Measure allows us to understand relations; our body in relation to the environment around us, the proximity to objects, the reactions to threatening actions, the thickness of walls, the vulnerability to weather, etc. You are asked to explore the small volumetric differential between CLAUSTROPHOBIC and EFFICIENT work environments, between a heavy back pack and an unbearable burden, between a screen, a window, and a shield. The key tool for this project is a SECTION drawing that maps your body in relation to its immediate surroundings.
