Following on from the tutorial this week I began to establish a more resolved concept for my future building design. This would prove to be important as it would allow me to begin to create conceptual designs. Davor spoke about creating a place of retreat and safety which was an advancement on my protection idea. I felt this wasn't fully resolved and felt like it needed to be stronger and more established. Consequently, my concept has evolved further. My concept is about EXPRESSION which is derived from my association and understanding of the site.
Particularly the site is well sheltered and protected from the bridge above and the cliffs surrounding the space. As a user you quickly develop a sense of comfort and safety as the site inspires you to act naturally and therefore express yourself naturally. This concept is further derived from the elements within the site. The towering story bridge expresses itself a structure of strength and rigidity, coupled with the cliffs which express natural beauty and form.
This creates a effective linkage to the Mutli-Arts Centre - which allows users to express themselves through dance, art and music.
