Concept Images: Implant, The Heart & Fire
Exploring the notion of the implant intervention gave rise to varying possibilities for objects or instances that could prove useful in providing vital inspiration for the programmatic design of the hostel. In this case it was the heart which used as a reference for the Implant. In relation to the public profiling, Somalia was the country which was looked at in depth and more specifically, the culture of the Somali nomads. Drawn from the gathering of this data was the decision to focus upon the camp fire which has great importance with respect to varying functions within the Somali nomadic hamlets. Shown to the right are initial circulation and zoning concepts derived from the profiling of the Somali nomads.
