site investigations

over the weekend and into the early workings of this week, i have been developing ideas on potential site locations. what was presented were some semi-filtered selections of interest within the rural environment as well as the urban fabric. 


the critique was that if the architecture seeks to create an "escape" from the aesthetic and image obsessions prevalent in the contemporary profession, then why locate a site in an already removed, picturesque environment. with that said, this assignment needs reevaluation with more focus in the dense, urban environment.
