Brief:
Within this project i need to design a destination that celebrates and welcomes visitors to the site. The dwellings needs to consist of Museum/nature centre (exhibitions of the site) with associated study and refreshment facilities, and overnight facilities.
The groups that may be visiting can be from the following;
Group 1: (group)
-eco tourists
-environmentalists
-naturalists
Group 2: (researchers)
-arboriculturalists
-biologists
-ecologists
-astronomers
Group 3: (families)
-wish to spend time in the nature, and find out the heritage of the site.
The dwelling needs to act as an environmental filter and create atmosphere. It should be expressive and meaningful, with respect to the immediate site and wider context of the area.
I have been asked to design 3 units;
-One embedded IN the landscape
-One Situated ON the landscape
-One elevated ABOVE the landscape
These units need to connect to each other whether its physically or pathways, walkways and external stairs.
