For Jiehwoo- Borromini




Jiehwoo- I'm not generally in the habit of recommending students look at Swiss baroque architects, however I think in this case it could be relevant.

Having seen your models today I have been thinking about the spatial organisation. Borromini used a specific hierarchy of served vs. servant spaces. Niches in plan are joined by domes and coffers in ceilings. This may be a way for you to address organisation and also material thickness to your models in the last few days.
