TASKS
We were tasked to choose and research on a topic related to sustainable architecture in groups of four. We were then required to write a creative essay along with the required diagrams in regards to the topic chosen. A lot of creative freedom was given throughout the entire project as the topics could be data-centric, analytical, fictional, critical or conceptual.
