CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT:
After group discussion, concept developed around the following notions:
- Unique location of Howard St Wharves at the centre of several communities, perceive the site as a community space/gathering space/town hall space
- A space for discusion/debate/physical exchange of information. Convosation -> Debate -> Insights/Critical Review -> Learning
- Form takes inspiration from primitive gathering space such as campfires, simplistic prehistoric materials (wood+stone)
Diagram above shows development of form through step by step process. Primitive shapes and simplistic construction/joinery techniques inform the design. Sight emulates a primitive campfire, optimizes vista upriver (towards city) and down river. Arrangement of seating is focused around center with peripheral benches to create multiple circles of convosation within the space.
