This project required only individual work. From the information gathered through the part 1 assignment, Tracing the historical response of the macro site, mapping it over a series of significant stages in the course of its background provides a description of the life and memory of a space. Given the task that I was to produce my personal interpretation of the macro site in the form of sketches, responding with the inspiration experienced in Labrador Park, for a contemporary idea that connects directly with the past archeology/memory/history of the site. 

 

 

'Interpretation of the character of place - sketches' recorded ...... Serial Vision by Gordon Cullen & Phenomenological Readings by Steven Holl.

 

 

Upon the completion of Project 2b, the extend of the understanding of design concept and process has well developed. In overall, I am able to identify the key characters of the place that formed the inspiration in my design, and then present a design concept derived from the issued discovered. My personal studies had been recorded in 2 forms: 1) 2 A3s of hand-drawn sketches; 2) Conceptual Drawings: Plan, section, elevation and 1 conceptual model. 

 

 

Concept:

Protectionism.

Conveniency, easy and comfy - Built up the whole idea of this house.

 For a user who stays in a forest, travel from a point to another at most time,

will definitely need a resting space where is easy-handling and comfortableto rest and stay in.

He would also need a space which serves his daily activities acoordingly.

Therefore, the orientation designed for the house is nearly circular.

In a way, it provides linear (Easy) circulation.

Partitions designed instead of walls are to allow the user to

arrange the spaces he desires at specific time/period.
