Week 9

Just clarifying that :
A retreat is somewhere that individuals go to relax and learn more about themselves by having some time to reflect on themselves and their lives.

 In studio I've discussed the following with my tutor:

  • External environment:
The landscape should be integrated in the architecture too because of the concept of fluidity, so the architecture should flow into the landscape essentially creating one form. Integrating the landscape would also help with the notion of relaxing and 'getting away' from everyday life to come and relax in a retreat.

  • Interior:
With fluidity and translucency being my concepts, the retreat should have a 'light' ambiance to the environment-thus, the interior should flow from indoors to outdoors. My interpretation of bringing a soft and light feel into the scene whilst incorporating my concepts in the design is to have windows throughout the building and perhaps a panoramic view of the outside. Also have materials that have some translucency to them, perhaps some light screens instead of walls to divide up the spaces.

  • Finalising the prescribed additional representation:
My tutor was suggesting to create a short cg film to showcase my ideas clearly, so I'm taking a great leap of faith that I'll be able to lean how to video edit quite soon! So with the short film, I'm going to be embedding it into an "interactive web media creation with html and a combination of flash".
