ASSIGNMNET 3 DESCRIPTION

A central word that would apply for this assignment would be rationalization. Furthermore this word also draws with many associations of a fence. The urban environment I have created has strong analogies with bees and there production of honey. I have looked at factories that also extract oil form underground and create a living environment within as a way of immediately harnessing employees with there work environment. This is the case for bees. They not only produce there honey in a beehive but also live there. An analogy with petrol can also be made with honey. Bees are representative of honey and they pollinate which makes them the most important living organism to mankind. Without them plants will not be nourished for us to survive. Without petrol or water we too cannot survive.
The production of hexagonal lattice as seen in bee hives proved many advantages in my urban environment. They can easily be braced to make for vertical and horizontal frame support. Hexagonal geometries permeate the entire context as a strong means of rationalizing everything. Hexagonal screens found only at ground floor indicate current areas for development. The buildings which are of extruded hexagonal mostly represent storage devices for fuels and water. More storage can be provided then if they were squares. The buildings having hexagonal screens wrapped around circular towers suggest the commercial and apartment buildings. Within the factory building at the centre rectangular building poking out signify living units as a means of visually and psychologically separating employees from the factories.
