This phase introduces students to a case study and students will be asked to translate their knowledge of the project into drawings and text that describe the tectonic importance of the case study project.

This phase introduces students to parametric processes using Grasshopper, to define multiple grids and then transform them in a systematic way to create new patterns and methods of organization.
