Week 3 - Reading Reflection

This weeks reading "Shearing Layers" delved into the several layers/services of a building, which can aid in making it functional and look better. These services however, need to be replaced every 15 years. Exterior services on the other hand, can be changed every twenty years or can change along with the advancements in technology and architectural fashion. 

This reading somewhat relates to the functionality of project 1 in terms of fictional notions. The interaction between interior and exterior marks a perfect example of how changeable our ideas can be. Again, this idea of adaption and change seem to play a role in architectural success. Additionally, the concept of 'set' and 'scene', terms used in film making, was an interesting metaphor for the experiences and vision architects must envisage when designing future in mind.
