Concrete Mass Model: This model explores the circulation pattern of a studentat MCAD using spatial mass. Foam cut forms were used to mold the concrete shapeand give it meaning. This forming process acts much like the interactionbetween programmatic elements in an institution, where the liquid concrete isflowing and being guided, directed by the initial conceptual design andframework. We do not always see the framework of program that createsarchitecture, but it is essential for the design process and the finalarchitectural product. Program can be interpreted as this framework that isoften invisible but the modifying reason why the form exists.
