REIMAGINING THE FORM Further experimented with the design to see if it could be placed into the residential context but it felt too forceful. This could be because of the choice of material which is concrete. The concrete showcases the man-made structures which already exist. This causes the emphasis to be on the structure instead of the natural form that I was trying to invoke through the walking experience. Hence, once again, this is used as a learning experience that the materiality of my design should be less disruptive to the environment as it will only move the attention from the users to the design itself instead of the nature. As I felt that i was restricted from the paper model, I attempted to recreate what I wanted to showcase through the trapezium form. But i got carried away with the functionality of the design and making it to seem very playful.
The form was to provide a sense of discovering and uncovering different functionality of the space such as hiding beneath the structure and also using the curvature of the structure to provide shade from the sun. This seemed too solid and crazy for something in a residential setting. Hence, I have put this aside as a crazy thought.
