Preliminary Plan,
Design Development & Bay Model
The resulting design looks cool, like a tipi, that are major components in the aesthesis of the elevation on the skyline. Let the holders of the land recommence their Powwow Round Dancing Ceremonies.
Conceptually, the proposal goes in every direction other than down. This is dynamic and worth pursuing into the developmental stage. Staying true to freeing the ground was not only maintaining a personal design ethos, it also meant that it transitioned into an interesting way of naturally ventilating.
The flexibility of the architectural resolution is tested in exploring the perspectives. Still and dynamic views expose the material characteristics giving a sense of proportion, viability and context of the structure and its contents.
Permitting light to engage and nourish the plants resolves the problem of rationalizing the building as a "greenhouse", dedicated to the preservation of the surrounding landscape and its custodians, the Algonquin, who are an Anishinaabe people.
