-1-5 Iterations -Section, Plan and Elevations on AutoCAD -Rendering on Fusion 360

N.1 Cardboard - Unstable This iteration shows the idea of Instability where the structure is not fully straight or is being held by a single component. All parts have been placed randomly which is how this structure was born. The piece looks rough and unfinished or maybe broken and damaged giving a sense of discomfort. Yet such style shows an element of suprematism creating a three-dimensional piece of art.

Overall I believe that this piece can be observed but it cannot be understood.

N.2 Cardboard - Collapsed This Iteration shows a low level of harmony between each piece as all components lean towards a centre point except the bottom parts, creating a flat layer which reveals that all pieces were once flat until the outer layer started to fall inwards like a hand clenching. This overall is irregular, having manly one dominant space with multiple entrances which almost looks like a shattered pyramid revealing its secrets.

Concepts to develop idea + Sketches

Overall I believe this is an improvement from the previous piece as this structure reveals a timeline where the components shifted in positioning revealing the construction process as well as a deeper meaning.

N.3 Cardboard - Asymmetr y

This iteration has a gradated rhythm in elevation, showing asymmetry in weight due to the left side being enclosed without any openings balanced by the larger right side with multiple apertures. The left side has a touch of suprematism inspired by a previous iteration whereas the right side shows an irregular rhythm between shaped enveloped by an outer frame. This frame defies the difference between the inside and the outside making the overall structure look completed.

Overall, this is a major step forward from previous work. Perhaps I should add a new element in the future.

N.4 Cardboard - Standing

This iteration was partly inspired by model N.3 due to the asymmetry component. It has been divided into two components; the top section has almost no opening whereas the bottom component has been perforated throughout exposing multiple parts especially the numerous rectangular pieces that follow a random rhythm. The wider rectangular piece at the top has a dominant effect due to its greater proportion as well as due to its positioning in comparison to the other quadrilateral shapes in the bottom section representing a hierarchy. The top section is mostly filled giving a heavier appearance to the object as a whole. The iteration’s components make the structure look unfinished as the bottom part has no outer layer.

N. 5 W h i t e M o d e

This iteration is composed of three Areas: Atrium, 'balconies' and multiple pitched roofs. The Atrium is highlighted as the dominant aspect of the structure, being the only enclosed section, and it is the core that connects all the components. Simply made from a cuboid, its apertures have complex patterns showing an antithetical element that creates a path towards the 'balconies', which are completely exposed to the surroundings. Moving upwards, the multiple pitched roofs oversee the whole structure, where the smallest roof acts like a canopy for one of the balconies.

This component has a modern appearance due to its simplistic design as well as a gradated rhythm due to the rise in levels.

Overall, I believe this piece shows contrast in multiple ways such as exposure which are however in balance which brings each component together.

Plan + Section + Axonometric

Even though these drawings are not to scale the scale of the people within the structure should highlight rough real life dimensions if the model existed in real life, on a bigger scale.

Objective: The aim for this micro studio is to create a space for meditation isolation and reflection. I believe focusing on a natural environment such as the Edenfield waterfalls which is surrounded by soothing white noise creates the ideal setting for my structure to function.

Site Analysis Sun Path

From the Figure ground, one can notice that the site is separated from the residential area making it an ideal site for the goal of the project.

Traffic and Noise level

As seen from the Traffic and Noise Level site analysis, Noise shouldn’t be a problem and the site will be only surrounded by nature, perfect for mdeitation and isolation.
