Underground Village is dormitories for Woodbury University. The main idea was about pollution and how to protect ourselves against it. For the final Model I was inspired by the cracks situated on the upper parking lot and pollution happening over there.

The armor was created to protect against pollution and people who smoke. The material used was newspaper because it is a recycled material and can absorb the smoke with the carbon ink. The technique used is weaving to be able to create multiple layers and to avoid opening for the smoke to go through​​​​​​​

Final Model
For the public area, the roof is at an angle to add more sunlight in. The circulation is created by a sort of weaving pattern, inspired by the armor, by adding bridges to have circulation on top and at the bottom.
