The Organic Compound


The Organic Compound

Changing perspective to a 'space dwelling'. concentrating on the space itslf, I find that; 'cylinder' is more organic shape than a 'vault'!
  
My design is still, a small  compound of weekend retreat. Units of Cylinders to inhabit are for people which they can come together and use the central 'hub' to share daily activities. The individual units shape, is semi cylindrical (see sketchbook).

I had 'flashback' inspiration, of a small weekend retreat in park in the Alps

Designer: I.D.E.A. architects, whom I worked with,  in Switzerland.

From here,  I have to twist my thoughts to focus on the 'Space'.
Space in which, would challenge the users to think systematically about;

The unusual 'organic' shape of the unit they're dwelling!. 
The unusual materials have constructed their units! 

 Cylinders (or semi-) covered with outer, attractive and colourful (TiO2) curvy  panels (see sketchbook).

 These 'organic' shaped 'spaces' could;
  • Attract the users to use it! 
  • Give chance to socialise!
  • Space will 'move' the users to different livings energy! as It might enable them to do what perhaps, they are not been able to do, on 'ordinary' days!
  • Space would awaken their awareness to aspects like climate, ecology.
 That what 'organic space' might do..
