wooden horse development

what to use as a disguise....something that has meaning and a purpose in our lives. a strong idea which can lead to many directions in terms of form, function and communal working.

A PLANT ROOT...

something that grows undergrount...one which only sees light at very few points where by the only sign of life and existence is evident. a hard shell like material which houses the intricate inner working of the life producing energy within.

developing this concept into first stage sketches demonstrating the growing feeling in the design wanting to reach outside of the site boundary. thicker elements disappating into gradual stalk elements.

the design starting to demeonstrate the working together of the neighbouring site where the conceptual basis of earth fissure shows a potential binding of a transfer in form and atmospherical qualities from one site to the other thus creating a communal single-like site. As well as grafiti on another side where the form work begins to transfer into the neighbouring concept residence.

A 300mm gap draws interest from the site corner towards the suburban street corner where one is encouraged to peek into the space but are unable to walk through the space...essentially creating a channel of water feeding the plant to its core while also reminiscent of the interesting yet non penetratable channel.

A large core of water-the life or engine of the plant/residence where the tower (unit 7) is determined as a space of controlled movement through the design. an essential path form space to space and also becoming part of the core and experiencing the engine-like centrefold.

three major spaces separated from each other encouraging movement outside the shell experiencing the sky and air as if the one traversing through is experiencing the ducking in and out of the earth like a plant root.
