Abstract:
This thesis, in the form of a creative project, explores and outlines the elements and process of design by creating drafts for a custom rabbit hutch. The objective is to create a fun, modern, and functional living space that nurtures the physiological and psychological health of a rabbit by incorporating these concerns in the design process. All elements of the design are supported by research on the needs and living habits of rabbits, as well as building and construction techniques. The finished product is the blueprint to build a living space for a rabbit that meets the needs of the animal in a functional and aesthetically appealing cage.
