outer skin with soft moist centre! Our tutor thinks the columnar barbs/fingers make the design look a bit like a dead carcass - perhaps it died of dehydration in the desert? - lol!
