Rat house_14-17 y.o. architectural course. Vol 3.

The final project of teenager’s group in autumn semester for @youngarchsociety .
Class was about modular architecture, recycling and parametric.
Materials - acrylic gypsum, foam rubber, metal, plexiglass.
During an architecture course for teenagers, we created a labyrinth. We used virtual reality to design it and then made a prototype out of plaster tetrapods. To reduce the weight of the structure, we added waste materials 'foam garbage' from our workshop which is appeared due to our experiments.
 The house's wall is a product of a waste-free formwork technique we used. We made the mold by collecting  ice slabs and icicles from the school cortyard and the nearby Neva river.
@ztwins assisted us in creating the maze by attending a few classes and contributing to an alternative design for the configuration. We used a 3D printer to print segments of the maze, which we then used to create a silicone mold before casting it in acrylic plaster.
Special thanks to @vitaliy.datchenko for welding the frame and to @dimaplenka for taking great photos.
