Le Corbusier came up with terms such as 'habitation unit' and 'machine for living' to try and described what he was trying to create. When others took his ideas thay did not take all the principles that went with it, some of which had dyer consequences for the residents placed within. This trying to find the one size that fits all may have started with the best of intentions but along the way forgot or ignored the fact that people are not all the same. Below is some quick sketches that attempt to combine the habitation unit, the machine for living and the lifes that didn't always fit the mould. Like a factor products line I intend to show most of the figures standing up right, tall and proper like the uniformed building's that thay are in. However I will make some of them appear to jump, stretch and crouch to show not all fit the mould.
I have created a mould from foam sheets, that were good due to there ease to cut, non absorbing and cheap in price. The first small example I have created from this with concrete has worked out great and and am being to feel positive about the route this has taken.
