RETREAT INTO YOUR CRAFT

The purpose of the project was think conceptually, spatially and 3-D with the intention to explore the crafting of space and form by using materiality as an expression of making, which creates particular environments and provokes emotions

The comfortable bamboo/timber styled chair, creates a seamless yet protective shell that covers the occupant from the natural elements for example wind and sound The installation is created purposefully for an escape from the city life The wooden timber and bamboo are used, because it gives not only warm feeling, but creates good sound insulation The occupant will feel and smell the materials and visualize that they are in nature

Brief:

The architecture campus project involved designing a 4 storey university, that involves a auditorium, cafeteria, 3 studios, library, offices and a green roof

Approach:

My approach towards the brief, was to use a lift as the engine/ heart of the building, while layering the different levels around the center piece The main goal was to create a continuous flow inside the campus and also incorporating movement Each floor thus creates a certain visual engagement towards the above and below floors
