PRECEDENT STUDIES
As designers, it is critical that we thoroughly understand what has come before us so that we may learn from the mistakes and successes of the past. This Precedent studies will allow us to look at architecture holistically and within a specific context, and take away lessons that can inform our future design.
In this exercise, our group studied and made comparisons between Skyville@Dawson and Habitat 67. Looking at the different climate and temperature of these 2 places, study the culture practices and how people respond to the place from different perspectives.
