In Project 2 Nomad, students moved into another way of thinking about mobility, but from the position of the human body.   Beginning with the notion of Nomadic architecture, the students were asked to respond to a social activity between two anonymous individuals, of which they were responsible for identifying. From the 'everyday activity' the students chose, they conducted in depth research into its social, physiological and historical lineages. From their findings they developed a spatial Nomadic link. This architectural response was to look beyond merely an object/environment that connects two people, but to focus on generating a spatial condition that activates the space between two bodies.
