Quick Conceptual Render


This is a quick render to understand how my initial design and ideas works on site. Unfortuntely, it was undoubtly full of flaws, concentrating on forms was a habit that I need to get rid of. It became clear, although, from a local's perspective, it looks something that represents the city's symbol, it does not create the appropriate functions within the space. The form limits the function of circulation, interaction etc. I am still at a developement stage and the renders were made not only to understand the spatial spaces and see whether the design actually works, it was also to get more comments and initial ratings from the architecture community website. I have taken a step back and concentrated more on functions, still incooperating local vernacular but with more details and emphasising on the experience on site. Development work will be shown next.

Could we please discuss this? There are interesting things being developed in different places.

Many of the design intention here would be brought forward to the new design. The only thing that I am leaving behind is the shape of the building which imitates a 'Rafflesia'. The metaphor of the facade, the agriculture garden and the relationship between the stage and dining area would be put forward in a different angle. It was never mentioned much as I was concentrating on the function. Previously, the form was looked at all the time that function was neglected. Now I am trying to get 2 of these seperated developments to work together.
