Georgia and I presented our progress within our Digital Techtonics Research Seminr today.  The semesters project is to create a house within a defined set of rules, that can me modified into an infinite number of variations.

The conceptual beginning of the project deals with subtracted space within a solid form and its ability to define spatial parameters inside without the need for additional internal elements.  We used a series of houses by Japanese architect Chiba Manabu as a case study reference as his traditional methods of building conception also deal with subtractive space.
The images above and below explain the set of constrained rules that we created in order
