LEARNING OUTCOMES.
1. Generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context

3. Design a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences
THIS PROJECT REQUIRES A LOT OF IN DEPTH RESEARCH FROM ALL SOURCES. I HAVE GAINED A LOT PRICELESS KNOWLEDGE THROUGH THIS ASSIGNMENT. I WAS REQUIRED TO THINK BEYOND THE BOX.
EXPLORING POETIC SPACES IS INDEED A VERY GOOD PLATFORM TO LEARN TO BE MORE CREATIVE, DARING AND MEANINGFUL WITH DESIGN.
 TOP VIEW AND PERSPECTIVE |  PRESENTATION BOARD 1.the concept of my building came from sacredness of the island. many visitors visited the island in hope of their wish being fulfilled. hence, they respected the place very highly. they are careful too, in order to not offend the spirits of the island. the design of the building is inspired by the tale of the appearance of the island. according to the legend, there was once a princess who longed for the return of her fisherman husband. however, a shipwreck took his life. |  PRESENTATION BOARD 2.building layout in response to the site context. |
|---|---|---|
 PRESENTATION BOARD 3.to reflect the sacredness of the island, the VIC is mainly constructed using masonry materials. |  PRESENTATION BOARD 4. |
in a depressed state, the princess committed suicide.
she was pregnant when she died. as she floated to the surface, she formed into an island. hence, the elevation of the island resembles a pregnant lady who is protecting the baby; similar to how the island is protecting its secrets.
masonry materials are solid and sturdy, which the visitors automatically pay respect to due to its massive scale.
