Concept Model - Exercise 1

between architecture & landscape exercise one

This concept model explores the relationship between built space and the surrounding landscape of Coogee. The curved and wavy planes imitate the unpredictable sway of the nearby ocean, and slant in a way that challenges the 'normal' structure. The ground plane seems to rise to become not only a floor, but a wall and a roof. This allows one to consider the design as more natural than built.
The ropey material shows the materiality of my design to be rough like the bark of a the nearby banksia trees.
I want my design to snake its way through the site, and 'feed' amongst the trees.
