FLOW LIXIL INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMPETITION 2017- TEAM ENTRY MEIJI UNIVERSITY SUBMISSION ROLE: MATERIAL SELECTION, CONCEPT FORM, DESCRIPTION, SUPPORT SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND DESIGN This competition required the design of a ‘spa in nature’ where we needed to explore the possiblities of a communal bathing space in a natural setting. The issues to be considered were: privacy, sustainability, construction cost, the interaction between skin and materials, and the varying degrees in which the bath space can be mixed with experiencing nature. The entry was not selected as one of the 3 finalists. T H E C O N C E P T - Challenging the notions of enclosure and spatial definition, this structure allows an intimate interaction between users and the surrounding environment with a flow of loosely defined spaces. This spatial ambiguity is encouraged by the inclusion of only a few walls, formed mainly for the protection of privacy from the general public and the mediation of prevailing winds. These walls wind their way along the site, creating an area of relaxation that is safe from peering eyes.
