Paisley designs

Been currently very much interested in the pattern design of paisley, I thought it was just random shapes prior to looking it up on wikipedia. Not assuming that it is right, but taking it as an opinion. So it goes on about it being derived from particular leaves, but also has ties with ying and yang.

Anyhow, here’s my scan of a book I currently am using for uni.

Resolving Ideas

Currently ending my second year in architecture, and my project is a real problem to resolve.  Pragmatically, it isn’t about how a structure would fit or work in a space:- it’s more about whether the space if appropriate for the project.  Until I get this end tied down, I’m not going to be able to move on.  I wish I had a simple answer for it, or simplify the project that I created for myself.
