ANAPURNA AKKINENI

PROFESSOR Philip Beh’s comments would have been completely valid. Anna’s project is ordinary if she had not taken into her stride more complexity. The two elements have potential to be composed under many more complex [less simplistic] ways, and under many more conditions. Still Ann has developed the scheme to a level of detail that is fairly resolved, and the project does not lack interest. The façade elements, the dividing main wall between entry and spa-forest is good.

The entire project seems have a simplistic but bold idea of casually placing rooms in a garden setting. Whilst this can be quite ordinary, if Ann puts in other opportunities, such as massaging the size of the various rooms, or elevating them to different heights, or merely adding a third depth or layer to her project, this would give her more room for development.

Also for the best part, she is able to proceed quite logically with a set of probably beautiful drawings showing how louvers work, and how the garden needs to be planted, and so on.
