Minima development:
In the inti tail stages of my minima design i started by working with shapes and finding out which would be the most efficient. I started by experimenting with the sphere and found out for a minimal space the sphere creates awkward spaces. However the circle works well. After studying the movements of the human body and finding most movements have a pivotal point i found the circle to be most effective.

Also studying the activities in that will be taking place i discovered that three spaces are all that would be needed to cater for them. one for showering and standing while you cook. A central space that would be used for cooking and studying on a fold down table. and one other on the right hand side for the toilet that doubled up as a seat. By using a demountable hammock space is not wasted with the use of a bed.
