Tessa's design for the sustenance project was to design a space where food/consumption and social interaction could be done simultaneously, both being an important part of our sustenance. Her roof design was extremely interesting with a form similar to a wave with poles supporting the structure. One of the best aspects of it in my opinion is that it doesnt have a fixed interior but is in fact an "outdoor-ish" place as she describes it. The development of her project is quite thorough but I feel that it could be improved with a little bit more complexity in layout. It operates well in terms of the site and context as the design blends in well into the roof.

Ulysses's design was very interesting and the best part of it for me was its strong connection to the ground and how it is very literally connected to the ground. His concept was about how the building will perform when its purpose is to sustain people. His site is in a park. He describes his design as trench like and a roof . His development was good and I liked the way that it lead to an extremely unconventional idea of an "upside-down garden". Ulysses's design is quite intimate and has a natural spatial qualities (i.e. the space is informed by nature) which I really like. He gave us good advice for the animation - to  use windows movie maker as it is a lot easier to use, with good features as well.

William's project is a listening space for music as music is important for sustenance. He located his design in an apartment building. Its layout comprises of 2 rooms/spaces for listening to different kinds of music. One room (the bigger one) was for general hearing and the smaller one was for more detailed and fine hearing. I found this very interesting as both the rooms were different in terms of form and space to be able to provide different listening experiences, therefore the bouncing and absorbing of sound was varied in these 2 areas. William's project is focused on the interior and I found that his planning definitely supported its function.
