2 Paper Models
The repetition of the square in seemingly random locations:
The Distortion of the ordinary to create the extraordinary:
This paper model is based around the concept of an underlying or hidden complexity to a structure. It relates to the various sketches that SANAA is known for. From the first glance, the sketches do not seem all that special, however, under closer inspection, they have various complexities that are hidden through the medium in which they are presented. I represented these complexities as strange patterns created through overlapping folds in the paper, appearing only when a light is shown from behind as distortions in the plain paper face. These relate to the iconic features of SANAA's architecture, where they take ordinary shapes and forms, and distort them into something extraordinary.

Zollverein School of Management and Design
Orthographics:
The Zollverein School of Management and Design is an interesting building that encapsulates many of the defining features of SANAA architecture. The main feature is the distortion of the regular. Without the various square windows scattered across the fascade, the building would just appear as a white cube. The scattered windows give the building a unique fascade and defining feature.

SANAA
- Takes the ordinary and distorts it.
- Constant use of white suggests a sense of distorted purity.
- More traditional forms of visualization, more drawings rather than digital images.
