When designing the residence for the Salt Maker, I prioritized the importance of preserving nature due to the location of the site and the Salt Maker's qualities. I chose to use the cave for the location of the residence. My initial ideas set the location of the bedroom in the back of the cave, just like a residing animal. I used the shape of the cave to progress from there. I want the residence to be simple and blend with the cliff face, causing a unified relationship with the natural monument.
I think it is important to create and document multiple questions throughout the designing process. Questions of design and meaning accelerate personal understanding and reasoning of the design. Also, questioning how to represent your design, such as what materials exemplify the ideas of the design, can help explore all avenues of potential. A question I am experimenting with is how to model the cave face. Creating many iterations is the only way to answer these questions, like I have started to do with roof design.
