TASK A
Task A: Subtractive & Additive process
The intention/success criteria for M2 was to create a space that has a window on the roof that would allow natural sunlight into the space. Secondly to create a window on the side so that a view can be captured and finally to create a semi-private atmosphere. I began my exploration through Task A.

Model 1
Through the first iterations, I chose this to be my model. It is created with the combination of centre boxes and then rotating them followed by point attractors and finally rotating the boxes again. I then BooleanDifferenced out of the object on an angle. I did this to create a window on the side
As the human scale shows, a window that is framing the outside has been created. I think this model is successful as it has created a window on the side to capture the view and allows natural sunlight in through the tiny window on the roof. However, semi-private space has only been created at the corners.

Model 2
This iteration model has been chosen through the use of growth and moving the X and Z unit. I decided to use growth because I wanted to focus on one direction as the extraction box is only 50mm x 50mm. I decided to have growth going up and to the side.

Model 3
Overall, my model 3 is closely tied to Radix. As it can be seen in the isometric I have included my success criteria of having a roof window along with a side window to capture the view. Overall my final model 3 is the one that creates the best semi-private space. The space is private compared to the outside space as the walls are fully covered and the entrances are really low in comparison to the rest of the pavilion. The main entrance however is really clear as it is the tallest.
In my human scale, it can be seen that the circle frame cut out can be use for the people on the outside to look inwards into space as well. The peep hole on the left can is lower compared to the circle frame which also allows children to interact with the space and allows them to look in and out.
Analysis
I have analyzed the comparison between the light waves, privacy levels, movement, and traffic flow between Model 2 and Model 3. In terms of light, Model 2 provides more light into the space in comparison to Model 3. However, In model 2, the light seems to be more focused as it lights up one space whereas in Model 2 it lights up multiple spaces. The privacy level is also higher in Model 3, this is because the walls are more enclosed and there is one space. The movement in Model 2 is similar to a straight line as people would walk in one direction and exit through the other side. They would also need to exit that space to enter into the other space on the left that provides more privacy as it is smaller. Whereas in Model 2 as they enter a space they can see the entire atmosphere. The traffic flow is most busy at the entrances for both the spaces as that is where people would come in from, and the sides of the pavilions wouldn't be as busy as most people would be sitting or relaxing there.
Overall Model 3 was the most successful in terms of privacy level.
3D Printing Approved
In my 3D printing file submission, I had to orientate my models so that it would take the least amount of time to create and so that it wouldn't need as much reinforcement. Overall, I learnt that 3D printing needed a lot more work than I thought.
