  1. Use your studies from part 'a' to map the strategic relationship between the part and the whole in the house and its garden. Map this relationship in terms of the building's use.

  1. Map the relationship of public to more private spaces in the house, and the way in which these zones are distinguished or architecturally articulated.

  1. Examine the architectural attitude towards material choices in the house; what do the relationships between different materials suggest? Search for connections between this attitude and the architectural patterns of domestic occupations
